Ep.28 The Socorro Sighting

On April 24, 1964, in the dusty desert of Socorro, New Mexico, police officer Lonnie Zamora witnessed something that would shake UFO history. While pursuing a speeding car, he spotted a roaring, flame-spewing object in the sky, landing in a remote gully. Approaching, he saw a gleaming, egg-shaped craft and two small, humanoid figures nearby. Moments later, the craft blasted off, leaving scorched earth and physical evidence.
