Socorro Incident: Refutation of the Student Prank by Jose Caravaca

Saturday, December 2, 2017 11:24

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

For the realization of the UFO Socorro prank, a minimum of 5 to 6 students had to participate.

The driver of the vehicle (1) who would serve as a decoy to lead the unsuspecting policeman to the place of teasing.

A watchman (2) who was to warn (walkie-talkie?) of the arrival of the protagonist on the stage of the mockery where the two “actors” (3-4) armed with their insulating monkeys were waiting.

And those in charge (5-6) of special effects, burning bushes, igniting explosives, making noises, etc., if we consider that the two “little humanoids” in their disguise would not be very operative.

Were all these people able to go unnoticed in view of Zamora and his companions?

Remember that the witness was more or less 5 meters high from where the action took place, being able to observe perfectly the whole environment from a high perspective. Where did they hide?

Despite the short distance between him and the artifact, the policeman did not perceive anything suspicious, such as people or props?

Didn’t anyone in the village see them move the “technical team” to the desert? Where did they inflate the 6-meter balloon?

And we went back to the most disconcerting detail: did those involved decide to keep the secret of their brilliant company and in more than 40 years no filter anything, not between friends or relatives?

No one wanted to assume the authorship of a master “work” that has been the object of books, countless articles and dozens of documentaries?

Another substantial detail, to demonstrate the strangeness of the Socorro incident, is offered by two pairs of small circular traces appearing inside the rhombus that formed the supposed footprints left by the four legs of the device.

These marks according to all the specialists had to be produced by the ladder that the two humanoids used for their descent to land. The existence of four marks would be due to an adjustment, after a first contact, for the correct fastening, carried out mechanically or manually. But the footprints offer more information.

The ufologist W. T. Powers, who analyzed the layout of the four landing gear markings, discovered that they were arranged at a perfect right angle, and that even the largest spacing of the axle of one of them coincided with where the scale marks and small footprints of the humanoid assumptions were found. This meant that the aircraft had intelligently arranged the landing gear so that the occupants could comfortably descend through a larger area.

In 1966, the ufologist wrote in the prestigious Flying Saucer Review, “The centre of gravity of the supposed vehicle was directly above the burning area. Powers calculated that at least one ton of weight had to be exerted for each support to produce marks: “This is a resounding rebuttal of a possible deception, or else it would have to be admitted that it was not only a very clever prankster, but also extraordinarily strong” Powers concluded in his detailed report on the case.

It is strange to think that jokers, no matter how high their academic training, took time to perfectly position the landing gear of the balloon, calculate its center of gravity, and much more to go where there should be more space for the hypothetical crewmen to descend.

The analysis of the footprints shows that it was not a fixed landing scheme, as in the case of space modules, for example, but rather an intelligent system that adapted to the environment where it had to land: calculating distances and orienting perfectly to achieve the perfect balance inside the object regardless of the abruptness of the outside.

If we examine in detail Zamora’s story and the possible student prank, we find more errors of bulk.

If we assume that it was some kind of floating balloon or gadget, at least 6 meters long by 3 meters wide, someone had to attach a device, such as a flare or “explosive,” to simulate the lower “escape” the police saw.

This would put the flammable internal gas of the balloon at serious risk of reaction due to the heat generated by the flare, since as it was a rotating exhaust, sometimes the flame would be dangerously close to the external structure of the aerostat.

Zamora himself felt, despite the distance, the heat coming from the “exhaust”, which would indicate the high temperature of that jet, temperatures not suitable for a balloon, at least filled with any flammable gas.

In addition, when the object rose about 6 meters from the ground, it stopped for several seconds, beginning a parallel flight with the ground, a few meters from the surface, in complete silence.

At a kilometre and a half flight (1´5 km) the artifact rises at a very steep angle upwards. What kind of balloon did the students create that was able to travel in silence, in perfect horizontal flight and soar after completing a good distance? How did you get the balance of the balloon? What propulsion system did they use since Zamora only distinguished the flare at the bottom?

It has to be said that the most difficult thing to control precisely in the horizontal flight of a balloon is the stability, and more so while operating a few meters from the ground, which could have caused its crash or its erratic displacement, never rectilinear. In addition, the students’ balloon retracted the landing gear before taking off.

Clearly, the mysterious object possessed two distinct types of propulsion source; a noisy “jet gyroscope” (perhaps due to a malfunction not solved by Zamora’s arrival, which indicated that the ascent of the device was slow and clumsy) for landings, takeoffs, and land approach and an unknown, more advanced, quieter and more efficient system for moving at a high speed through the sky.

The staging of the students’ performance would have had to plan minute details, including the metal doors heard by Zamora that compared them to those produced by the gates of an armored vehicle. The specialists agree in pointing out that both blows correspond to the closing of the entry of the aircraft that was made in two parts.

About the alleged humanoids, there is one aspect Bragalia has not considered.

Zamora estimated their height by comparing them to a bush next to them, this one averaging 1´57 meters. Therefore, the supposed crewmen had to measure between 1´30 and 1´40 meters, this means that if they had been small students; they would have to be at least dwarfs.

It should also be considered that the visual perspective of people bent or kneeling to simulate short stature would offer Zamora an inaccurate proportion between height and width, making it clear that humanoids were either big headed or had excessively long arms.

In a commentary made to his readers, Bragalia specifies that the high insulating boots used by students could give, in the distance, the impression of being small people, a fact that does not fit at all with the height of the shrub that serves as a reference.

Bragalia’s hypothesis neither contemplates nor explains the observations made by other witnesses that afternoon. Relief gas station clerk Mr. Opal Grinder told reporters that a family of Colorado tourists had told him about the great scare they took when an oval-shaped object had passed so close to the roof of their car, a 1955 Cadillac, that they thought it was going to crash into them. This incident occurred moments before, and in the same direction as Lonnie Zamora’s encounter.

Curiously, despite Dr. Hynek’s specific request, the USAF ignored a search for these additional witnesses who could provide clarity to the sighting.

But there are more observers. Ray Stanford wrote that “Paul Kies and Larry Kratzer reported observing the landing of the ovoid object Zamora saw. (…) also saw a flame beneath the apparatus, which descended less than a kilometre and a half northeast of the car in which they were traveling on their way to Socorro.” Nor did the authorities inquire into these testimonies. This is a mystery…
