There was a strange, faceted light bulb that we found in the basement storage room in our house in East Vancouver. The house was built in the early 1950s and we moved in in 2002 (ish). "We" here is old we, me and my ex-wife and the kids. The bulb was there and worked through all the time we owned the place, came with me after the separation, and was in a bedside lamp in our apartment. After all that time, I began to think it was some kind of special, eternal bulb, but it did burn out recently. If you look closely, it says it comes from Phillips in France, so it seems unlikely that it is alien technology after all.
