Socorro: A UFO Case from the Inside Out

A free program at Tredyffrin Public Library

Imagine that you are a police officer chasing a speeding car down the highway, when suddenly to the right, you glimpse a shiny object that looks like an overturned car. If you were Lonnie Zamora of Socorro, NM you careened off the highway, heading down a dirt road, then, tires spinning, attempted to scale a mound for a closer view of the object in the ravine.

Zamora witnessed an unbelievable sight: a landed UFO and two occupants standing next to it in broad daylight. His was a close encounter of the third kind. The date was April 24, 1964.
Guest experts on the History Channel's "Hangar 1" TV program Tony Angiola and Ben Moss, present new evidence on Socorro that the U S Air Force deemed "unknown" at Main Line Mutual UFO Network's meeting Tuesday, June 21 at Tredyffrin Public Library, Strafford, PA. for more information visit www.MainLineMUFON.com.

How did Moss and Angiola learn of this case? After all, the US Air Force, the CIA and the US Army had signed off on the case as “unknown.”Then Moss, Virginia's chief field investigator and rapid deployment Star Team (Strike Team Area Research) and Angiola, Virginia's assistant state director of discovered Ray Stanton, first investigator of the Socorro case. Author of The Socorro "Saucer," in a Pentagon Pantry. Stanton interviewed Zamora the witness, photographed and recovered a rock covered with a mysterious zinc amalloy not manufactured anywhere on earth. He relentlessly uncovered evidence via the Freedom of Information Act, official internal Air Force Blue Book files, “irradiated” confiscated film taken five minutes after the UFO craft disappeared, a clue to an exotic propulsion system, and files copied directly from the National Archives.

Now fifty years later, armed with a hundred hours of Stanton’s audio recollections, Moss and Angiola study radiation, electromagnetic fields, general physics, string theory, gravimeters, magnetometers, and use high resolution photography in re-examining the case.
