Rod-like Object

We were returning back home, to Cluj-Napoca. We were on the highway and I noticed that we were approaching a weird object. It was on the right side of the windshield. It looked almost transparent and it was floating at a height of aprox. 1.5 meters - it would be almost as tall as our car. My eyes were waiting for it to move since it looked a lot like a thin plastic bag from a distance. But it didn’t. It stood perfectly still. It looked like a semi-transparent rod, having a structure similar to a DNA string and it was about 30 cm long. It just stood there, vertically, perfectly still, as we were approaching it. It felt unreal. I wanted to warn my husband about it (since he obviously didn’t notice it) but before I was able to open my mouth we passed it. Or through it, I’m still not sure. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. For a split second I was sure it was going to hit the corner of the windshield, I was ready to hear a noise, but there was no sound. Like there was nothing there. I felt crazy, everything felt unreal. After a few seconds, I managed to tell my husband what I saw asking me if he believed me. To my amazement, he did believe me. Furthermore, he kept describing the object I saw better than myself. It turned out that he read an article about these things (which are called flying rods/skyfish). Apparently other people have seen these things too. I wasn’t crazy. However, I don’t even know what was more weird: what I saw, or the fact that my husband knew exactly what I was talking about. Did anyone else encounter any if these flying rods?

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?
