# Unusual Marks Found
The man in the street was mystified and the military and other authorities were "investigating" today following reports of the landing of an unidentified flying object at the outskirts of Socorro Friday afternoon and the sighting of two strange persons who left odd, pug-shaped marks instead of footprints.
Socorro City Officer Lonnie Zamora told of seeing the egg-shaped vehicle, roughly the size of an automobile, after he had noted a flash in the southwest sky about 5 p.m. Friday while on routine patrol.
He said he drove to the area, where he got within about 100 feet of the strange craft, saw two 'men' adjacent to it wearing white suits, who jumped in and roared away when they noticed Zamora.
vez, formerly stationed at Tolarosa, was summoned to the scene by Zamora via radio and said he arrived at the site within three minutes after receiving the call. He said dry grass at the obvious point of landing still was smouldering, apparently from a jet-like blast on takeoff, and that mesquite bushes in the vicinity were singed.
Craft Zoomed Away
Zamora said the craft headed due west at an altitude of about 20 feet for nearly a mile, then increased speed rapidly and vanished straight up.
Spokesmen for military installations in the area said they could account for no unusual manifestation from any testing going on at their bases, but said the reports were being investigated.
A party from Stallion Site on White Sands Missile Range visited the landing site Saturday morning, took soil samples, and submitted a report to higher authorities.
The Holloman UFO officer said he had made a report on the sighting to higher echelons, but neither White Sands nor Holloman would comment other than to state that obvious physical evidence at the site indicated some unusual occurrence.
Area Sighting Of Flash
A report to State, Police here Saturday at 10 a.m. by a motorist on Highway 70 said a "bright object" had been seen to go down in the vicinity of Round Mountain east of Tularosa, but no particular search of the area was made. It was not known if the occurrence here.
