The Hynek System is a system developed to classify UFO's;
NL (nocturnal light): a simple visual sighting of a unidentified flying light seen at night.
ND (nocturnal disc): a simple visual sighting of a unidentified flying extended or structured light source seen at night. (This is an extension to Hynek's system).
DD (daylight disc): A simple visual sighting of a UFO with distinct shape seen during the day.
Radar Cases: UFOs detected by Radar.
Radar Visual Cases: UFOs observed visually whilst being simultaneously on radar. From Hynek's study these make up 1 to 2% of reports.
Close Encounters of the first kind (CE1, CEI): as first defined by Hynek, a CE1 is an observation of a UFO within 150 yards.
Close Encounters of the second kind (CE2, CEII): a UFO which leaves some form of physical evidence. Example: A burn where the UFO appeared to touch the ground or the finding of material of unknown makeup.
Close Encounters of the third kind (CE3, CEIII): a visual sighting of an occupant or entity associated with a UFO. An analysis by Hynek of 650 reports found only 1% to be CE3 (Close Encounters beyond the third kind are extensions to the basic Hynek system. Different authors have used the same designation to mean different things.)
Close Encounters of the forth kind (CE4, CEIV): an abduction of an individual by an alien being or race.
Close Encounters of the fifth kind (CE5, CEV): a direct contact or communication with alien being or race.
This RPG is set in a small town in the USA called New Winchester.
It's a farming town, with a close community, the sort you see in those soppy movies, with golden fields and patches of woodland. Except in NW there has been alot of paranormal activity, ranging from sightings of UFOs to cattle mutilation. The FBI rolled in after the fourth mutilation and closed off the areas where anything paranormal has happened. Something BIG is going on...
We will try and make the RPing informing also, by including REAL pictures/videos/sounds of UFO's to add to the experience.
