This.
Especially the early Microprose games.
I also endorse the idea of characters with the right skills being recruited after an alien encounter, a tech investigation thread that leads to understanding the enemy, as well as a surprising twist that (frex) suggests the actual aliens are merely riding within returned abductees.
Hope this is useful.
