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'. |
| Dan Wilson: May 22, 1965; Albuquerque, New Mexico (BB) 6:55 a.m. MST. Ronnie Charlson, his wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, observed six egg-shaped objects in a V-shaped formation traveling at high speed from east to west and moving overhead. The objects broke formation and came to almost a halt and changed directions to the northeast. The objects appeared to glow dimly from within and had the apparent size of a small eraser held at arm's length. There was no sound heard. The length of the observation was approximately 30 seconds. |
