Subject: Socorro Metal


Dear Errol and list,

As you know, there were small deposits of metal found on one of
the stones at the landing site. This was presumably where the
landing gear of the object touched down, scraping against a
quartz impregnated rock.

Unfortunately, Ray Stanford lost some of the material through
careless handling, but those that remained were analysed by Dr.
Frankel of NASA's Goddard Lab.

On Wednesday, 29th July 1964, the results of the analysis were
passed to Ray Stanford.

Here is the excerpt from Stanford's 'Socorro Saucer':

Frankel: "We have analysed the particles that were clinging to
the rocks surface,' Frankel told me. 'The particles are
comprised of a material that could not occur naturally.
Specifically, it consists predominantly of two metallic
elements, zinc and iron, with minute traces of other elements,
and there is something that is rather exciting about the
zinc-iron alloy of which we find the particles to consist: Our
charts of all alloys known known to be manufactured on Earth,
the USSR included, do not show any alloy of the specific
combination or ratio of the two main elements involved here.
This finding definitely strengthens the case that might be made
for an extraterrestrial origin of the Socorro object."

Frankel goes on to say: "I am virtually certain that the alloy
involved here is not manufactured anywhere on Earth."

Dr. Frankel suggested that there were other tests he would
conduct to show the percentages of each element. However, every
time Stanford contacted Frankel after that, he was effectively
fobbed off with some petty excuse by Frankel's secretary. Some
time later, Stanford received a phone call from one Thomas P.
Siacca Jr. of the Spacecraft Systems Branch of NASA. Siacca told
Stanford that he had been told to call him to give him the
official conclusion of the Socorro analysis. "Everything Dr.
Frankel told you was a mistake....the sample was determined to
be silica, SiO2."

Quite a turn-around by NASA. Effectively blaming an eminent
'in-house' analyst for making such an unbelievable mistake!
Balloons.....

I think not!

Best wishes, Jerry Anderson
