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.

Editor Telegraph Hetald News Dubuque, Iowa ## Dear Sirt In my capacity as Scientific Consultant to the Air Forces' Project Blue Book I am trying to get more details on the April 24, 1964 sighting at Socorro, New Mexico, made by Lt. Zamora. I would very much appreciate your help in obtaining the name and address of the individual referred to in the enclosed copy of Mr. Bieberman's letter who might also have witnessed this sighting. I wish to assure you that my interest in this matter is entirely professional and under no circumstances do I use this material for publicity purposes or for any other reason that to try to solve this puzzling phenomenon of unidentified flying objects. Sincerely yours, J. Allen Hynek Director JAN:1p enc1.
