This Project Blue Book file on the Socorro, New Mexico sighting, held by the Internet Archive, collects Air Force records and 1964 press clippings. It covers policeman Lonnie Zamora's April 24, 1964 report of an egg-shaped object with four legs, the scorched brush and ground depressions, and Dr. J. Allen Hynek's investigation. An Air Force summary says soil and brush analysis found no radiation or propellant and the case stayed open. Later New Mexico reports were judged known objects or hoaxes.

THE PRESIDENT told his news conference Saturday that his proposals would call for improved highways and communications. better flood control, better use of the region's coal, timber and land, and development of human resources. # Soviets Battle to Save Fabled Ancient Samarkand MOSCOW, April 27. Soviet engineers today expressed confidence of winning a "battle of nature" to save the fabled ancient city of Samarkind from a threatened flood by millions of tons of water. Waters of the Zeravshan River strained against a natural dam caused by a massive landslide in the central Asian region. Collapse of the 800-foot-high barrier would send the water down the valley across the ring cotton and grape area where 500,000 people live. MOSCOW RADIO said this morning, however, that engineers had nearly finished a "by-pass canal" around the dam, slowing the rise in pressure. Dynamite is being put in toplace and the charges will be detonated Wednesday, forcing the river into a new bed and allowing the accumulated water to run off harmlessly, the radio said. At that time, it said, "the danger of floods will be completely eliminated." REPORTS FROM the dam said the water had been rising 15 inches an hour and had formed a 100-foot deep lake in three days. But Moscow radio said this morning the rate of increase had SOVIET OFFICIALS hurriedly evacuated villagers near a bulging, earth slide-formed lake which threatened to flood an Uzbekistan valley and overflow into the legendary golden city of Samarkand (shaded area in UPI newsmap.). TASS, the Soviet news agency, said the quake cut nearby Darnvorz Mountain in two, dropping a mass of rock as high as an 80 story building into a nearby river. (UPI Telephoto.) Lynda's Engagement
