“He served as a police officer and later at thAccording to reports published at the time, on Friday, April 25, 1964, at 5:45 p.m., 31-year-old police sergeant was in pursuit of a speeder on the south side of Socorro when he heard what sounded like an explosion west of Park Street.

Upon investigation, he saw a white, oval-shaped object resting on four legs in an arroyo emitting a roaring sound. He reported that next to the object were two short figures dressed in coveralls inspecting the object.

Zamora, thinking that an automobile accident had occurred, began approaching the scene until the roaring noise increased in pitch and volume, sending him running back to the road, in fear of it exploding.
