A UFO researcher claimed they obtained leaked government documents that revealed that USAF officials held a meeting with extraterrestrials at a site in the New Mexico desert in 1964.
In the 1980s, the researcher sent the documents to various government agencies and the USAF (see video below) for verification under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), but officials declined the requests.
The unverified documents claimed that the 1964 Lonnie Zamora incident was, in fact, a scheduled meeting between USAF officials and two extraterrestrials at a location in the New Mexico desert.
The documents also appeared to confirm that government agents recovered a crashed alien spacecraft from Roswell in July 1947.
However, skeptical Reddit users questioned the authenticity of the alleged Project Aquarius and Project Sigma documents, saying they were hoaxes.
The Lonnie Zamora incident
The Project Aquarius/Project Sigma documents claimed that government agents recovered a crashed UFO from a site near Roswell in July 1947.
Another UFO landed at a separate site in the New Mexico desert on April 24, 1964, the document added. The incident, known in UFO folklore as the Lonnie Zamora sighting, involved a face-to-face interaction between humans and aliens, the documents claimed.
Lonnie Zamora was a police officer who reported a shiny white UFO shaped like a sphere at a site near Socorro, New Mexico. He also reported seeing two humanoids in white coats standing beside the UFO.
The UFO later took off with a blast emitting blue and orange flame.
USAF investigated the Lonnie Zamora incident
Zamora’s weird story attracted the attention of the USAF. Air Force officials inconclusively investigated the case as part of Project Blue Book.
The incident also attracted the attention of the media and UFO researchers. While the Air Force listed the incident as unresolved in their Project Blue Book report, skeptics offered multiple possible explanations.
Some claimed that Zamora likely encountered NASA technicians testing a lunar landing craft at the nearby White Sands Missile Range.
Others dismissed it as a hoax staged by the students at the nearby New Mexico Tech.
Project Sigma
Although the USAF and government officials denied knowledge of what happened, the Project Sigma documents claimed that Officer Zamora stumbled upon a scheduled meeting between USAF officials and extraterrestrial visitors.
The meeting allegedly took place as part of Project Sigma.
Project Sigma, allegedly launched in 1959, involved multiple arranged contacts between the US government and technologically advanced alien civilizations.
According to the unverified documents, a USAF official met with two aliens at a location in the New Mexico desert. During the meeting, they exchanged undisclosed information.
However, the documents did not explain how the two parties communicated or the information they allegedly shared during the meeting.
