ZAMORA-LIKE OBJECT SEEN

y was witness to an ellipsoidal object
similar in description to the one observed
by Socorro policeman, Lonnie Zamora, in
the vicinity of his father's home nòrth of
La Madera.
While occupied in the activity of
chasing away stray horses, he noted an un

The UFO was gone, though the
ground was still smoldering! Local
police were notified, and found a
large charred area, strange marks
in the ground resembling paw
prints, and dopressions similar to
those found at So ro. As a mat-
ter of fact, reliably re-
ported that the ground was still
smoldering twenty hours after the
sighting! The charred area, seen
by police, Air Force officials,
and many other people, was about 20 feet in diameter. Large rocks within the
area showed evidence of extreme heat, while others a few feet away were not
damaged at all. Even pieces of glass and metal were found melted and fused. A
police officer ventured the opinion that no fuel l presently known to mankind
would leave the sort of traces found at La Madera. He also felt that the evi-
dence indicated an extreme heat of short duration. Wo do not yet know what
conclusions, if any, were formulated by the Air Force.

THE SECOND NEW MEXICO LANDING: Another sensational saucer landing
occurred near the town of La Madera, New Mexico, within hours of the Socorro
incident. At about 12:30 a.m., Orlando Gallegos, who was visiting his father's
home there, went outside to chase away some horses. Itwas then that he saw a
strange craft of some sort sitting on the . in a gravel area. He was
about 200 feet from it, and was afraid to get ny closer. When Gallegos first
sighted the UFo, there was a ring of blue flame erupting from numerous jets
around the bottom of the craft. He heard no noise, and as he watched, the
"TNT flames were turned off. Gallegos did not see anyone or anything moving around
outside the UFO.
He returned to his father's house and told the family about the
incidont, but apparently they were all too frightened to go outside to take a
look. Gallegos' wife later described him as looking "badly shaken." He return-
ed twice more, alone, to gaze in amazement at the object. He said that it was
