Lonnie Zamora Sighting

On April 24, 1964, Lonnie Zamora, a police officer in Socorro, New Mexico, reported seeing a landed UFO and two humanoid figures standing nearby. Zamora’s sighting is considered to be one of the most credible UFO sightings in history.

Zamora was responding to a report of a strange object in the sky when he saw a landed UFO in a field near the highway. The object was described as being “like aluminum—it was whitish against the mesa background, but not chrome”, and shaped like the letter “O”. Zamora claimed to have briefly observed two people in white coveralls beside the object, who he later described as “normal in shape—but possibly they were small adults or large kids.” Zamora claimed to hear a roar and see a blue and orange flame under the object which then rose and quickly moved away.

Zamora reported his sighting to his superiors, who immediately notified the Air Force. The Air Force investigated the sighting, but was unable to find any evidence of a UFO. However, the Air Force did not rule out the possibility that Zamora had seen something unusual.

The Lonnie Zamora sighting is one of the most well-documented UFO sightings in history. Zamora’s story has been corroborated by other witnesses, and there is no evidence to suggest that he was lying or that he had seen something that could be explained by natural phenomena or human-made objects.
