My late father was a chief mastersargent and worked at Kelley in Military Intelligence for the Airforce. With all the military around here, surely there would have been major UFO flaps all the time. My dad's divison would have been going nuts everyday with all the ufos and little aliens hanging around the Olmos Basin. I don't think there is any such "school 'there at all.
Think it just makes a good story.

my husband attended the secret school in the late 50's. He rode his bike and he was not abducted. He remembers riding into Olmos basin park, laying his bike down and a sending up the hill and grabbing onto a tree to get the rest of the way. The teacher was scary at first but everyone came to love her. He said he didn't sit on the benches he sat alone off to the side at a small table (like a card table but not). He saw other children there but they were not from his school class. I totally believe him. He's pretty much a genius at making any thING out of nothing and gender uses directions or plans. He just creates what he needs or what a friend needs. He understands stuff he never heard of before...very technical stuff without school to teach him. He learned everything from 'the teacher' as the children called her. I feel there's something special about him I'm always calling him a brain I am but he'll say he's not anyone can do it and believe me they can't.

This is probably neither here nor there but my dad used to tell me about gigging frogs in Olmos creek back when it was way out north of San Antonio. He lived on Virginia st. and his buddy would ride all the way out there on their bicycles which is kinda hard to believe but he told me they would gig frogs and eat them. He showed me his frog gig. It looked like a little pitch fork. He told me they taste like chicken. He never told me about a secret school. When I was a kid Olmos park was just a park. We would ride the swings. I never thought of it as something way out in the country and I never in my life heard of a secret school. When the basin would flood we would get out our canoes and we made pipes out of the bamboo. I spent a lot of time down there. It seems like I would have run across it
