NOCTURNAL LIGHT - Any anomalous light(s) seen in the night sky whose description rules out the possibilities of aircraft lights, stars, meteors and the like.

DAYLIGHT DISK - UFOs seen in the distant daytime sky. The UFOs classed in this category can be other shapes as well, like cigars, eggs and ovals.
