An FBI investigation report, dated May 8, 1964, details Special Agent D. Arthur Byrnes, Jr.'s inquiry into the Lonnie Zamora UAP incident in Socorro, New Mexico. It recounts Officer Zamora's April 24, 1964, eyewitness account of an oval-shaped object with a flame and roar, two small 'persons' near it, and subsequent physical landing traces. The report specifies findings of rectangular indentations, burned patches of grass, and circular marks at the site. It also notes Zamora's agitated state and corroborating observations by Sergeant M. S. Chavez.

Scientific validation axis from the AATIP framework. Checks whether the record references characteristics that would constitute evidence of anomalous technology.
Hovering or lift without conventional means
The object 'started going straight up--slowly up.' (Page 13); and 'seemed to rise up and take off immediately across country.' (Page 15) without apparent conventional propulsion.
Acceleration defying known physics
The object 'seemed startled--seemed to quickly jump somewhat.' (Page 14) and 'started to quickly jump somewhat' (Page 11) after the 'persons' near it looked at the witness's car.
High speed without expected physical effects
Evading or confounding sensor systems
Transitioning between air, water, or space
Physiological effects on witnesses or organisms
Officer Zamora was 'somewhat agitated over his experience.' (Page 2). Sergeant Chavez, upon arriving at the scene, observed that Zamora was 'sweating' and 'white, very pale.' (Page 16).
