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'. |

Joseph M. McQuaid observed a silver, elongated object
that was flat looking as if looking at the side of a
dime. The object was approximately 7 degrees above the
horizon at approximately 90 degrees azimuth and
apparently stationary. No weather balloons or aircraft
were reported in the area. The object was in sight for
approximately 5 minutes until it became obscured by
cloud.
