Interview with an Alien Ida Kannenberg, an elderly lady, lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, where she and her husband own and operate a successful antique shop. Although she is now nearly [eighty], she continues to travel all over the world searching out and buying antiques for their shop. She is highly energetic, well- educated, and interested in a wide variety of subjects. Mrs. Kannenberg's first physical UFO encounter took place in 1940, during a night when she was out on the desert. At first she was only able to remember a blazing red object coming toward her, but not what happened afterwards.
