This Black Vault release compiles 1964 newspaper and wire service clippings plus a Project Blue Book summary on the Socorro, New Mexico sighting by policeman Lonnie Zamora on April 24, 1964, when an egg-shaped object left four depressions and burned brush. It covers J. Allen Hynek's site visit, APRO and NICAP comment, and related New Mexico reports at La Madera, Edgewood and Albuquerque. The Air Force summary reports that soil and brush analysis found no radiation or propellant, and the case remained open.

# THE CLEVELAND PNEUMATIC TOOL COMPANY May 26,1964 Reference: SD-2-1733 Headquarters Foreign Technology Division Air Force Systems Command United States Air Force Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio ATTENTION: Captain Hector Quintanilla/TDEW SUBJECT: Lunar Module Spacecraft Landing Gear Gentlemen: This is to confirm our recent telephone conversation with regard to your letter of May 20, 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 Alightment 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 most 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.
