Close encounter

A close encounter in ufology is an event where a person witnesses an unidentified flying object. This terminology and the system of classification behind it was started by astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek, and was first suggested in his 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry.[1] He introduced the first three kinds of encounters; more sub-types of close encounters were later added by others, but these additional categories are not universally accepted by UFO researchers, mainly because they depart from the scientific rigor that Hynek aimed to bring to ufology.[2]
Sightings more than 500 feet (160 m) from the witness are classified as "Daylight Discs," "Nocturnal Lights," or "Radar/Visual Reports."[3] Sightings within about 500 feet are subclassified as various types of "close encounter." Hynek and others[4] argued a claimed close encounter must occur within about 500 feet to greatly reduce or eliminate the possibility of misidentifying conventional aircraft or other known phenomena.

Contents

Close Encounter of the First kind

A sighting of one or more unidentified flying objects:
  • Flying saucers
  • Odd lights
  • Aerial objects that are not attributable to known human technology

Close Encounter of the Second kind

An observation of a UFO, and associated physical effects from the UFO, including:

Close Encounter of the Third kind

An observation of what Hynek termed "animate beings" observed in association with a UFO sighting.[6] Hynek deliberately chose the somewhat vague term "animate beings" to describe beings associated with UFOs without making any unfounded assumptions regarding the beings' origins or nature. Hynek did not necessarily regard these beings as "extraterrestrials" or "aliens." Additionally, Hynek further expressed discomfort with such reports, but felt a scientific obligation to include them, at the very least because they represented a sizable minority of claimed UFO encounters.

Bloecher subtypes

The UFO researcher Ted Bloecher proposed seven subtypes for the close encounters of the third kind in the Hynek's scale.
A: An entity is observed only inside the UFO
B: An entity is observed inside and outside the UFO
C: An entity is observed near to a UFO, but not going in or out.
D: An entity is observed. No UFOs are seen by the observer, but UFO activity has been reported in the area at about the same time
E: An entity is observed. But no UFOs are seen and no UFO activity has been reported in the area at that time
F: No entity or UFOs are observed, but the subject experiences some kind of "intelligent communication"

Close Encounter of the Fourth kind

A human is abducted by a UFO or its occupants. This type was not included in Hynek's original close encounters scale.[6]
Jacques Vallee,[7] Hynek's erstwhile associate, argued that a CE4 should be described as "cases when witnesses experienced a transformation of their sense of reality," so as to also include non-abduction cases where absurd, hallucinatory or dreamlike events are associated with UFO encounters.
Also in some cases, The Fourth Kind is described as being in the presence or under possession. Described in various UFO abduction cases as the most fearful experience of any.. the presence, not true visibility, but the realm, or sense of their presence.

Close Encounter of the Fifth kind

Named by Steven M. Greer's CSETI group, these purported encounters are joint, bilateral contact events produced through the conscious, voluntary and proactive human-initiated or cooperative communication with Extraterrestrial intelligence. This is very similar to some "contactees" of the 1950s who claimed regular communication with benevolent aliens.







Close Encounter of the Sixth kind

On Michael Naisbitt's website, a sixth proposed CE scenario is described as UFO incidents that cause direct injury or death.[8] This category was not included in Hynek's scale, and is furthermore redundant: a CE2 in Hynek's scale specifically included UFO encounters that leave direct physical evidence of any kind.

Close Encounter of the Seventh kind

The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project proposes a Close Encounter of the Seventh Kind as human-alien hybridisation,[9]. This concept similar to ideas promoted by ancient astronauts theorists like Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin and Robert K.G. Temple, in that extraterrestrials interacted with, perhaps interbred with and influenced ancient human beings in the past[10].
This concept of CE7 is at odds with Hynek's original concepts, however. Hynek's CE3 specifically avoided describing UFO occupants as "aliens" or "extraterrestrials," contending that there was not enough evidence to determine if beings associated with UFOs had an objective physical reality, let alone to confirm their origins or motives.



















LATEST UFO SIGHTINGS

UFOs have been showing up, all over the world, from time to time. Some of the latest ufo sightings 2009 took place in Europe, and also in United States. Many people, believers and skeptics alike, now believe that this maybe a sign of imminent contact or revelation about life forms outside our planet.
Amongst the latest UFO sightings 2009, is the Mysterious craft which was spotted over a small town in the Czech Republic on 14th of February. This created quite a stir amongst the local population; many flocked to the local radio stations, newspapers and police departments with calls and enquiries regarding the strange objects which appeared in the sky. Though the flashes of strange light lasted for about a minute, it caught the attention of many locals. Many people who were witness to the incident said that there was no earth-like feeling about the light and the speed at which it vanished. Many of the residents, who were previously skeptical about UFOs, after this incident, believe that there is a possibility of extra terrestrial activity.
In Florida, USA, on 02-28-09 there was report of one of the latest UFO sighting 2009. The witnesses saw a huge cigar-shaped craft, followed by four triangular-shaped ones. The sightings lasted for 1-2 minutes. After this they also saw a series of balls of light in different formations. All the objects and lights seen by the witnesses allegedly were moving south to north, at the same speed, over the Atlantic Ocean for more than an hour. Many airplanes and helicopters which were in the area, seemed undisturbed by the flying objects. Conspicuously there was no report of this incident in the local papers.
Another one of the latest UFO sightings in 2009 was in Kentucky on 02-29-09. According to some of the witnesses, they saw a disc like flying object fling over the horizon. Surprisingly this object was flying at a low altitude, and looked like it was grazing over the rooftops, according to some observers. As it was raining that very day, not many people got a glimpse of it, but those who did, claim that the disc like object looked more like a giant Frisbee in the sky but made no noise and for such a large object, it was eerily silent.
Another report of the sighting was made in New Jersey, USA, on 02-27-09. It is one of the latest UFO sightings in 2009. The observers supposedly saw three star-shaped blinking lights, which appeared and disappeared constantly. Some even say that the lights on the street and the porches went off as soon as those blinking lights were seen. Following this, a brighter neon blue light appeared in the sky, and seemed to cast a dark shade all around the people. This looked like a regular thunderstorm to most people, but they were soon aware that there was no noise, no clouds and no sign of rain. It was also noticed by many who happened to drive by Ocean City, that there was a presence of five red star-like objects in the sky. Like before, the lights kept changing formation, going from a straight line to a triangle, from time to time. The lights seemingly appeared and disappeared, to the on lookers.

Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland United Kingdom Orange colored UFOs were spotted during the evening.

McDonald said, "I know that I saw something that wasn’t from here. I’ve never seen anything move that way. It wasn’t birds. [As the UFO approached] it broke apart into 20 or more of these little spheres ... birds don’t dive-bomb in at each other. " 1 [105]

Bangalore India Afzal Khan told CNN IBN that he photographed a UFO, "Today (Monday) at around 9 pm (IST), I and my brothers saw a bright, slow-moving object which looked like a group of lights moving in a triangular formation in the sky towards west/north-west direction.

During this time we managed to take some pictures with my camera. The astronomical/space/science departments of any activity in the sky during the above time can be confirmed.
