I grew up in International Falls, on the edge of the Boundary Waters.  People up there actually have a fair bit of contact with aliens.  The Arnam live and breath underwater, but salt water is just as deadly to them as it is to us.  So they settled in the Great Lakes and Boundary Waters after Contact, and all of us locals got real used to seeing them swimming around under the surface.  I’ve even visited some of their lakebed cities.  That was real fun.
