SOURCS : J..LBU Q. -;;:R ~J,JE , jCUF.NAL DATF.: 28 APR 64 1 'Flying Saucer' Reports Spread In New ~lexico SANTA FE (UPI) - New Mexico's perennial addiction to flying saucers has taken hold of the state again with more "objects·• reported to police over the weekend. The latest, which brought out the Air Force and the FBI, was spotted early Sun- day rr.orning at La Madera, about 50 miles north o! San- ta Fe. State Police Captain Martin Vigil said, "there was definitely something there." Orlando Gallegos ol Santa Fe told State Police he got within 200 feet of a huge met- al object that looked like an egg-shaped butane tank. He said flames spurted silently fro::p n.ume rous ; ~ts r.r«' Ll n~ · the bottom o! th.e object. It , was as long as a telephone ! pole and e cout 14 ieet in cir- 1, cumference, he told police. Gallegos' report came on• the heels o! a similar report 1 from a Socorro policeman, Lonnie Zamora, who said he 1 spotted an object near Socor- ro Friday night. Zamora, in clearing up false reports Sun- day, said the object rasP about 20 feet off the ground and slowly flew away. Similar reports came from a Socorro teenager, an Albu- querque motorist, and t w o men driving in the La Mad- era area Saturday night. The Albuquerque motorist, George Mitro polis, said he saw · a "silver looking" object. It dis- appeared over a mountain in the Caballo Reservoir area. In both the Socorro and the La Madera r e p o r t s the ground in the areas where the objects were reported to have landed was scorched and burned. Also found were "paw prints, like a mountain lion's," as well as "landing gear marks" - four impres- sions in the dirt. Until the recent spottings, the last unidentified fly ing ob- ject was spotted in New Mex- ico near Gallup late last year I by several motorists. A cam- pus policeman at the Univer- 1 sity of New Mexico also spot- \ ted the Gallup object flying : .n the western sky at the ;arne time. i · LA ~.ADER/l. , NEW MEXICORob Mercer
