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. |

Bt. 1:00 & 2:00 AM. After their first brief sighting the couple was several miles down the road, discussing what had just happened while the lady was searching the sky. On her side of the road (east) there was a craft that was huge that hung in the air. It was a large craft like an aircraft carrier or barge. that was angled or tilted toward them. It had a dome on the back and a long flat area on the front with two huge searchlights. They stopped the car and she rolled down the window, but couldn't hear any noise except her heart beating very fast. They sat and watched it, then it began to move toward them. They continued to watch it until she could not see it anymore. She described the second craft as "very industrial looking, too heavy to be hanging in the sky. Industrial metallic with intricate squares on the outer sides, metal working that might have been indentations." Dome, somewhat shallow, was described as smooth looking, iridescent, illuminated from inside.
