The conversation turned to close encounters with bell-less bicyclists.

The asteroid periodically alternates between these two orbits due to close encounters with Earth.

Close encounters of the third kind.

Objects with eccentric orbits continue to increase in orbital eccentricity over longer time-scales to eventually break out of resonance due to close encounters with a major planet.

These orbits slowly increase their eccentricity on a timescale of tens of millions of years, and will eventually break out of the resonance due to close encounters with a major planet.

'Close encounters of the worst kind,' she used to call them.

Until the mid-1960s, NICAP gave little attention to close encounters of the third kind (where animated beings are purportedly sighted in relation to a UFO).
