UFO CLASSIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
RELATIVELY DISTANT SIGHTINGS
|
|
|
|
NL NOCTURNAL LIGHT These are sightings of well-defined lights in the
|
|
night sky whose appearance and/or motions are not explainable in terms
|
|
of conventional light sources. The lights appear most often as red,
|
|
orange or white. They represent the largest groups of UFO reports.
|
|
|
|
DD DAYLIGHT DISKS Daytime sightings are generally of oval or disk-
|
|
shaped metalic objects. They can appear high in the sky or close to the
|
|
ground (as elsewhere) and are often reported to hoover. They can seem
|
|
to appear with astounding speed.
|
|
|
|
RV RADAR/VISUALS Of especial significance are unidentified "blipps"
|
|
on radar screens which co-incide with, and confirm, simultaneous visual
|
|
sightings by the same or other witness(es).
|
|
|
|
RELATIVELY CLOSE SIGHTINGS (within 200 yards)
|
|
|
|
CE1 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIRST KIND Though the witness observes a
|
|
UFO nearby, there appears to be no intervention with either the witness
|
|
or the environment.
|
|
|
|
CE2 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SECOND KIND These encounters include de-
|
|
tails of interaction between the UFO and the environment, which may vary
|
|
from interference with car ignition systems and electronic gear to im-
|
|
prints or burns on the ground and physical effects on plants, animals,
|
|
and humans.
|
|
|
|
CE3 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND In this category, OCCUPANTS
|
|
from a UFO (entities of more or less humanlike appearance now referred
|
|
to as "HUMANOIDS," or nonhuman creatures) have been reported. There is
|
|
usually no direct contact or communication with the witness, but there
|
|
have been some reports, increasing in recent years, of incidents in-
|
|
volving very close contact with, and even temporary detainment of, the
|
|
witness(es).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ted Bloecher has taken these classifications a little further with the follow-
|
|
humanoid/interaction descriptions as a continuation of the CE3 category.
|
|
|
|
TYPE A Entity is observed inside object only (the true OCCUPANT), through
|
|
doors, ports et cetera. Association is explicit.
|
|
|
|
TYPE B Entity is observed getting into and/or out of object (or the "egress-
|
|
ed" occupant). Association is explicit.
|
|
|
|
TYPE C Entity is seen only in vicinity of object, not entering or leaving
|
|
it. Association is implicit.
|
|
|
|
TYPE D Entity is observed only, although there is general UFO activity in
|
|
the area at the time. Association is circumstantial.
|
|
|
|
TYPE E Entity is observed independent of object and there is no record of
|
|
UFO activity at that time. Association is negative.
|
|
|
|
TYPE F A close encounter with an object, but no entity seen; however, voices
|
|
are heard or messages received. Association is implicit.
|
|
|
|
TYPE G ABDUCTION or "on board" experience by witness, with entities usually
|
|
present; if not, their presence is implicit.
