# Socorro Officer Saw Two Men Step Out of Big UFO
SOCORRO, April 25 (P) A report by a Socorro policeman that he saw an eggshaped flying object land near here yesterday has the FBI and military authorities interested.
Officer Lonnie Zamora said he not only saw the object but also saw two occupants who alighted after it landed about one mile southwest of Socorro in a draw.
sions were irregularly spaced with the distance between them varying from about nine feet to 15 feet. He estimated the length of the object at about 15 feet from the position of what apparently were landing gear legs.

"I was scared," said Azmora, when he heard the deep roar. "I thought it was going to blow up."
Zamora said he called Sgt. Chavez on his car radio. Chavez joined him and both approached the site of the apparent landing. They found scorched ground and burned weeds.
