San Antonio, Texas: Alois Olenick Encounters Domed Disc with Non-Human Occupants

1. On May 3, 1975, Alois Olenick encountered a domed, disc-shaped craft while driving south of San Antonio, Texas. The craft interfered with his truck, and Olenick observed non-human occupants inside. This event occurred on the same day as the De Los Santos incident.

The Incident At 9:15 p.m., Alois Olenick was driving his pickup truck south of San Antonio when a domed, disc-shaped craft approached. The craft directed a spotlight onto his truck, nearly forcing it off the road. The object then hovered over the truck, and the truck's lights and engine died as the light from the craft turned intense red.

Olenick observed two non-human beings inside a transparent dome at the top of the craft. He described them as being bald, rather small, with slits for eyes, large noses, and greyish skin. One occupant appeared to be operating controls, while the other seemed to be observing Olenick. The object then departed rapidly, and a strong wind rocked his truck.

Investigation MUFON and APRO investigated the Olenick case. J. Allen Hynek and Walter Andrus were among the investigators. All investigators found Olenick to be a credible witness.

Significance The Olenick encounter is significant because it occurred on the same day and in the same region as the De Los Santos incident. The close proximity in time and similar descriptions of the craft suggest a possible connection between the two events. The fact that credible investigators found Olenick to be a reliable witness adds weight to the account. Had the event been promptly reported by American news agencies, it might have developed into a larger story.
