UNIDENTIFIED FLYING GBJECT Lonnie alone. At this time heard « roar and saw o finme in the sky to the southwest some distance away--possibly a half mile or a mile. Came to mind that a dynamite shack in that area limi blown up. Decided to abandon the chase, and to check on the flame. The flame was biuish and sort of orange too. Could not tell size of flame. Sort of motioniess flame, slowly descending. Was still driving the police car and could not pay too mich attention to the finme. It was a narrow type of flame. It was like a “stream down"—— a funnel type--narrower at top than at bottom. Flame possibly three degrees or so in width—not wide. The flame was possibly a mile south of Socorro, in isolated area. The fleme about twice as wide at bottom as top, and about fow’ times as high as top was wide. Did not notice any object at top, did not note if top of flame was level. Sum was to weet and did not help vision. Had green sun glasses over proscription ginsres. / | Could not / / j ; ae see bottom of fieme because it was behind the hill. No emoke netod. Noted some “commotion” at botton-— dust? Possibly from windy day--wind was biowing hard. Clear sunny sky otherwise-—-just «a few clouds scattered over area.
