In 1980 and 1983 the asteroid 2201 Oljato passed inside the orbit of Venus, respectively 65 and 21 days prior to the passage of Venus, apparently causing disturbances in the interplanetary magnetic field, possibly through the interaction of its debris trail with the solar wind. In July 1986 the asteroid passed through the inner solar system 25 days after Venus and it is expected to find similar disturbances if the debris trail extended in front of the asteroid. The expected disturbances were observed. All data from the longitude range of the disturbances have been examined for all Venus years as well as from a control period over the same solar longitudes but at different ecliptic longitudes. No enhancements in the rate of occurrence of events were seen in the control periods during 1980, 1983 and 1986, and the rate was uniformly low at all other times. The new data reaffirm the association of solar wind disturbances with the asteroidal passage and imply a debris trail that extends perhaps 1 AU both in front of and behind the asteroid.
