Angels can be encountered without our realising

Hebrews 13:2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
This is clearly a reference back to Abraham and Lot back in Genesis 18 and 19 and is intended to encourage hospitality. However, it does suggest that it is possible to meet an angel and not know, for them to appear incognito. Perhaps the idea is of the stranger brining the angels with him.
