As a lifelong resident and having known Lonnie Zamora and Dr. Sterling Colgate I have a lot more confidence in what Lonnie Zamora has to say, than what Sterling Colgate has to claim.
You do realize that many of these claims about the hoax happened after many drinks a the infamous Capitol Bar, which was THE hangout for Dr. Colgate and the Techies !!!

Though it'll be tough to prove conclusively at this late date (and thus have a payout one way or the other), my betting money still says it was a student prank.

The largely male population had the technology and knowledge at hand, too few other local recreational activities and women to occupy the spare time, and large amounts of alcohol to fuel the imagination.

The writer Jack Williamson also concluded from the evidence that the "UFO" was a student prank that took advantage of a small town policeman's lack of big city sophistication. That's IMHO too.

Daily Horoscope for December 30

Taurus

It's no good - the prospect of visiting the post-Christmas sales has become too tempting for you to resist any longer. No matter what you're doing today, you'll try to squeeze in the opportunity to dash around some of your favourite shops and see what's on offer. You could snap up some bargains but you should guard against the urge to splurge on items that you don't really want or need. The price of something may have been slashed but the acid test is whether you'd still buy it if it were full price. If not, leave it in the shop!
