I sent this off to the Owatonna paper for their Halloween issue.  I doubt they'll print it.  From Jenny Randles' book, "The Truth Behind The Men In Black":

"A typically odd event is reported by New York journalist John Keel. In November 1966 two women at OWATONNA MINNESOTA [emphasis mine] spotted strange twinkling lights above a field. Suddenly, one light swooped down low and one of the women collapsed onto her knees and started talking in a robotic voice as if something were transmitting through her vocal chords. She was acting as a "Direct Voice Medium" (a Spiritualist term--where the dead supposedly use a person's voice to convey a message) or, more commonly amidst today's new age community, as a "channeler" of some kind of cosmic wisdom. But this 1966 contact was more comic than cosmic. "What--is--your--time--cycle?" the voice asked followed by a series of questions indicating that the woman (or whomever was supposedly communicating through her) did not understand the concept of time. The UFO then promptly shot up into the sky and vanished.

After this weird episode, Mrs. Butler (the woman who heard the voice) said that she was plagued with strange phone calls in the middle of the night when nobody was at the end of the line and there were odd noises on her radio set, not unlike those described by Rex Heflin. This was a familiar pattern in the cases that Keel was by now uncovering.

Then Mrs. Butler ventured that she had had a "strange visitor". The man was wearing a dark suit and clothing that seemed brand new. His complexion was olive and his hair was dark and long--too long, she thought, for the Air Force officer that he claimed to be. He identified himself as Major Richard French and said he was interested in UFOs. Then he drove off in a brand new Mustang car.

Next day Major French was back claiming that his stomach was hurting him. As a home remedy, Mrs. Butler advised that he try Jell-O. She brought him a bowl and sat agape as he literally tried to drink it like soup!

After regaining her senses at the ridiculous sight, she explained the concept of eating to the man and he eventually left. But the Butlers were so puzzled they took down his car registration number. The vehicle turned out to be a hire car from Minneapolis. There was also a Richard French in the USAF, but he denied "pestering" the Butlers, and the USAF proved his case by showing French's identification. The real Richard French bore no resemblance to the man who called at their home."

[I believe this was a Mrs. Ralph Butler.  If she's still alive, I'd LOVE to interview her].
