Who was Lonnie Zamora incident?
The Lonnie Zamora incident is a claimed close encounter of the third kind which occurred on Friday, April 24, 1964, on the southern outskirts of Socorro, New Mexico. Several primary witnesses emerged to report stages and aspects of the event, which included the craft's approach, din and conspicuous flame. It was however Zamora, a New Mexico police officer who was on duty at the time, who supplied the most comprehensive account. Some traces ascribed to the event were subsequently observed and submitted to analysis.
The event and its body of evidence is sometimes deemed one of the best documented, yet most perplexing UFO reports. It was immediately investigated by the U.S. Air Force and received considerable coverage in the mass media. It was one of the cases that helped persuade astronomer J. Allen Hynek, one of the primary investigators for the Air Force, that some UFO reports represented an intriguing mystery.
