This Project Blue Book file on the Socorro, New Mexico sighting of 24 April 1964 compiles an Air Force record card and a large set of press clippings. The clippings cover policeman Lonnie Zamora's report of an egg-shaped object with four landing marks and scorched brush, plus J. Allen Hynek's investigation and follow-up reports from La Madera, Edgewood and elsewhere. An Air Force summary says soil and brush analysis found no foreign material, radiation or propellant, that the case remains open, and that later related sightings were explained or found to be hoaxes.

there at least once a year (on my way to Las Cruces) just to see if anything has turned up. Sometimes confessions come years afterwards.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to seeing both of you in Cambridge this summer. As you may know, we have rented a house at 57 Avon Hill Street. I hope very much that we can spend some pleasant evenings, the three of us, arguing cases.
All is well here. The 24-inch in New Mexico gets delivered in about a month, and construction has started on the 40-inch for the observatory here. Sorry to have been so late in answering your letter, but here it is anyway.
Sincerely yours,
J. Allen Hynek Director
