│ BERLINER SIGHTING REPORT CLASSIFICATIONS │
│ _____________________________________________ │
│ │
│This is a two-part classification, with an escalating grade from one to ten │
│within each. The "Strangeness Scale" expands on the HYNEK divisions, most │
│notably adding "Night Object" as distinguished from HYNEK's nocturnal light │
│and daylight disc; separating close encounters of the first kind into night │
│and daylight; dividing CE-2's into "ambiguous" (e.g. landing trace without an│
│aerial object report) and "unambiguous"; and separating CE-3's into observa- │
│tion only, occupant reaction and meaningful communication. │
│ │
│The BERLINER "Creditability Scale" ranks cases by the number and observation-│
│al expertise of the witness(es) or, as more highly rated, by the device to │
│verify the observation (radar, still photo, movie/videotape and live TV). │
│ │
│Preliminary evaluations rely on the BERLINER gradings to determine the nature│
│of the event as described by the witness(es). See the March, 1987 issue of │
│the "Journal" for Mr. Berliner's explanation of this grading method. │
