Tigger has a Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Wikipedia defines Close Encounter as an Ufology term describing the various kinds of interaction that could occur between an Earthen and an Alien being. The terms entered the public lexicon in 1977 via the Steven Speilberg Movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The terminology and the system of classification behind it was first introduced by J. Allen Hynek, astronomer and ufologist in 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry. At the present time there are five classifications of an Alien/Earthen encounter.

They are:

1. Close Encounter of the First Kind - An encounter of this classification is described as a sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object. The object could be a flying saucer, strage lights in the sky or an aerial object that does not move in a manner consistent to human technology.

2. A Close Encounter of the Second Kind occurs when the sight of a Flying Object either has observed or struck with a physical after affect that can be attributed to the sighting. Heat, radiation, damage to the local terrain, human paralysis, radio or TV interference are all examples of Second Kind Encounters.

3. The Third type of Encounter was made popular by the movie of the same name. This classification entails the observation of an animate being of non Earthen origin in close association with the UFO.

4. A Close Encounter of the Fourth kind only occurs when the observer is actually abducted by the UFO and/or its occupants.
