Socorro ‘Saucer’ in a Pentagon Pantry – Signed Provenance Copy

 This is a rare and highly collectible signed copy of Socorro ‘Saucer’ in a Pentagon Pantry by Ray Stanford. This book remains one of the most detailed and significant investigations ever published on the 1964 Lonnie Zamora UFO landing in Socorro, New Mexico. Copies in strong condition are hard to find, and signed copies with established provenance almost never come to market.

Key Features of This Copy

Signed by Ray Stanford
This copy includes a clean, authentic signature with the inscription “Best Wishes,” on the front endpaper. I was personal friends with Ray Stanford from 2015 until his passing, and I can fully affirm the authenticity and style of his signature and inscription.

Dave Marler Library Provenance
This book comes directly from the personal collection of UFO historian David Marler, who I am also personal friends with. Marler’s library is one of the most respected research archives in the field. His donation label appears inside the book and serves as verified provenance.

Original Blueapple Books Errata Slip Included
Most copies have lost this insert. This one still contains the original publisher-issued correction slip from Blueapple Books, a key collectible element that increases historical and library value.

Matching Hand Correction Inside the Book
Page 177 contains a handwritten correction matching the errata slip. This feature is found only in the earliest printings and is highly desirable to collectors who want an early-state or first-issue example.

Research-Active Highlighting
The book contains light yellow highlighting on significant sections. This is typical of research-use copies and adds more historical weight rather than diminishing quality. It provides insight into how investigators engaged with the text.

Strong Condition
The book has a tight spine, clean interior pages, and an intact printed cover with minimal wear. A very well-preserved example of this scarce Blueapple Books publication.

A True Collector’s Piece
With the combination of Ray Stanford’s signature, David Marler provenance, the original errata slip, early-state textual correction, and research markings, this copy stands as a unique and historically important volume. It is ideal for serious collectors, historians, archivists, or anyone who values authentic primary-source UFO research material. $250
