Bonfire Night UFO

Walsall
11/1998

I was around 9 years old at the time and my family had some people round to celebrate bonfire night. After setting off fireworks in our garden everyone went back inside to get food but I wanted to stay for 5 more minutes to watch all the fireworks in the distance. Something caught my eye that didn’t look like any firework I’ve ever seen: a number of outlined triangular bright white lights mixed with refracting rainbow glimmers appeared that formed the shape of a star and then collapsed in on themselves, it was so beautiful and I was so excited I ran back inside to tell my family what I’d seen. I described in great detail what I’d seen to them “I think it was a shooting star!!” (I’d never seen a shooting star before so in my head I’d pictured something from a cartoon to compare it to), they all looked at me incredulously and got on with what they were doing after laughing and saying “Must have been a lovely cluster of fireworks!” I know what I saw and I’ve never forgotten it.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
