Hello all, I was praying that the subject of Pelicans would go
away. It did.

Let me start by saying: New Mexico in April is a lousy time to
fly Balloons. Wind and dust are not condusive to Good Balloon
travel.

Let's start with what he didn't see, 1: A helicopter of the era
too noisy. 2: Swamp Gas Socorro? 3: A Balloon of the Hot Air
type (oh, I'm not going  any farther with that) .

What ever Zamora saw (I'm almost convinced it might have been a
little somthing that had wandered "off range" at white sands -
but not quite). I think that Zamora was not a fool and at least
knew what a hot air balloon was. International paper should
have a record of the balloon's exploits - somebody should have.
April in the Southwest is windy - very windy. I don't think it
would be a good time to hold the Socorro Balloon Festival.
