為什麼 Zamora 案會被 FBI 列入主案卷

Lonnie Zamora 案件 1964-04-24 發生在 New Mexico 州 Socorro 鎮西南約 1 英里處，是美國 1947 以來最被 UFO 研究界引述的個案之一。Project Blue Book 顧問 J. Allen Hynek 親自到現場調查，正式結論列為「Unknown」（未識別），是 Blue Book 歷史上少數沒有給出常規解釋的案件。1965 年 Air Force 給國會的聲明承認 Zamora 案是「best-documented UFO sighting on record」之一。

這份 FBI Serial 438 卷宗的特殊處：FBI 駐 Albuquerque 特派員 D. Arthur Byrnes Jr. 1964-04-24 下午剛好在 Socorro 州警察局辦事，傍晚 5:50 Zamora 通報後，Byrnes 是除 New Mexico 州警 Chavez 中士外最早到達現場的聯邦官員。他親自查驗 4 個矩形壓痕、燒焦草叢、圓形凹痕，並把 Zamora 完整口述以打字機謄錄成 10 頁正式文件。1964-05-08 由 Albuquerque 辦事處用 FBI Director 抬頭寄到 Hoover 桌上，編進 62-HQ-83894 主案卷 Serial 438。

對比 Serial 164 是 FBI 收到的「空軍規範文件副本」（被動歸檔）、Serial 220 是「民眾自薦發明信件」（被動歸檔），Serial 438 是 1947 年 Hoover 退出 UFO 主動調查後，FBI 仍親自到現場、親自查驗、親自記錄物證的少數案例。原因不是 FBI 政策改變，而是 Byrnes 「碰巧」在 Socorro 辦事，距離事發地最近。

§2 Byrnes 1964-05-08 備忘錄首頁：Zamora 通報

第二頁是 FBI Albuquerque 辦事處的官方備忘錄首頁，使用標準 FBI U.S. Department of Justice / Federal Bureau of Investigation 抬頭，紅色「In Reply, Please Refer to File No.」。Subject 行：「UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT / SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO / APRIL 24, 1964」。底部紅色框註「This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of any kind. It is the property of the FBI, and is a loan to your agency; it and/or its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.」

備忘錄第一段：

Special Agent D. Arthur Byrnes, Jr., Federal Bureau of Investigation, stationed at Albuquerque, New Mexico, was at Socorro, New Mexico, and at the State Police Office there on business late afternoon of April 24, 1964.

At approximately 5:45 to 5:50 P. M., Nep Lopez, radio operator in the Socorro County Sheriff's Office, located about thirty feet down the hall from the State Police Office, came into the State Police Office.

Mr. Lopez advised M. S. Chavez, New Mexico State Police, that he had just received a radio call from Officer Lonnie Zamora to come to an area about one mile southwest of Socorro. The call was in relation to some unknown object which "landed and has taken off." Agent Byrnes finished his work in the State Police Office at Socorro at approximately 6:00 P. M., April 24, 1964, and thereafter proceeded to the site where Officer Zamora, Socorro County Undersheriff Jim Luckie, Sergeant M. S. Chavez, and Officer Ted Jordan, New Mexico State Police, were assembled.

駐 Albuquerque 特派員 D. Arthur Byrnes Jr. 1964-04-24 下午晚間在 Socorro 州警察局公幹。下午 5:45~5:50，Socorro 郡警長辦公室無線電員 Nep Lopez 從同一棟樓走廊另一頭走進州警辦公室，告訴州警 M. S. Chavez 中士：剛收到 Zamora 警官的無線電通話，要去 Socorro 西南約 1 英里處查看「著陸後又起飛」的不明物體。Byrnes 18:00 結束公務後到現場，當時 Zamora、Socorro 郡副警長 Jim Luckie、Chavez 中士、州警 Ted Jordan 都已就位。

備忘錄繼續評估 Zamora 本人：

It may be noted that it has been the observation of Agent Byrnes that Officer Zamora, known intimately for approximately five years, is well regarded as a sober, industrious, and conscientious officer and not given to fantasy.

Officer Zamora was noted to be perfectly sober and somewhat agitated over his experience.

