SOCORRO IA'I- Dr. J. Allen Hynek, special unidentified flying object consultant f or the Air Force, arrived in So- corro Tuesday night to begin his investigation of a Socorro policeman's report that he saw a mysterious flying ob- ject last Friday. Dr. Hynek said be hoped to talk to the policeman, Lonnie . Zamora, and then visit t h e 1 1site where Zamora says he . ·saw the object this morning. Dr. Hynek, of the Dear- bom Observatory at North- westeJT. University, said he would decide whether to visit . Espanola, where another ob- i ject was reportedly spotted ~ over the weekend, after h i s 1 investigation of the Socorro t Dlcident. t He said he had not been ad- 1 vised by the Air Force if his presence here indicates that l the .government has eliminat- c ed the possibility of U. S. air- l craft having caused the re- l' ports. t Capt. Hector Quintanilla, ~ chief of the Aerial Phenomena Branch at Wright-Patterson r Air Force Base, Ohio, said 1 T. Sgt. David Moody of the office already was in New 1 Mexico and would assist Dr. 1 ·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-66 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. Space.
