produce the situation de-
scribed in the report," Holder
said. ·
Zamora said the craft clear-
ed a· dynamite shack by only
a couple of feet as it depart-
ed. He lost sight of it within
a m a t t e r of minutes, he
claimed.
He noticed the object after
he investigated a cloud of
smoke about a mile south of
Socorro. He was aware of the
dynamite shack in the vicini- ,
ty and thought at first it ex- ~
ploded, he said.
The craft was in a draw
not visible from main roads.
He first saw it from about
200 yards and thought it was
an overturned car. He said
he saw what appeared to be
a pair of white coveralls, but
whether anything was in them
he did not know.
Within 100 Feet
He eventually got within
about 100 feet, and it was
then Zamora said he noticed
it was something out of the
ordinary. ·
"It had red lettering of some
kind on the sides," Zamora
said .- He . said the object was
on the ground, supported by
four girder-like legs.
At the site, four five to six
inch depressions were found
as well as· a couple of round 1
tracks a bout four inches in 1
diameter which officers theo- 1
rized might have been made 'I
by occupants of the craft.
They even · went so far as to
estimate by the depression '1
that the tracks were made
by a being of approximately
120-160 pounds.
On the spot where the ob-
ject supposedly sat was a
once-green bush, most of it
burned bare. by exhaust ·heat.
Zamora said it was still smok-
ing several minutes after the
craft's departure.
Leslie J. Lorenzen, a mem-
ber of the Aerial Phenomena
Research Organization. drove

to Socorro from Tucson to
take samples of the soil and ,
indicated the story was credi- ,
ble to him.

incredible things," Lorenz e n ~