Byrnes 觀察：他認識 Zamora 警官約 5 年，公認穩重、勤奮、謹慎，不會幻想。當天 Zamora 完全清醒，但對自己經歷的事件略顯緊張。

這段「sober, industrious, conscientious, not given to fantasy」的人物評語直接寫進 FBI 文件，是 Byrnes 替 Zamora 做的可信度背書。Zamora 後來被空軍 Blue Book、UFO 研究者 NICAP、APRO 反覆訪問，描述始終一致，使本案成為 1960 年代少數能跨越調查者立場（Air Force / FBI / 民間 UFO 組織）都接受其物證可信的個案。

§2.1 4 個矩形壓痕

備忘錄第二段，Byrnes 描述他親眼看到的物證：

Special Agent Byrnes noted four indentations in the rough ground at the "site" of the object described

Byrnes 特派員觀察到，被描述為「物體」位置的粗糙地面上有四個壓痕。

§3 備忘錄第 2 頁：4 個矩形壓痕 + 3 處燒焦 + 3 個圓形凹痕

第三頁是備忘錄第 2 頁，繼續物證描述：

by Officer Zamora. These depressions appeared regular in shape, approximately sixteen by six inches rectangular. Each depression seemed to have been made by an object going into the earth at an angle from a center line. Each depression was approximately two inches deep and pushed some earth to the far side.

Inside the four depressions were three burned patches of clumps of grass. Other clumps of grass in the same area appeared not to be disturbed. One burned area was outside the four depressions.

There were three circular marks in the earth which were smooth, approximately four inches in diameter and penetrated in the sandy earth approximately one-eighth of an inch as if a jar lid had gently been pushed into the sand.

No other person was noted in the area the night of April 24, 1964. No other objects were noted in the area possibly connected with the incident related by Officer Zamora.

So far as could be noted, there were no houses or inhabited dwellings in the area or in sight of the area.

Zamora 警官指出的壓痕形狀規則，約 16 英寸 × 6 英寸長方形。每個壓痕看起來像物體從中心線斜插入地面所造成的。每個壓痕深約 2 英寸，把土壤推到另一側。 四個壓痕內部有三處草叢燒焦。同區其他草叢沒有被擾動。另有一處燒焦區域在四個壓痕之外。 地面上還有三個圓形痕跡，平滑、直徑約 4 英寸，在沙質地面陷入約 1/8 英寸，像有人輕輕把罐子蓋放進沙地的痕跡。 1964-04-24 晚上現場沒看到其他人。沒看到其他可能與 Zamora 描述的事件有關的物體。 就所見範圍，現場與視線可及範圍內沒有住宅。

四個矩形壓痕（16″×6″，深 2″，「從中心線斜插入」的角度）後來被理論為四隻著陸支架（landing pad）按下的痕跡。三處燒焦草叢 + 一處外部燒焦對應 Zamora 描述的「藍橘色火焰從物體下方噴出」。三個 4″ 圓形凹痕成因不明，UFO 研究界推論為輔助觀察設備或工具。

頁底紅色「property of the FBI」框與 page-02 相同。

§4 Byrnes 備忘錄第二份碳印副本（page-04 / 05 / 06 / 07）

第四頁是 §2 的第二份碳印副本（carbon copy），紙質灰、字跡較淡，但內容完全相同。FBI 1960 年代正式打字機作業流程：原稿 + 兩份碳印副本 + 兩份藍色副本，分別歸 Albuquerque 辦事處、Bureau HQ、Project Blue Book、SAC（Special Agent in Charge）等不同檔案。Serial 438 收齊了所有副本，2026 數位化時整批掃描，這就是同一份文件出現 3 套的原因。

第五頁是 §3 的第二份碳印副本，內容與 page-03 相同。第六、七頁是 §2、§3 的第三份碳印副本，內容相同。

§5 Zamora 完整口述：第 1 頁 ─ 4 月 24 日下午 5:45 追車路線

第八頁是另一份備忘錄首頁（同 Byrnes 抬頭，但實際是 Zamora 口述謄錄的 10 頁文件）。標題仍是「UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT / SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO / APRIL 24, 1964」，但內文是 Zamora 第一人稱口述：

The following data were obtained from Officer Lonnie Zamora, Police Department, Socorro, New Mexico, the night of April 24, 1964, and early morning, April 25, 1964, as related by Officer Zamora.

Lonnie Zamora, 606 Reservoir Street, Socorro, New Mexico, 835-1134, Officer Socorro Police Department about five years, office phone 835-0941, now on 2:00 P. M. to 10:00 P. M. shift.

About 5:45 P. M., April 24, 1964, while in Socorro 2 Police Car (1964 Pontiac white) started to chase a car due south from west side of Courthouse. Car was apparently speeding, and was about three blocks in front. At point on Old Rodeo Street, (extension of Park Street south), near George Morillo residence (about one-half mile south of Spring Street). The chased car was going straight ahead toward rodeo grounds. Car chased was a new black Chevrolet, (it might have been Floyd Reynolds' boy, Vivian, about 17). Chased car still about three blocks ahead.

