Yes.
Definitely, yes.

So far the aliens have not come to rescue me but I expect them any day now.

That was in the later forties and one case in the late 50's.

In the late 70's I had neighbors that got indoor plumbing.

,,,,,,,,,,,,and they're bringing a probe,,,

Oh no!
Not again!

I already went through that years ago in divorce court. The aliens could not possibly have a probe as big as the judge's.

Often times they are found along the routes of abandoned railroad lines.

In the countryside, if there is a relatively sharp raised ridge/ mound a bit to many feet above the property and continuing, that is usually what is left of a road or railway right of way They erode at the edges.

You know... I jusk (awoke, awake?) from my "siesta" and had my eyes passing through this thread, my portuguese-main-reading-brain still shifting gears, still skipping words and picking one or another. Suddenly the almighty ball-of-lard concatenated a sequence... waiting... aliens... probe... sharp...

You, guys, are the best alarm clock i know.

But seriously, a number of years back, you used to see those colored insulators sold as "collectibles" along side Depression era glass in little antique shops.
