For those of us that spend hours pouring over UFO books, buried in eyewitness accounts from yesteryear, there are pivotal cases that transform the average human into a UFO enthusiast. Today, we explore the case that made me the UFO researcher and podcaster I am today, the Lonnie Zamora Incident.

Full stop, this episode is meticulous, as our list of sources indicates. Our lead researcher, Rory, researched the subtle complexities often overlooked in the Lonnie Zamora incident. We dive deep into the landing traces, the symbol that Zamora saw on the side of the craft, and we point to a potential government program that may have been responsible for the Lonnie Zamora Incident.
