M/R: On 18 May 1964 TSgt Moody called Mr Opal Grinder at 835-9916 in Socorro New Mexico regarding the article appearing in the Socorro ElDefnnsor & Chieftan concerning an additional witness to the Zamora sighting. Mr Grinder manages the Whiting Brothers Service Station. He could give no information other than that appearing in the newspaper article. He did not remember the type of car or license. He assumed that the occupant was going or returning from vacation, due to luggage and clothing in the car. The car had a single occupant. He stated that the witness said the object came from the East over the highway and had remarked about the low altitude and odd appearance of the craft. He will be on the look out in case the witness returns to Socorro.
