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'. |

11:40 p.m. EST. At least 2
Cocoa Police officers and several other persons
observed four round objects the size of a pea held at
arm's length in a diamond formation that appeared to
be stationary in the sky. The objects were colored
orange, white or green during the period of
observation. One other object was observed to the west
of the diamond formation. One object was seen to leave
the diamond formation and move away at a very fast
rate of speed and after approximately 30 seconds it
moved back into the formation. Two other policemen in
front of the police headquarters observed a yellow
light with a ring around it at approximately 11:30
p.m. The object bobbed back and forth and appeared to
be the size of a 50 cent piece held at arm's length.
The object was observed for several minutes.
