La Madera, New Mexico, April 26 - Orlando Callegos, 35, of Santa Fe, reportedly was witness to an ellipsoidal object similar in description to the one observed by Socorro policeman, Lonnie Zamora, in the vicinity of his father's home north of La Madera.

When Gallegos first sighted the UFO, there was a ring of blue flame erupting from numerous jets around the bottom of the craft. He heard no noise, and as he watched, th…