Zamora 自述住址 Socorro 市 Reservoir 街 606 號，警員 5 年，當天班次 14:00~22:00。1964-04-24 下午 5:45，駕駛 Socorro 2 號警車（1964 年款白色 Pontiac），從法院西側往南追一輛超速的新款黑色 Chevrolet（可能是 Floyd Reynolds 家 17 歲的男孩 Vivian），陳述追車路線到 Old Rodeo Street、George Morillo 宅、Spring Street 以南半英里處。

陳述用詳細的街道地址與本地名字，反映 FBI 訪談員 Byrnes 與 Zamora 認識彼此（5 年）的訪談動線。

§6 Zamora 口述第 2 頁：放棄追車，往火焰方向

第九頁是 Zamora 口述第 2 頁，描述聽到轟鳴聲後放棄追車：

Lonnie alone.

At this time heard a roar and saw a flame 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 had blown up. Decided to abandon the chase, and to check on the flame. The flame was bluish and sort of orange too. Could not tell size of flame. Sort of motionless flame, slowly descending. Was still driving the police car and could not pay too much attention to the flame. 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 flame about twice as wide at bottom as top, and about four times as high as top was wide. Did not notice any object at top, did not note if top of flame was level. Sun was to west and did not help vision. Had green sun glasses over prescription glasses. Could not see bottom of flame because it was behind the hill.

No smoke noted. Noted some "commotion" at bottom ─ dust? Possibly from windy day ─ wind was blowing hard. Clear sunny sky otherwise ─ just a few clouds scattered over area.

Zamora 獨自一人在警車內。聽到轟鳴聲並看到西南方天空遠處（約半英里到一英里）有火焰。想到那區的炸藥倉庫可能爆炸。決定放棄追車、改去查看火焰。火焰偏藍也偏橘。無法分辨大小。火焰幾乎不動、緩緩下降。仍在開警車，無法多注意火焰。火焰是窄型的「向下流瀉」漏斗狀，頂部比底部窄，寬度約 3 度視角，不寬。火焰可能在 Socorro 以南 1 英里的偏遠地區。 火焰底部寬度約頂部 2 倍，高度約頂部寬度的 4 倍。沒注意到頂端有物體，沒注意頂端是否水平。太陽在西邊，視覺不利。戴了綠色太陽眼鏡套在處方眼鏡外。看不見火焰底端，被山擋住。 沒看到煙。底部有「擾動」（揚塵？）。可能是大風揚塵。其餘天空晴朗，只有少數雲。

「sort of motionless flame, slowly descending」+ 「narrower at top than at bottom」是飛行物體推進系統觀察的細節。漏斗狀火焰下降是典型推進中氣流加速噴出的視覺特徵。Zamora 戴雙重眼鏡（綠太陽鏡 + 處方鏡）這個細節被 FBI 寫進記錄，是視覺可信度的訪談標準。

§7 Zamora 口述第 3 頁：上山接近現場

第十頁是 Zamora 口述第 3 頁：

Noise was a roar, not a blast. Not like a jet. Changed from high frequency to low frequency and then stopped. Roar lasted possibly ten seconds ─ was going towards it at that time on the rough gravel road. Saw flame about as long as heard the sound. Flame same color as best as recall. Sound distinctly from high to low until it disappeared. Both car windows were down. No other spectators noted ─ no traffic except the car in front ─ and car in front might have heard it but possibly did not see it because car in front was too close to hill in front, to see the flame.

聲音是低吼，不是爆炸。不像噴射機。從高頻變低頻然後停止。低吼持續約 10 秒，當時 Zamora 在崎嶇砂石路上開向現場。聲音持續時間跟看到火焰時間差不多。聲音明顯從高頻變低頻才消失。兩側車窗都開著。沒看到其他目擊者，前車除外。前車可能聽到但可能沒看到（因前車離山太近無法看到火焰）。

After the roar and flame, did not note anything, while going up the somewhat steep rough hill toward the flame site. Got up about half way first time, wheels started skidding, roar still going on, had to back down and try twice again before made the hill. Hill about sixty feet long, fairly steep and with loose gravel and rock. While beginning third time, noise and flame not noted.

After got to top, traveled slowly on the gravel road westwardly. Noted nothing for awhile, for possibly ten or fifteen seconds, went slow, looking around for the dynamite shack ─ did not recall exactly where the dynamite shack was.

