Sharon Stull and her mother claim Sharon came home for luneh on that date. ate, then walked the n mile back to school. While playing there with her lO.year~td sister Robin, Sharon saw a egg-shaped object In the sky (toward Sandia Corp). She pointed It out to the others who lost interest and went back to their games. Sharon con Unued to watch, then went in to class. She watched It about 10 minutes alto- and there b DO way to determine how Jarae or how close the ohjed was. '111at eveDina. when she came home from school, Sharon complained of pain iD her eyes, and her parents called a Dr. and she wu taken to .Bataan Hoa pital There, she was treated for sun- bum wil)J a sunburn ?iDtmeul The bums were only on her face. from her banp to her chin. She had lone hair, was wearing leotards, long-sleeved sweat er ed skirt; therefore the exposed parts of body were where she could be burned; her face, neck nd bands. How ever, there were no bums on her neck Wb-n the L.s talked to the Doc:tor phone from the Stults, be said he would have expected 8 houn of sun exposure to bum the child to that ex tnt. but be could not support Mrs. Stull's claim about the aecelerated t:oftversation wah Ll Jolly of the Albuquerque Police force indicatf!d that the children who Sharon Stull bad said also observed the object, denied it. in eluding her sister Robin. Within an hour of tbeir anival, the Lorenzena deduced tbat Sbaron Stull may have seen an objed and may have been burned, but that eertain fac:tors, some of which have been mentioned .above, preclude the nents bein1 a major case. Other fac ton are tbat Mrs. Stull adm:tted she bad called Zamora and asked him ques- tions about his experience; she seemed to be more interested in parlaying her daupter'a experience Into a money making scheme that a TV announcer had ptten Involved with the Stulls, makinc a publie plea for money for them ia Jaouary when they arrhed in Albuquerque from Los Angeles, absolute. ly penniless and without a place to live or pr-ospect of employment. Durin& the conversations with Mn. Stall. abe eoaslatently called Ule one TV announc~r a "lood friend." and the Doctor their .. family dOftor.'' The truth of the matter was th:at the TV announc er had not seen the Stulls ainte he got help for t.hcm In January. until the burn case came up. The DOftor said he had Dever seen the Stulls until he wa~ called In to lake care of Sharon, as a result of the "bum" from the UFO. One thing notable duri:11t the vi~it with the Stulls was that the story tended to aet more Involved and "stickier" ac; the Lorenzens expressed their Interest In minute details. Mn. Stull did all the talking, except to occasionally say to Mr. Stull, "Isn't that right. Max?" ( ~n unhealthy condition to say t-he least) to which he would aive an aUirmativc :an swer. The L.a had a dilficult time que; tionlng Robin (never did iucceed th~re) and Sharon. Mn. Stull repeatedly in ferred that the Air Force had suggested they not blk too much about the c:a e. and that their rights were bein& trod After leaving Albuquerque, the Loren zena re-visited Socorro to bring them selves up to date on details of more recent sightlngs there. They then drove home to Tucson where they learned some upsetting facts: Mn. Stull had cilled the Lorenzen home and asked the Lorenzen children for the name and arldre~s of the Dodol' ln California who was interested in her case, because, she said, your folks for got to give it to us." Mrs. Stull a I so called the TV Station (whlrh had done a taped interview with Zamora :an:l was curr~nUy doinJ a UFO new> se i"'~ and insinuated that the Lorenzens had promised the Stull family would be moved to Los Anaeles at the station's expense and Sharon would be treated free by the Doctor, and Mr. Stull would be given employment. The whole thing was preposterous and tbe Lorenzens were hard put to under stand the kind of people who would at tempt to perpetrate such a fraud. As was stated at the beginning of the article, Sharon Stull may have been bumed by a UFO but the strange and unethical behavior of her parents in dicates an attempt to capitalize to the extent of embroiderinJ the facts and actual attempted coercion. It may be this behavior which prompted Hynek to write the cae off u sunbum, and the Air Force to label the case a hoax. The parents of ot11er cltlldren involved may have cautioned their children not to admit aeeinl the object in order to old beinl Involved with the Stull The S1u!l Ccr' .
