New Mexico State Police officer Lonnie Zamora reported observing a landed craft and two small humanoid figures while responding to a chase. Project Blue Book classified the case as 'unidentified'; Hynek considered it one of the strongest in the file. Upon noticing Zamora, the figures entered the craft, which took off with a loud roar and blue flame. Project Blue Book investigator J. Allen Hynek validated the physical traces (burned brush and landing gear indentations), making it one of the most credible cases in USAF files.