看到火焰跟低吼後，往火焰地點開上陡峭崎嶇的山丘時就沒注意到其他事。第一次上到一半，輪子打滑、低吼還在持續，得倒車重試。山丘長約 60 英尺、相當陡峭、有鬆散砂石。第三次上山時，聲音與火焰已停。 上到頂後，沿砂石路向西緩慢前進。10~15 秒內沒看到什麼，慢慢開、找炸藥倉庫，不記得倉庫確切位置。

「車輪打滑」「上山三次才上去」的細節跟「車內前進」相印證，是 Zamora 重建到達時間軸的關鍵描述。1964 年事後 J. Allen Hynek 重訪現場、實地測量山坡角度與長度，跟 Zamora 描述吻合。

§8 Zamora 口述第 4 頁：看到物體 + 兩個白衣人員

第十一頁是 Zamora 口述第 4 頁，最關鍵的第一視覺接觸：

Suddenly noted a shiny type object to south about 150 to 200 yards. It was off the road. At first glance, stopped. It looked, at first, like a car turned upside down. Thought some kids might have turned over. Saw two people in white coveralls very close to the object. One of these persons seemed to turn and look straight at my car and seemed startled ─ seemed to quickly jump somewhat.

突然在南方 150~200 碼處看到一個亮閃閃的物體。在道路外。第一眼停下。乍看像一台翻倒的車。以為有小孩翻車。看到兩個穿白色連身衣的人非常靠近物體。其中一人似乎轉身直視我的警車，看起來吃驚，似乎快速跳動了一下。

When I first saw the object, (when I thought it might be a car), I saw what appeared to be two legs of some type from the object to the ground. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to what it was ─ I thought it was an accident ─ I saw the two persons. I didn't pay attention to the two "legs?". The two "legs" were at the bottom of the object, slanted outwards to the ground. The object might have been about three and a half feet from the ground at that time. I just glanced at it.

At this time I started moving my car towards them quickly, with idea to help. Had stopped about only a couple seconds. Object was like aluminum ─ it was whitish against the mesa background, but not chrome. Seemed like 🥚 in shape and I at first glance took it to be an overturned white car. Car appeared turned up like standing

第一眼看到物體時（以為是車），看到物體下方到地面有某種「兩條腿」。當時沒留意是什麼，以為是車禍。沒注意那兩條「腿」。兩條腿在物體底部，斜向地面外側。當時物體距地面可能約 3.5 英尺。只是匆匆一瞥。 此時 Zamora 開始把車快速駛向他們，想去幫忙。原本只停了幾秒。物體是鋁色 ─ 在 mesa 背景下是白色，但不是鉻色。形狀像蛋（page-11 此處有手繪橢圓形圖形），第一眼以為是翻倒的白色車。車看起來像直立起來。

「白色連身衣兩人 + 蛋形鋁色物體 + 兩條腿狀著陸支架」這三個細節組合是 Zamora 案最被頻繁討論的特徵。「兩條腿」對應 §3 描述的四個矩形壓痕物證。物體高度「離地約 3.5 英尺」與壓痕深度 2 英寸幾何上相容。

Zamora 寫信件文字時手繪蛋形圖（page-11 文末橢圓圖形）作為形狀補充，這個視覺輔助手寫圖也保留在 FBI 文件中。

§9 Zamora 口述第 5 頁：通報無線電 + 兩三聲「thump」

第十二頁是 Zamora 口述第 5 頁：

on radiator or on trunk, at this first glance.

The only time I saw these two persons was when I had stopped, for possibly two seconds or so, to glance at the object. I don't recall noting any particular shape or possibly any hats or headgear. These persons appeared normal in shape ─ but possibly they were small adults or large kids.

第一眼看以為車翻倒、引擎蓋或車尾朝上。 看到那兩個人只有當時停車約 2 秒、瞥一眼物體的瞬間。不記得有沒有特別形狀或帽子頭套。這兩人外型看起來正常，但可能是小型成人或大型兒童。

「small adults or large kids」是 Zamora 對人員身材的唯一描述。距離 150-200 碼遠 + 戴雙重眼鏡 + 太陽逆光，Zamora 沒能更精確估計身高。後來 UFO 研究界對「兩位人員」身分有多種推論（外星訪客、隱形飛機試飛員、月球登陸器測試員等），但 Zamora 本人從未做超出此描述的證述。

Then paid attention to road while drove towards scene. Radioed to sheriff's office, "Socorro 2 to Socorro, possible 10-44 (accident); I'll be 10-6 (busy) out of the car checking the car down in the arroyo."

Stopped car, was still talking on radio, started to get out, mike fell down, reached back to put up mike, then replaced radio mike in slot, got out of car and turned to go down to where knew the object (car) was.

As my mike fell, I got out of car, at scene area, I heard about two or three loud "thumps," like someone possibly hammering or shutting a door or doors hard. These "thumps" were possibly a second or less apart. This was just before the roar. The persons were not seen when I got up to the scene area.

