Tucson: Suspicious visitor interviews UFO researcher's wife
Shortly after relocating to Tucson, Coral Lorenzen was visited by an unidentified man posing as an exterminator who showed unusual interest in her husband's employment at Kitt Peak Observatory and their UFO interests.
Background
Background Jim Lorenzen accepted a position as senior technical associate at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, prompting his relocation from Alamogordo, New Mexico with his wife Coral.
The Incident On their third day in Tucson, a man claiming to be an exterminator arrived at their rented residence offering complimentary pest inspection services. The visitor displayed several suspicious characteristics: he failed to identify his company, demonstrated minimal interest in actual pest control work, and instead engaged Coral in conversation about their reasons for moving, Jim's employment details, and their interest in UFO phenomena.
Significance The encounter suggests potential surveillance or intelligence gathering regarding Jim Lorenzen's professional position and UFO research activities during the early 1960s.
