This 217-page Project Blue Book desk file on the 24 April 1964 Socorro, New Mexico sighting by policeman Lonnie Zamora comes from the Rob Mercer collection. It contains the Blue Book record card, which carries the case as unidentified pending more data, along with Foreign Technology Division messages and resumes and a narrative of the sighting. It also holds inquiries about lunar modules, helicopters and VTOL craft, soil and radiation findings, and a letter by J. Allen Hynek rejecting Donald Menzel's hoax hypothesis.

This is to confirm our recent telephone conversation with
regard to your letter of May 2.0, 1964 in which you ask for information
relative to our experience in the lunar field. We believe a review of the
enclosed booklets will indicate to you that we do have considerable background
in this field.
We have submitted proposals to the Martin Company,
Baltimore, Maryland, and also Grumman in Bethpage, Long Island. These
were classified proposals, details of which are possibly available to you at
Wright Field.
Our Instrumentation and Control Division in Grand Rapids
received a contract {AF33{616) -6572.) several years ago covering a study of
"Vehicle Departure and Alightroent Concepts". Again, may we suggest that
the complete file on this subject is available to you at Wright Field. For your
convenient reference, we attach copies of reports 1, 3, 4, 5. 14, and 15
covering this particular study. These are probably the roost graphic reports
submitted against the contract, and will serve to show you the numerous areas
of study.
Our National Water Lift Division in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
produced the landing gear assembly for the "surveyor" project. A copy of a
single page brochure on this topic is enclosed.