然後注意路面、把車開到現場。無線電給警長辦公室：「Socorro 2 呼叫 Socorro，可能 10-44（事故），10-6（busy）下車檢查 arroyo 裡的車。」 停車後、還在通話時開始下車，麥克風掉了，伸手把麥克風放回插槽。下車轉身要下到知道物體（車）位置時。 麥克風掉下來時，Zamora 已下車到現場區，聽到約 2 或 3 聲響亮的「砰砰」聲，像有人在敲擊或大力關門。「砰砰」聲間隔可能不到 1 秒。這發生在低吼聲之前。Zamora 上到現場區時兩人不見了。

「10-44」「10-6」是警用 10 代碼（10-44 = 事故、10-6 = 忙線中）。Zamora 當時把不明物體當成翻車意外處理。「兩三聲砰砰、像關門」這個細節是 Zamora 案唯一聲學物證，跟「物體裡有人員、正在關艙門準備起飛」的解讀相容。

§10 Zamora 口述第 6 頁：起飛瞬間 + 紅色標記

第十三頁是 Zamora 口述第 6 頁，物體起飛瞬間：

Hardly turned around from car when heard roar, (was not exactly a blast), very loud roar ─ at that close was real loud. Not like a jet ─ knows what jets sound like. Started low frequency quickly, then roar rose in frequency (higher tone) and in loudness ─ from loud to very loud. At same time as roar saw flame. Flame was under the object. Object was starting to go straight up ─ slowly up. Object slowly rose straight up. Flame was light blue and at bottom was sort of orange color. From this angle, saw what might be the side of object (not end, as first noted). Difficult to describe flame. Thought, from roar, it might blow up. Flame might have come from underside of object, at middle, possibly a four feet area ─ very rough guess. Can not describe flame further except blue and orange. No smoke, except dust in immediate area.

Zamora 從車邊轉身還沒走完，就聽到低吼（不完全是爆炸），非常大聲，近距離很響。不像噴射機 ─ 他知道噴射機聲音。一開始是低頻並快速變化，然後低吼升高頻（音調變高）+ 變更大聲。同時看到火焰。火焰在物體下方。物體開始直直向上 ─ 緩慢上升。物體緩緩直直升起。火焰是淺藍，底部是橘色。從這角度看到的可能是物體側面（不是底部，跟第一眼判斷不同）。難形容火焰。從聲音判斷可能爆炸。火焰可能從物體底面中部噴出，約 4 英尺面積（粗估）。火焰除了藍橘無法更多描述。沒有煙，僅近處揚塵。

As soon as saw flame and heard roar, turned away, ran away from object but did turn head several times towards object. Bumped leg on car ─ back fender area. Car facing southwest. Glasses fell to ground, left them there. Ran to north ─ car between him and object.

一看到火焰、聽到吼聲就轉身跑離物體，但有幾次回頭看物體。腿撞到警車後擋泥板區。警車面朝西南。眼鏡掉了，沒撿。往北跑，把車擋在自己跟物體之間。

Object was 🥚 in shape. It was smooth ─ no windows or doors. As roar started, it was still on or near ground. Noted red lettering of some type, like 🅰️.

物體是蛋形（手繪橢圓）。表面光滑，沒有窗戶或門。低吼開始時物體還在地面上或接近地面。注意到紅色字母標記，像是「(A)」（手繪一個小圈內加 A）。

「紅色字母標記，像 (A)」這個視覺細節後來成為案件核心：Zamora 觀察到的標記不像任何已知美國軍方或實驗飛行器標記。Hynek 1964 訪談時請 Zamora 繪製這個標記，繪出來的形狀更像倒立的拋物線 / 三角箭頭，加上一條水平線。Air Force 1965 把這個標記列為「機密」（classified），1966 Condon Report 與 Project Blue Book 文件中此標記被遮蔽。Zamora 在 FBI 卷宗中手繪的版本是 (A)（一個 A 加圓圈）。

§11 Zamora 口述第 7 頁：物體上升 + 蹲下躲藏

第十四頁是 Zamora 口述第 7 頁：

Insignia was about two and one-half feet high and about two feet wide, guess. Was in middle of object, like 🅰️. Object still like aluminum-white.

標記約 2.5 英尺高、2 英尺寬（猜測）。位於物體中部，像「(A)」。物體仍是鋁白色。

After fell by car and glasses fell off, kept running to north with car between me and object. Glanced back a couple of times. Noted object to rise to about level of car, about twenty to twenty-five feet, guess ─ took I guess about six seconds when object started to rise and I glanced back. I ran I guess about half way to where I ducked down ─ about fifty feet from the car is where I ducked down, just over edge of hill. I guess I had run about twenty-five feet when I glanced back and saw the object about level with the car and it appeared about directly over the place where it rose from.

