He planned to visit the place where officer Lonnie Zamora said he spotted the · object Friday. Zamora said the object was a brilliant white with a red marking on it ... an upside down V with lines across the top, through the middle and at the bottom. He said that from a dis- tance there appeared to be two figures in white coveralls outside the object. It flew off with a roar when he ap- proached, he said. Since Zamora's sighting, at least six reports have been made to authorities, includ· ing one from a youth who said he fired several shots at something about 100 feet in the air near Moriarty. 1 T.
