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. |

August 22nd, 1987; Hawesville, Kentucky 11:00 PM, The lady observed the object for about 3-5 minutes. The locale of the sighting was Hancock County, Hawesville, Kentucky, described as rural with fields and hills. The sky was clear. She was traveling west on U.S. 60.....she had left my parents' home in Hawesville, and was headed (west) to Lewisport, alone. She first noticed some bright red and blue lights to her right (north) and thought it was an airplane or lights from an industrial plant. As she approached the object, she noticed brilliant gold, blue and red lights on what seemed to be on the sides of the object. And it gave off a white glow beneath the object, which lit up the ground below and surrounding trees. The object hovered over the same location (15-20' off the ground). As she approached this, she became very shaky, her knees were so weak she could not apply pressure to the gas pedal. She watched the object for a few minutes, then finally got her legs to move and left as fast as she could. IShe had a terrible feeling of being alone and lost. 3-5 mins (Fran Ridge/MUFON) Note: I heard about and investigated this case, myself. The report came from a local friend. It was her sister-in- law who had had this very interesting close encounter. Detailed reports and documents report/870822hawesville_report.htm (Fran Ridge) Case file folder |
