UFO Research by Tony Angiola

 Snippy the Horse Field Notes
These notes come from three research visits to the National UFO Historic Records Center, where we gathered material from APRO and NICAP files, audio tapes, photos, and original documents tied to the 1967 case. We also include our onsite investigations at the Snippy location, drone footage of the area, and field observations from the UFO Watchtower and the town of Alamosa.
This section brings together what we found in archives and what we saw in person. It shows how the historical record lines up with the physical setting, the family accounts, and the larger activity reported in the San Luis Valley.
For readers following the deeper investigation, these field notes offer a clear record of evidence, witness history, and the details that still remain unexplained. 

 Socorro UFO! Not of This World
These field notes come from our deep research into the 1964 Socorro UFO landing near Socorro, New Mexico, one of the most well-documented close encounters in American history. Lonnie Zamora, a seasoned police officer, witnessed an oval craft on the ground with strange markings, blue flame propulsion, and two small figures before it lifted off and vanished into the sky.
Our notes include two trips to the Socorro landing site, where we interviewed people who knew Lonnie, toured the town of Socorro, and traced his exact path from random patrol to the landing site. We worked to relive that fateful day step by step, connecting locations, timelines, and witness memories to build a clear picture of what happened.
During those visits we also located the original site of the dynamite shack for reference and took extensive photos of the landscape, terrain, and surrounding features.
These notes also include material from our visit to the National UFO Records Center in Rio Rancho when it was still housed in Dave Marler’s home, where we reviewed documents, audio recordings, and archival files from APRO, NICAP, and other collections.
What makes the Socorro case so important is its physical evidence, the strength of the original investigation, and the fact that even government reviewers could not explain what Zamora encountered. These notes capture the findings from our fieldwork and the historical threads that shaped our book, Socorro UFO! Not of This World. 

 Cosmic Secrets: Why Governments Fear Disclosure
These notes cover the sources, research, and background material that shaped the book. They include references to the many works studied for this project and how meeting and working with Ryan Wood and Katie Paige helped bring the larger picture together. Their experience with historical cases, archives, and witnesses strengthened the direction of the book and helped focus the message behind it.
Cosmic Secrets explains why we should not rely on formal government disclosure of UFOs, nonhuman intelligence, or recovered technology. Decades of misinformation, conflicting statements, and concealed evidence show a clear pattern that has not changed. The public has been told many stories, but the truth has always been managed, redirected, or buried.
These notes highlight historical UFO events, key documents, and the long trail of lies and coverups that continue to this day. In my view, supported by both evidence and experience, the modern disclosure movement has become a circus built on selective truths and controlled narratives. It raises hopes, delivers promises, and then moves on without a real climax.
This section captures why the book was written, why the topic matters, and why disclosure, as many people imagine it, will never come from official channels. 

 The Valley: Colorado’s Paranormal Triangle
These notes explain how the idea for the book began and the contacts that helped make it possible. One long-time San Luis Valley resident reached out to us after seeing the work we share online and through our weekly podcast, The Trifecta, which airs Wednesday nights on YouTube, Spreaker, and other social media syndications. He knew Chris O’Brien and others from the early days of the valley’s investigations and once ran a radio show for O’Brien. He has collected stories from locals for years and is now sharing that full archive with me so the material can be preserved, expanded, and presented in the book.
The notes also cover the history, cases, and oral accounts that shaped the direction of the project. The Valley is a place where UFOs, strange lights, sightings of beings, unusual creatures, hauntings, and unexplainable events all overlap. These records help connect the past to the present and give a clearer picture of why the region earned its reputation for high strangeness.
Working with Rocky Mountain Ranch Research, we plan to preserve the oral history of the valley’s paranormal past, present, and future. Our goal is to archive these stories and share them with the public through annual presentations at the Snippy event hosted by One Spark, talks at MUFON chapters, local libraries, and in time, presentations at Adams State College.
These notes also include contributions from local authors who write about paranormal stories in small Colorado towns like Leadville, as well as insights from psychic mediums in the triangle who continue to gather personal accounts from the people they meet. All of this material helps build a fuller picture of the valley and supports the mission to protect and share its unique oral history. 

 Hunt for the Roswell Body
These notes explain how the investigation began and how the story grew into a full research project. We first heard accounts about an alien body from the 1947 Roswell crash being secretly transported to Denver and held for years by a local judge at a funeral home. The story was unusual, but consistent enough across sources that it demanded a closer look.
The turning point came when Katie was giving a presentation at a retirement community and mentioned the case. Someone in the audience recognized the story and knew the judge’s wife, who lived upstairs but was not attending the event. The judge had already passed away, but Katie later met with his wife. That meeting opened the door to a series of revealing details that supported the possibility that a nonhuman body really had been stored in the funeral home for an extended period.
These notes also connect the case to a small, out-of-print book titled They Were Here, written by Lou Roberts. He was the young funeral home worker who claimed he discovered the hermetically sealed coffin in the basement and saw the small body inside. We hold a copy of that rare book, and Katie eventually met Roberts in person, which added further depth and credibility to his original account.
All of this material, from interviews to historical threads, is included in these notes as we continue to follow the path of the story and document what may be one of the most overlooked chapters in the Roswell timeline.
