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.

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT Suddenly noted a shiny type object to south about 150 to 200 yards. It was off the road. At first glance, stopped. It looked, at first, like a car turned upside down. Thought some kids might have turned over. Saw two people in white coveralls very close to the object. One of these persons seemed to turn and look straight at my car and seemed startled--seemed to quickly jump somewhat. When I first saw the object, (when I thought it might be a car), I saw what appeared to be two legs of some type from the object to the ground. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to what it was--I thought it was an accident--I saw the two persons. I didn't pay attention to the two "legs?" The two "legs" were at the bottom of the object, slanted outwards to the ground. The object might have been about thee and a half feet from the ground at that time. I just glanced at it. At this time I started moving my car towards them quickly, with idea to help. Had stopped about only a couple seconds. Object was like aluminum--it was whitish against the mesa background, but not chrome. Seemed like in shape and I at first glance took it to be an overturned white car. Car appeared turned up like standing
