"Encounter of the 3rd kind" What is the 2nd kind? (asuming human is the 1st)?

Answer 1

First kind

A close encounter of the first kind is a sighting of an unidentified flying object or objects. Reports of "flying saucers", odd lights, or aerial objects unattributable to human technology, can all be considered close encounters of the first kind.


Second kind

A close encounter of the second kind is an observation of physical evidence of extra-terrestrial visitation. Footprints, heat or radiation damage to terrain, and crop circles found in the vicinity of a UFO sighting could be considered examples of close encounters of the second kind.


Third kind

A close encounter of the third kind is an observation of one or more occupants associated with one or more crafts.

Ted Bloecher added seven subtypes to the Third Kind:

* A: The entity is observed only inside the UFO
* B: The entity is observed inside and outside the UFO
* C: The entity is observed near to an UFO, but not going in or out.
* D: An entity is observed, although 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, nor UFO activity has been reported by someone else
* F: No entity nor UFOs are observed but the subject experiences some kind of "intelligent communication"
* G: Abduction: the subject is abducted by aliens

From UFO Casebook's Encounter Classification charts:

* H: The alien is either injured, captured, and/or killed by the witness(es) and/or military personnel. The UFO may be captured and/or destroyed by witness(es) and/or military personnel.

As Allan Hendry notes in his book The UFO Handbook, subtypes D, E, and F could be unrelated with the UFO phenomenon.

Some have added more types of encounters to Hynek's Scale


Fourth kind

A close encounter of the fourth kind is abduction by an extraterrestrial intelligence. This corresponds to a third kind, subtype G. There are two classes of CE4 encounters, the first class involving forcible abduction by an extraterrestrial intelligence of an unwilling abductee. The second class of CE4 contact involves willful agreement to be taken.

* In a Class 1 CE4 encounter abductees may experience severe reality distortion, memory lapses, "post abduction trauma" symptoms such as fear and anxiety, physiological effects, paralysis, and time-space disorientation.
* Events classified as a Class 2 CE4 are events that are technically classified as an abduction, but occur when a witness voluntary assists or willfully follows an entity.


Fifth kind

A close encounter of the fifth kind involves direct communication between an extraterrestrial intelligence and a human being. This corresponds to a third kind, subtype F. This is the rarest and most controversial form of close encounter. Many people in the New Age movement have asserted fifth-kind encounters. In some cases it could be related to schizophrenia.

Persons who claim to be in regular contact with alien life forms are known as contactees.


Sixth kind

A close encounter of the sixth kind involves the death of a human being or other animal during a witnessed encounter. Witnesses reporting UFOs flying above fields where cattle had been mutilated (cattle mutilation) would be classified as a sixth-kind encounter (CE6).
This could be a special class of the third kind, subtype G.


Seventh kind

A close encounter of the seventh kind involves genetic interchange between aliens and humans, and the fecundation of a human ovocyte with alien seed (maybe some type of blend of human sperm and alien chromosomes, with or without further pregnancy of a human being until the development of a chimeric embryo that can develop and grow inside an alien's body or inside some type of nurturing machine.
Some abductees claim that they met a blended human-alien race in space.
This could be a special class of the third kind, subtype G.
