/ AiiJ:~e UF~..~ Expert iOTheck 'Saucer' Reports SOCORRO lA'!- Dr. J. Allen Hynek, special uri.identified flying object consultant f o r l the Air Force, arrived in So- l corro Tuesday night to begin his investigation of a Socorro ! policeman's report that he ' saw a mysterious ·flying ob- i ject last Friday. Dr. Hynek said he hoped to talk. to the policeman, Lonnie Zamora, and then visit t h e site where Zamora says he saw the object this morning. Dr. Hynek, of the D e a r- bom Observatory at North- western University, said he would decide whether to visit 1 Espanola, where another ob- I ject was reportedly spotted I over the weekend, after h i s ~v~stigation of the Socorro j mc1dent. : He said he had not been ad- vised by the Air Force if his presence here indicates that the government has eliminat- ed the possibility of U. S. air- craft having caused the re- ports. . Capt. Hector Quintanilla, chief of the Aerial Phenomena 1 Branch at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, said T. Sgt. David Moody of the office already was in New : Mexico and would assist Dr. · Hynek in the investigation. · Fired at Object The most recent report of the objects came early Tues- day morning from State Po- liceman Tommy Richardson of the US-Q6 community of Moriarty. He said he had a call. from Don Adams of Edgewood, near Moriarty, who told of seeing an object about 100 feet off the ground. ·He said it appeared to be a fluorescent or green-colored glowing ob- ject. . Adams told the officer he drove his car under the object and his car stalled. The youth reported he then got out and fired six shots at the object, reloaded and fired again. The report was another in a series which have kept New Mexico and military authori- ties busy since Zamora's or- iginal report Friday. The re- ports, until Tuesday, h a d come from points following a line from south of Truth or Consequences to an area near Espanola.
