This FBI Albuquerque office memorandum, dated May 8, 1964, reports on an unidentified flying object seen at Socorro, New Mexico, on April 24, 1964. Special Agent D. Arthur Byrnes, Jr. went to the site and describes four depressions, burned grass and circular marks in the ground. The memo also gives Officer Lonnie Zamora's detailed account of a flame and a roar, a shiny aluminum-like object with two figures in white coveralls, a red insignia, and the object's departure. The memo states that it contains no conclusions.

and about four times as high as top was wide. Did not notice any object at top, did not note if top of limbs was level. Sun was to west and did not help vision. Had green sun glasses over prescription glasses. Could not see bottom of flume because it was behind the hill. No smoke notod. Noted some "composition" at bottom dust? Possibly from windy day--wind was blowing hard. Clear sunny sky otherwise--just a few clouds scattered over area.
