Seventh kind

We need a Close encounters of the Seventh Kind. This is in which the UFO witness is on the UFO, and the military takes it out. I've heard of a case of this nature from C2CAM while I was in the AZ area. A UFO was allegedly shot down over a military base in FL. The govt. got the UFO, aliens and some people abducted by the aliens. Martial Law 03:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to confirm this, nor deny this either. Martial Law 03:22, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's sixth kind: Someone (Alien or Human) gets killed. Seventh is about NEW LIFE ! --87.3.213.14 18:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this deleted (close encounters of sixth, seventh & eighth kind)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.163.19.99 (talk) 16:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Citations of the first kind?

I've an old paperback book titled "Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind" which recounts various sexual encounters with extraterrestrials. I mention this for two reasons: 1. it's a laff riot, and 2. it points up a problem with this page, namely that none of these expansions of the CE1-3 scale has either authority (which isn't so bad) or citation (which is). Without citation or some other means of weighing the usefulness of proposed labels, this page can only remain a catalog of its drafter's own preferences. True, many Wikipedia pages can also be described that way, but among paranormal-themed pages, it comes across as being more of a serious flaw. Adding citations would do a lot to heighten the NPOV here, or alternately, listing the various proposed expansions without ranking them as "fifth", "eighth", etc. If the field itself is not decided on a terminology, neither should an article about the state of the field, right?

I agree with your considerations. I've added some comments about subtypes to the third kind proposed by Ted Bloecher. --ElfQrin 13:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Close Encounters
The following list of close encounters was first developed by Dr. J. Allen Hynek. I've added several others based on my own and the experiences of many others. Hynek proposed CE1 through CE5. It is clear that the others also exist.
CE1: A close encounter of the first kind is a UFO sighting within about 500 feet of the observer or witness.
CE2: A close encounter of the second kind is a UFO sighting that leaves physical evidence such as markings on the ground, burns, frightens animals, or interferes with engines, communications, radios, television reception.
CE3:A close encounter of the third kind includes sighting of alien occupants and perhaps detailed markings on the UFO.
CE4: A close encounter of the fourth kind is one in which the person reports being abducted.
CE5: A close encounter of the fifth kind is one where there is communication between and alien and a human.
CE6: A close encounter of the sixth kind is one in which there is voluntary participation of a human in the alien encounter and may include travel with an alien to a remote location and back.
CE7: A close encounter of the seventh kind is an encounter between a human and an alien but under the direction of the human where the alien participates in a service in a assisting, consulting or helping capacity.
Most if not all CE4s are actually CE6s where the human participant has forgotten their voluntary agreement.
Any agreements or prior arrangements can be cancelled or made void by the intent or a change of mind by the human. Just say no. Often if you decide to cancel an arrangement, your partner will have the opportunity to participate. They will experience a powerful seduction to participate in something new or unusual.
Many close encounters occur in dreamscape where the mind is a bit more accepting of other possibilities.

ok i moved the list here until someone can give some citation (:O) -Nima Baghaei ^{talk · cont · email} 15:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The ''sixth kind'' and ''seventh kind'' have been introduced by some in the ufology community, but no formal recognition has yet been published.

== Sixth kind ==
The death of a human being or other animal during a witnessed encounter. {{Fact|date=April 2007}} Witnesses reporting UFOs flying above fields where cattle had been mutilated (See [[cattle mutilation]]) would be classified as a sixth-kind encounter. {{Fact|date=April 2007}}

== Seventh kind ==
The creation of a human alien hybrid, either through sexual contact or by scientific means. {{Fact|date=April 2007}} For example, see the case of [[Antonio Villas Boas]]
