I was on guard duty in a bunker on the cliff above where the ship landed. It was right next to the MAG 36 chopper pad. It was New Years Eve, 1966. It was raining like hell and I kept watching the lights on the ship get closer and closer to the rocks. Finally, I heard this tremendous screech. I called the communications shack and told them about the noise. They came down and we all stood around wandering what had happened. The next morning, some of us went down to the rocks below and picked up item that had escaped from the hull. It was quite an experience.
