A 1954 sighting (from a 1954 report)
Paul Dean has provided, from his vast collection, of UFO goodies, this 1954 "report" from the Winter 1954/55 edition of Flying Saucer News:
Those of you who click on the image (to enlarge and read it) will find this:
Now where do such observations (or imagined accounts) of such "entities" -- seen from afar, inside a strange crash -- come from?
Are they actually seen? Or conjured from readings of magazines/books, or TV shows/movies?
The details are usually bizarre or fictive (created for or from a literary source).
The "crew" described here derive from or resemble Orthon, Adamski's Venusian, described in the Adamski oeuvre, published and circulated extensively in the early 1950s, before 1954 when this alleged sighting occurred.

You are quite right about Mrs Roestenberg and her strange experience, already brought up by Nick Redfern.
The early accounts of this sighting always omit essential details of this woman, i.e. that she had a 'psychic' element about her and used to go to seances. She had read Adamski's book prior to her own experience. Her children grew up but never once, to my knowledge, have they spoken about the case. In fact nobody ever spoke to to either of them in the years that followed. Very strange, don't you think? The woman did appear on TV many years afterwards, with much the same story, or so I believe.
Whilst on this topic, and referring to the Socorro case, why is it that we never hear a thing about Zamora's personality, childhood, influences he may have had and so on? It is always a focus on this ONE case and its aftermath. Do we know, for example, if Zamora had ever read any UFO books? Do we know what other interest he may have had in the subject (or related subjects) or contact with other UFO believers/followers? All we seem to get is whether he was drinking earlier that day!
I say the above without having seen Kevin's latest book.

Kevin's book covers almost everything Socorro related and then some....(ahem).
But nothing about Zamora's childhood or early experiences or interest (or not) in flying saucer stuff.
I think Zamora was a superb witness and did his best under the strange occurrence he experienced.
That stupidly titled Stanford book -- Socorro Saucer in a Pentagon Pantry -- screwed up many UFO buffs for years, as it represented, for them, an accurate appraisal and account of the 1964 event....which it wasn't, being influenced by Stanford's ET bias even then.

And here she is telling the story herself from 70s BBC Documentary 'UFOs - Out of This World' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dJj3ftJ7Fg&t=5m11s
