"come and look.'' She said they
both saw the flying object in
the air.
"It looked like a dish plate
upside down and spun away
just like a plate would spin if
you flung it into the air," Mrs.
Reyes said. "It carried a light
on the bottom, a bright light.'
"I'M REALLY SURPRISED.
I never expected to see any-
thing like that around here. My
husband and I had talked about
the thing the people saw in
New Mexico, but I didn't think
I would ever see anything like
that here.
"I'Pl 1 t 111 shaking," she
added.
Several small planes were In
the air at the time of Mrs.
Reyes' report, but she insisted
the object she saw was not an
airplane.

reported objects in a state load·
ed with radar Installations.
"It Is my understanding that
New Mexico has more than its
sllare of radar installations," Hy-
nek said. "It seems strange to
me that MTI (Moving Target
Interception) radar did not pick
up anything."
HYNEK WAS In Socorro yes-
terday to talk to Socorro police· II
man Lonnie Zamora who started
it all when he said he saw a I
bathtub-shaped object at dusk
last Friday. \
Zamora said the object stood \
on four girder-like legs. He said
when he approached the object, Iit flew away. .
Hynek said Zamora is a "level ·
headed police officer." Hynek \1
said he believes Zamora saw
something, but does not know I
wflat It is. I
The latest reports came from
deep southern New Mexico last
night when many reported seeing
a bright object making low passes.
JIM-NAVARRO, an employe at
the port of entry at Anthony,
New Mexico • Texas, said he saw
the object the past two nights.
"It was the same type illumina-
tion as a star, but it was too
close, too bright and too big,"
Navarro said.
He said it seemed to remain
still for a long time, then took
off at a -high rate o: speed. Na-
varro said when It took off, It
appeared to change "to all kinds
of colors.''
A state policeman said he heard
reports from the ·Air Force that
a plane had been dispatched in
the area.
REPORTS from Deming and
Hatch said many had seen the
same object.
The Air Force said low-flyjng
jets have been taking pictures
day and night from Albuquerque
west to Kingman, Ariz. and from
Deming west to Casa Grande,
Ariz. IThe planes use bright Strobe
units that flash off and on, light·
lng a large area f o r picture
taking.

ring of blue flame erupting from
many jets around the bottom of
, 1the craft. The jets were noiseless
and were turned off While he
watched. He saw no persons a-
round the craft which he describ-
ed as a windowless bright metal,
egg-shaped object and as long as
a telephone pole, and probably 141
feet in circumference.
No one ventured out -of the
Gallegos home again during the
night. The object was gone in
, the morning, but the ground was
I\still smoldering.

!!Kirtland Air Force Base, Albu-
1querque, was to visit the scene.