撞到車旁、眼鏡掉了之後，繼續往北跑，把車擋在自己跟物體之間。回頭幾次。注意到物體上升到車輛高度，約 20-25 英尺（猜測）。從物體開始上升到他回頭看，約 6 秒。他跑到躲下處的一半路（距車約 50 英尺，剛過山坡邊緣）。跑了約 25 英尺時回頭看，物體跟車輛高度差不多，似乎就在原起飛位置正上方。

I was still running and I jumped just over the hill ─ I stopped because I did not hear the roar. I was scared of the roar, and I had planned to continue running down the hill. I turned around toward the object and at same time put my head towards ground, covering my face with my arms. Being that there was no roar, I looked up, and I saw the object going away from me, in a southwest direction. When the roar stopped, heard a sharp tone whine from high tone to low tone. At end of roar was this whine and the

Zamora 仍在跑、跳過山坡 ─ 停下因為沒聽到吼聲。他害怕吼聲、原計畫繼續往山下跑。轉身朝物體，同時把頭朝地、雙臂掩面。因為沒有吼聲，他抬頭看，看到物體往西南方向遠去。吼聲停時，聽到從高音到低音的尖銳鳴聲。吼聲結束時是這個尖銳鳴聲。

「掩面 + 蹲下」是 Zamora 預期火焰可能爆炸的本能反應。FBI 訪談員 Byrnes 把這些身體動作細節都打字記錄下來。

§12 Zamora 口述第 8 頁：物體越過炸藥倉庫飛遠

第十五頁是 Zamora 口述第 8 頁：

whine lasted maybe a second. Then there was complete silence about the object. That's when I lifted up my head and saw the object going away from me. It did not come any closer to me. It appeared to go in a straight line and at same height ─ possibly ten to fifteen feet from ground, and it cleared the dynamite shack by about three feet. Shack about eight feet high. Object was traveling very fast. It seemed to rise up and take off immediately across country. I ran back to my car and as I ran back, I kept an eye on the object. I picked up my glasses, (I left the sunglasses on the ground), got into the car, and radioed to Nep Lopez, radio operator, to "look out the window, to see if you could see an object." He asked, "What is it?" I answered, "It looks like a balloon." I don't know if he saw it. If Nep looked out his window, which faces north, he couldn't have seen it. I did not tell him at the moment which window to look out of.

尖銳鳴聲持續約 1 秒。然後物體完全沒聲音。那時 Zamora 抬頭看，物體正遠離他。物體沒靠近過來。看似直線飛行、同高度約 10-15 英尺離地，越過炸藥倉庫上方約 3 英尺。倉庫高約 8 英尺。物體飛行很快。看起來像升起後立即飛越鄉野。Zamora 跑回車，邊跑邊盯著物體。撿起處方眼鏡（太陽眼鏡留在地上沒撿），上車後無線電呼 Nep Lopez 無線電員：「往窗外看，看你能不能看到一個物體。」Lopez 問：「什麼東西？」Zamora 答：「看起來像個氣球。」不知 Lopez 有沒有看到。如果 Lopez 朝面北的窗戶看，是看不到的。當時 Zamora 沒說要看哪個窗戶。

「越過炸藥倉庫 3 英尺」這個高度估算是 Hynek 1964-04 後續測量現場時驗證的關鍵地標。倉庫實高約 8 英尺，物體越過上方 3 英尺 ≈ 飛行高度 11 英尺，跟 Zamora 「10-15 英尺」描述吻合。

As I was calling Nep, I could still see the object. The object seemed to lift up slowly, and to "get small" in the distance very fast. It seemed to just clear the Box Canyon or Six Mile Canyon Mountain. It disappeared as it

呼叫 Lopez 時還能看到物體。物體似乎緩慢上升，並在遠處快速「變小」。看似剛好越過 Box Canyon 或 Six Mile Canyon 山頂。物體消失在它

「飛越 Box Canyon / Six Mile Canyon Mountain」是 Socorro 西南方地形地標。物體從近處（150 碼）緩慢上升 → 遠處快速變小 → 越過山脈消失，是 Zamora 觀察到的完整起飛軌跡。

§13 Zamora 口述第 9 頁：Chavez 中士抵達 + 燒焦草叢

第十六頁是 Zamora 口述第 9 頁：

went over the mountain. It had no flame whatsoever as it was traveling over the ground, and no smoke or noise.

Can't tell how long saw object second time (the "close" time), possibly twenty seconds ─ just a guess ─ from time got out of car, glanced at object, ran from object, jumped over edge of hill, then got back to car and radioed as object disappeared.

