Classification of Close Encounter is usually
an incident involving an object less than 500
feet from the witness. The size of the
object, viewing conditions, or
stereoscopic vision (depth perception)
may render the object in greater detail and
still qualify the sighting as a Close
Encounter even though the object may have been
beyond 500'. The incident depicted in
the logo was encountered during an intense
storm near Princeton, IN, Aug. 1973. |

Nov. 1, 1973; Bufkin, Indiana 10:40 p.m. A male witness called the UFO hotline at the UFO Filter Center at Mt. Vernon, Indiana, and reported that a blue and green object with a humming noise was observed for about 10 minutes, about 5 miles NE of Mt. Vernon at the tiny rural community of Bufkin. The object was maneuvering, back and forth, first from west to east, then north to south, while moving up and down. It was last seen to the south at the Meade Johnson Plant just east of at Mt. Vernon near hwy 62. The report was one of many coming in to the Center during the wave of 1973. Call was recorded. The encounter range was determined by the humming noise reported. (UFOFC, Ridge files, FI-4) An hour before this incident, the MADAR site at Mt. Vernon had an anomaly at 9:47 p.m. The duration was very brief, less than one second, but was a definite compass heading change, and the background radiation level was 18 cpm, normal for the area.
