Classification of Distant Encounter is usually
an incident involving an object more than 500
feet from the witness. At night it is
classified as a "nocturnal light" (NL) and
during the day as a "daylight disc" (DD). The
size of the object or the viewing conditions
may render the object in greater detail but
yet not qualify the sighting as a Close
Encounter which is an object within
500'. |

9:05 p.m. MST. A civilian observed a mushroom
shaped object rising in the south and moving north.
When the object reached a point overhead it turned NE.
At this point the object flashed and seven objects in
an arrowhead formation emanated from the main object.
These seven objects traveled east while the main
object traveled to the NE. The first object had the
apparent size of a marble held at arm's length. The
total length of the observation was around six
minutes.
