Episode 48: The Saucer
In April of 1964, a Socorro, New Mexico police officer, Lonnie Zamora, experienced one of the most famous UFO sightings in US history—one often overshadowed by the more famous Roswell incident some years before. Lonnie’s story has it all: Project Blue Book, aliens, the CIA. . . and a lot of half-baked explanations.
