But I have also had a close encounter, and I have also been visited on several occasion by an occupant in a old farmhouse that I once lived in.[/quote]

I, for one, would love to hear more about your close encounter. Most folks who have seen them are first drilled on details, then the interviewers sadly tell the newspapers that you were mistaken, you saw a weather balloon.
I did see one many years ago, right above the secretive military base, Sandia. My then husband and I were picnicking in the Mts above Albuquerque, and suddenly a large, triangular craft rose from that base and just hung there, then after a while it suddenly started towards us. Hubby motioned it away, instead of running!! He told me that if I told anyone at all about that he would be court marshaled and stuck away so deep they would have to pump in daylight. He's dead now and so is my second DH. When drunk later he said that he went to work at the AF base right beside Sandia, signed in and then went across to Sandia and had to shower in a room with windows, then go to another room and get into a coverall and reverse this at night.
Would never say what he did but he and his father were geniuses with anything that was mechanical.
This was in the spring of 1958, just a little bit over 10 years since the Roswell space ship crash.
