The Surveyor Theory Doesn't Fit the Facts of the Case

Lonnie Zamora would have needed to set fire to the plants at the landing site and also make the impressions on the ground that other people saw. In later years, he got tired of talking about the encounter and wouldn't discuss it with people. The location is wrong at the top around 100 miles away. It doesn't explain the flame that Zamora saw when the craft took off because surveyor can't take off. Surveyor also doesn't look like a big egg and Zamora would've seen a helicopter hoisting it up into the air as that's how they moved it.
