Truck Bed UFO

Big Rapids Twp
09/2020

A bunch of friends were driving to go to a fire out at the powerlines. We had too many people so me and my buddy laid down in the bed of the truck. It was super cold in the back of the truck, we talked a little but spent more time just admiring the stars. I love space and the sky and it was a super clear night, I was hoping we would get far enough away from the city to see the Milky Way. It wasn't that late yet, only like 10:00 or 10:30. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, this brighter light appeared among the other stars. It was a single light, but bigger and brighter than the other stars. It was too far away to have any idea what shape it was, but it was huge, at least comparable to a plane. And this light was not there, and in the blink of an eye, it was just there. I was skeptical at first, did I just not notice that big of a star? So I pointed it out and asked "Do you see that?" They looked up, and then this light started moving around the sky. I mean our jaws hit the ground, and we turned and made eye contact in disbelief. I remember them asking "What is that?" I could barely speak. They say "That can't be a plane..." I agreed with them "It's too fast, and look at it turn and zig-zag all over, planes can't move like that." So I ask... "Are we looking at a UFO right now?" They agreed, neither of us had any other possible explanation. We proceeded to lay in the bed of this truck watching this light as it continued flying around in ways and speeds that both of us couldn't believe for a total of maybe 4 or 5 minutes before it vanished, the light just went out or disappeared. For perspective: I have seen many drones, but they are not this big, bright, or fast. I have been to the Battle Creek, Michigan Air show "Field of Flight" and while they do amazing things with those planes, the only plane that could be compared to these speeds is the F-22 Raptor. Even that plane can't move across the sky like this light 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?
