SANTA FE (UPI) -New Mexico's perennial addictior to flying saucers has taker hold of the state again witl more _"obJects" reported t• police over the weekend. The latest, which brough out the Air Force and th1 FBI, was spotted - early Sun- day morning at La Madera, about 50 miles north of San- ta Fe. State Police Captain Martin Vigil said, "there was definitely something there." Orlando Gallegos of 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 silenUy from numerouS jets around the bottom of the object. It was as long as a telephone pole and about 14 feet in cir- cumference, he told police. Gallegos' report came on the heels of a similar report . from a Socorro policeman, Lonnie Zamora, who said be ' spotted an object near Socor- ' ro Friday · night. Zamora, in • clearing up false reports Sun- " day, said the object rose - 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, Georg.e Mitropolis, said he saw a ..silver looking" object. It dis- appeared over a mountain in the Caballo Reservoir area.
