A Comment: This type was not included in Hynek's original close encounters scale.
Jacques Vallee, [unreliable source?] Hynek's erstwhile associate argued that a CE4 should be described as "cases when witnesses experienced a transformation of their sense of reality",
to also include non-abduction cases where absurd, hallucinatory, or dreamlike events are associated with UFO encounters.
The basic encounter
The scientific view is there are four types of close encounters with dimensional or physical beings, two types that I know from my investigation; the two and maybe a Third three types of physical beings, maybe spiritual in nature or alien the falling one. (angelic)
