We begin a look at some historic UFO cases with Martin Kootmeyer’s reconstruction of the probable height/size of the two Socorro “craftspeople.” Be sure to read the Comments to this rumination, as well. Kevin Randle turns his Different Perspective on what some regard as the best Unknown case in Lewis Chase and the RB-47. Kevin’s […]

Kevin Randle sets the record straight, from his “Different Perspective,” on the symbol that Lonnie Zamora really saw on the side of the Socorro craft. In the process Kevin accidentally invents a new name for Carmon Marano, and does anyone else see a “Tic Tac” in the drawing made by Rick Baca at Zamora’s instance? […]

Kevin Randle tries to kill yet one more proposed identification for the symbol Lonnie Zamora reported seeing on the side of the egg-shaped contraption that then almost immediately took off into UFO history. In Socorro Symbol Redux Kevin, responding to a Comment by Ben Moss to Kevin’s prior post, outlines as he sees it the […]

Even (or perhaps especially) UFO historians from time to time get overwhelmed by the amount of history, much of it spurious, that accrues around certain cases. Kevin Randle has finally–at least until next time–put a stake into the heart of the Socorro “Barrel Experiment” as the cause of the April 24, 1964 Lonnie Zamora CEIII. […]

Kevin Randle provides more information on the barrel explanation for the Socorro sighting, which we mentioned in a post on the 25rd. And although he finds this theory interesting and slightly disturbing, “It just doesn’t fit in with what we really know based on the interviews conducted on the night of the sighting. It doesn’t […]

Here is some “new information” about an “old event.” A story told by a mother and son has newly surfaced about the genesis of the April 24, 1964, Socorro UFO. It’s a rather second-hand story but interesting nonetheless–and it provides a mundane if at the same time exotic identification for what Officer Lonnie Zamora saw. […]

Like Roswell, the Lonnie Zamora sighting just keeps popping up. Kevin Randle wonders whether a similarity between something on a mysterious document “flashed” during a tv program and the symbol on the Socorro craft is mere coincidence or something more significant. We’d maybe vote “coincidence,” but Kevin has reached out to his readership this way […]

John Rimmer has put forth a reasonable and generally positive review of Kevin Randle’s latest book Encounter in the Desert: The Case for Alien Contact at Socorro. After making the almost-by-now obligatory observation that the book’s subtitle really is a bit goofy, Rimmer does a generally good, though skeptical, job of discussing the case and […]

Rich Reynolds thinks that recent works by Kevin Randle, Kevin again, and Bruce Maccabee have pretty much exhausted both him and the available information on those iconic cases. He pleads that we lay them to rest, while noting that the cases really remain unexplained, probably answering his own rhetorical question. With UFO Secrets in Rubbermaid […]

Kevin Randle is having a hard time letting go of the Socorro, New Mexico, Lonnie Zamora CEIII case. Kevin thinks he’s succeeded in following one “loose end” to its conclusion. The still-missing fifth page referenced in the title, Kevin believes, contained an illustration of the craft that was signed by Officer Zamora. The decoration prominent […]
