Thrift Store UFO
07/2020

We were out randonauting at about 10:30pm-11pm one night, and we ended up following coordinates to the parking lot of this thrift store. The exact coordinates took us to the side of the building where there are loading docks for trucks. We parked the car, got out, and walked to the exact spot where the coordinates said we should be. Nothing felt particularly strange, so I looked at him and asked, "So what now?" He replied, "I don't know," so we stood there, staring at the sky. It was a clear night, so you could see the stars, just about as many as you would expect to see in a city. We were only there for about 4 or 5 minutes when out of the right side of my vision I saw a super bright light in the sky. The light looked to be the shape of a four pointed star, like the classic depictions of what the North Star is supposed to look like. And when I say bright, I mean this thing looked LED. The light was moving across the sky from right to left, and relatively quickly, but smoothly. Nothing like a satellite or a plane, it didn't have any other blinking lights to it and it made no sound at all. I didn't look away from it. Out loud I said, "Is that a-" and as soon as the words left my mouth, the light stopped in its tracks and just hovered right above us. Again, without looking away I said, "It's a UFO," and the light blinked once as if confirming my belief. Then the light started drifting to the left again, blinked three times, and then vanished on the fourth blink as if it had never existed. I let go of my breath that I didn't realize I had been holding. A weird calm and quiet washed over us. I finally looked away from the sky over to him and said, "We just saw a UFO." He looked back at me and said, "Yes we did."

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?
