Initial data
Alois Olenik, who was driving to the nearest store, saw a glowing amber object rising from a grove 900 yards (810 m) away.
Then it approached his pickup truck, losing altitude and becoming a blinding cherry-red light. When it was directly above it, the witness lights went out and its engine stalled.
He came out and saw a spherical device with two conical protrusions. The bottom was of polished metal.
When the UFO leaned toward him at an angle of 37-40 degrees, he saw that its upper half was transparent and there were two people in it, visible with a reddish internal light.
They were 5 feet (1.5 m) tall or less, with bald heads, large pointed ears, long noses, and slit-like eyes. Their skin looked grayish. They seemed to be steering the ship.
There was no engine noise, but there was a cyclonic howl of wind beneath the ship. Then it flew straight up, a gust of wind hit the pickup and almost instantly disappeared. The smell of burning electrical insulation lingered in the truck for a while.
The witness's eyes were startled, and as a result, he had to wear dark glasses.

Summary: Alois Olenick driving to a nearby store saw amber colored luminous object rise from a grove 900 yards away. It then approached his pickup, losing altitude & becoming a blindingly bright cherry-red light. When it was directly over him, the witness lights went out & his engine died. He gout out & saw a globular craft with 2 conical protrusions; the bottom was of highly polished metal. When the UFO tipped at a 37-40 degree angle toward him, he could see that the top half was transparent & contained two occupants, visible by a reddish internal light; they were 5 ft tall or less, with bald heads, large pointed ears, long noses, & slit like eyes. Their skin appeared grayish. They seemed to be handling controls. There was no motor noise, but a cyclonic shriek of wind below the craft. Then it took off straight up, with a gust of wind that buffeted the pickup, and vanished almost instantly. There was an odor like burning electrical insulation that persisted in the truck for some time. The witness eyes were affected and he had to wear dark glasses as a result.