Just before Sergeant Chavez got to scene, I got my pen and drew a picture of the insignia on the object.

Feeling in good health. Last drink ─ two or three beers ─ was over a month ago. Noted no odors. Noted no sounds other than described. Gave directions to Nep Lopez at radio and to Sergeant M. S. Chavez to get there. Went down to where the object had been and I noted the brush was burning in several places. At that time, I heard Sergeant Chaves, (New Mexico State Police at Socorro), calling me on radio for my location, and I returned to my car, told him he was "looking at me." Then Sergeant Chavez came up, asked me what the trouble was, because I was sweating and he told me I was white, very pale. I asked the Sergeant to see what I saw, and that was the burning brush. Then

物體越過山頂消失。物體飛越地面時完全沒有火焰、也沒有煙或聲音。 無法判斷物體第二次（「靠近」階段）看到的時間有多長，猜測約 20 秒 ─ 從下車、瞥物體、跑離物體、跳過山坡邊緣、跑回車、無線電通報到物體消失。 Chavez 中士抵達現場前，Zamora 拿出筆畫了物體上標記的草圖。 健康狀況良好。最後一次喝酒 ─ 2 或 3 罐啤酒 ─ 是一個多月前。沒注意到氣味。除已描述的之外沒注意到其他聲音。把方向告訴 Lopez 與 Chavez 中士。Zamora 下到物體原位置，注意到草叢在好幾處燒著。此時聽到 Chavez 中士無線電呼叫他位置，Zamora 回車告訴 Chavez「他正在看著我」。Chavez 中士走上來，問 Zamora 怎麼了，因為 Zamora 在冒汗，Chavez 說他臉色發白、很蒼白。Zamora 請 Chavez 看他看到的東西，就是燃燒的草叢。然後

「Last drink ─ two or three beers ─ over a month ago」這句被 FBI 寫進記錄，是 Byrnes 主動詢問「是否飲酒」的標準訪談程序。Zamora 一個多月沒喝酒，與 page-02 「perfectly sober」評語相互印證。

「Chavez 說 Zamora 蒼白冒汗」這個第三人證述，加上 Byrnes 親自查驗的物證，是本案被 Hynek、Blue Book 認可為「unknown」的關鍵。

§14 Zamora 口述第 10 頁（最後一頁）：Chavez 指出痕跡

第十七頁是 Zamora 口述第 10 頁，整份口述結尾：

Sergeant Chavez and I went to the spot, and Sergeant Chavez pointed out the tracks.

Chavez 中士跟 Zamora 一起到那個地點，Chavez 中士指出痕跡。

最後一頁只有兩行。整份 Zamora 口述以「Chavez 中士指出痕跡」結尾，意味現場物證從 Chavez 視角再次確認。Chavez 中士是第一個到達的州警察員，他獨立看到的痕跡跟 Zamora 描述的位置一致。

§15 Zamora 口述第二份碳印副本（page-18 ~ 27）

第十八到二十頁是 §5-§7（Zamora 口述第 1-3 頁）的第二份碳印副本。內容相同，紙質灰、字跡較淡。

第二十一到二十七頁是 §8-§14（Zamora 口述第 4-10 頁）的第二份碳印副本，內容相同。

§16 Zamora 口述第三份碳印副本（page-28 ~ 37）

第二十八到三十七頁是 Zamora 口述第 1-10 頁的第三份碳印副本，內容相同。三份副本的存在反映 FBI 1964 年的標準作業流程：原稿 + 兩份副本，分別歸 Albuquerque 辦事處檔案、Bureau HQ、Project Blue Book / Air Force。

§17 現場手繪圖 A：4 個矩形壓痕 + 燒焦點測量圖

第三十八頁是現場手繪平面測量圖（鋼筆/原子筆深棕墨）。四個角各畫一個矩形角標：

• 左上：「DIRT BURM」（土堤）+ 「90°」（90 度角）
• 右上：「DIRT BURM」+「GENERAL AREA OF FOOTPRINTS」（一般足跡區）
• 左下：「90°」
• 右下：「BURN」（燒焦點，畫一個有刻劃的小柱）

對角線測量值：

• 9' 7½"（左上 → 右上）
• 14' 9½"（左下 → 右下）
• 14' 5½"（左下方對角）
• 19' 6½"（左下 → 右上）
• 10½"（局部）
• 8' 3 2½"（左下短邊？）
• 中央 mark 「APPARENT DIRECTION OF BURN OR HEAT」字樣處有箭頭指示

