Jim and Coral Lorenzen
From Planet-flipside UFO Wiki
Jim and Coral Lorenzen were husband and wife. They are regarded as the founders of APRO, one of the first citizens' UFO investigation groups. The Lorenzens lived in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1950 and to Tucson, Arizona in 1960.
According to the website of Jon Fry, the Lorenzens corresponded about UFOs with Carl Jung. http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:YnGuXRSkGq4J:roundtownufosociety.com/Book%2520Reviews/bookreviews.htm+jim+and+coral+lorenzen+biography&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&ie=UTF-8
The Lorenzens were some of the first UFO investigators to pay attention to reports of alien humanoids seen with UFOs. They also were some of the first American investigators to seriously study UFO and humanoid reports from Central and South America.
According to UFO investigator and writer, Richard Dolan, the Lorenzens and APRO always maintained they received reports from three people, unconnected to one another, all who were menbers of the Air Force, about a strange addendum to the April 24, 1964 Socorro, New Mexico UFO incident. Jim and Coral said they were reliably told that on the night of April 30, 1964, seven days after Socorro, the pilot of a B-57 bomber, flying near Holloman Air Force Base reported seeing in the air a white, egg-shaped object with markings on the side. The pilot reportedly said that he saw this object, which matched the description of the UFO seen on the ground in Socorro by Lonnie Zamora, descend and land on the grounds of Holloman Air Force Base. As Dolan says, Jim and Coral "never wavered" in maintaining the truth of these three reports.
They authored several books together:
- Abducted! Confrontations with Beings from Outer Space New York: Berkley, 1977
- Encounters with UFO Occupants New York: Berkley, 1976.
- UFOs: The Whole Story New York: New American Library, 1969.
- UFOs Over the Americas New York: New American Library, 1968.
- Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from Outer Space: An Exposure of the Establishment's Flying Saucer Cover-up New York: William-Frederick Press, 1966.
Jim Lorenzen passed away from cancer in 1986 and Coral also died of cancer in 1988.
