Police officer Lonnie Zamora reported observing an egg-shaped craft and two small figures near Socorro, New Mexico before the object departed at high speed.
On April 24, 1964, Socorro police officer Lonnie Zamora was pursuing a speeding vehicle when he observed a loud roar and a flame in the distance. Investigating further, he reported seeing an unusual egg-shaped object resting on landing supports in a remote area along with two small humanoid figures nearby. Moments later, the object reportedly lifted off and departed. Investigators documented ground impressions, burned vegetation, and witness statements. The incident became one of Project Blue Book's most respected and difficult-to-explain cases.