「DIRT BURM」雙標 + 「FOOTPRINTS」「BURN」字樣 + 90° 角註記，是現場勘查記錄者根據實地測量畫的等比例平面圖。這張圖跟 §3 備忘錄文字「四個壓痕 16″×6″ 矩形 + 三處燒焦草叢」相呼應，使物證以幾何形式被記錄。

§18 現場手繪圖 B：另一張視角

第三十九頁是現場手繪圖 B 的背面（紙的反面，整頁泛黃，右上角紅筆手寫案件編號 62-83894-438）。

第四十頁是另一張現場手繪平面圖，比 page-38 簡化。四個壓痕標 #1-#4（四角，矩形角標表示著陸支架的位置），三處燒焦標 #1-#3 BURN（橢圓形圈標表示草叢燒焦點），加上「APPARENT DIRECTION OF BURN OR HEAT」（明顯燒焦或熱源方向）箭頭從 #3 燒焦點射出。測量值：

• 2 → #4 BURN: 6' 4"

• 2 → #1 BURN: 9' 4"

• 3 → #1 (BURN AREA): 6' 4"

• 3 → #4 BURN: 6' 4"

• 3 → #2 BURN: 8' 6"

• 3 → #3 BURN: 4' (or 1'4")

• 4 → #3 BURN: 20'

• 1 → #2 BURN: 6' 8"

• 1 → #3 BURN: 10' 8"

這張平面圖比 page-38 更完整地把 4 個 indentation（#1-#4）與 3 處 burn（#1-#3 BURN）的相對位置標出來，加上「明顯燒焦方向」箭頭，相當於把現場 4 個矩形壓痕視為四足著陸器位置，從中心對稱地射出三道熱源軌跡。後來 Hynek 1964-04-25 到現場時用這張圖做為勘查基礎。

§19 Zamora 案 vs. 其他案卷：1964 年 FBI 的處置態度

對照本案卷其他案件：

類型	範例	FBI 處置
民眾通報	Serial 220（Garcia Macias）	翻譯 + 歸檔，不調查
出版品	Serial 403（Barker 書） / 449（雜誌）	整本掃描 + 歸檔，不調查
媒體剪報	SUB A	子卷收齊 + 13 高層傳閱
空軍規範	Serial 164（Cabell Memo 4）	被動歸檔 + 等空軍處理
警察目擊	Serial 438（Zamora）	特派員親自查驗物證 + 完整口述 + 三份副本

Serial 438 是 1964 年 FBI 對 UFO 案件處理最積極的範例。特派員不是「收信歸檔」，而是「現場勘查 + 訪談 + 物證記錄」。原因有三：

1. 訪談員碰巧在現場：Byrnes 1964-04-24 16:00 剛好在 Socorro 州警辦公室公幹，距事發地僅 1 英里，跟 Zamora 認識 5 年
2. 目擊者是現役警察：Zamora 是 Socorro 警局 5 年資警員，FBI 對同業警察的證述採信度高於一般民眾
3. 多人佐證 + 物證：Chavez、Luckie、Jordan 三位現役警察，加上 4 個矩形壓痕、3 處燒焦草叢、3 個圓形凹痕等物證

這份 Serial 438 完整原始記錄後來透過 Hynek 進入 Project Blue Book 案卷（檔案編號 Project Blue Book Case 8766 / Socorro），1969 年 Project Blue Book 結案時仍保留「unknown」分類。1966 Condon Report（科羅拉多大學委託，前 NIST 局長 Edward U. Condon 主持）也評估了本案，認為解釋為惡作劇、月球登陸器試飛、燭壓裝置等假說都不能完全符合所有物證。本案至今未有公認的常規解釋。

§20 與 1964 年其他重要案件的時序關聯

對照同期事件：

• 1964-04-24（Zamora 案發生）
• 1964-04-25（Hynek 到 Socorro）
• 1964-04-30（空軍 Project Blue Book 接案編號 8766）
• 1964-05-08（Byrnes 完成 FBI 備忘錄，本案卷 Serial 438）
• 1964-08（Air Force Capt. Hector Quintanilla Jr. 接 Blue Book 主任，本案列「unknown」存檔）
• 1966-01（Condon Committee 成立）
• 1968-12（Condon Report 出版，建議空軍結束 UFO 調查）
• 1969-12-17（Project Blue Book 正式結案）

Zamora 案發生在 1964-04，正好是 Blue Book 從 Quintanilla 接任前的過渡期。FBI Byrnes 1964-05-08 寫好備忘錄送 Hoover 桌上，後續沒看到 FBI 進一步行動。Hoover 收到後也沒指示 SAC 進一步調查，比照 Section 7 1952 Washington DC 雷達案的處置態度（FBI 也是收到後歸檔）。
