Cyclops, which would happen to be polyphemus.
A meeting with space aliens during a UFO incident is what is involved in an encounter of the third kind. There may or may not be some kind of communication in this encounter. What distinguishes this encounter from that of the fourth kind is the lack of human removal, whether forcible or otherwise, from the scene.
The Cyclops, Polyphemus, gives Odysseus and his men a hostile welcome. Instead of hospitality, he captures them and shows no respect for their lives or customs, demonstrating savagery and brutality. He devours several of Odysseus's men and expresses contempt for their pleas, revealing his monstrous nature. This encounter highlights the stark contrast between Greek values of hospitality and the Cyclops's barbarism.

In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus and his men encounter a hostile form of xenia among the Laestrygonians. Instead of offering hospitality, the Laestrygonians attack the Greek ships, destroying them and devouring many of Odysseus's crew. This brutal rejection of the sacred guest-host relationship illustrates the dangers of encountering uncivilized and barbaric peoples, contrasting sharply with the positive hospitality experienced elsewhere in the epic.
The word encounter could be followed by prepositions such as with (encounter with danger). Also the preposition of (encounter of the third kind).
