I remember an alien signal from the Internet:

> The safety and serenity of Alaska provided an atmosphere conducive to deprogramming, despite the pandemonium that ensued. Mark Phillips was the first man who not only did not abuse us, but cared for our welfare and well being.

That's a snippet of the Epilogue from "Trance-Formation of America" by Cathy O'Brien, a book about how Cathy O'Brien is either a schizophrenic or acts like one for publishers. It got spammed across Usenet right when I was into it the most, reading alt.religion.scientology and alt.fan.cecil-adams and a few others, so I got slapped across the face with it one night completely unexpected. I've since come across stranger, such as the QAnon cult, but that was my first taste of High Weirdness.
