UFO and Military Choppers

My best friend's family had a cabin on Roger's Lake, almost directly across from the military installation (the base that's not a base we joke) that's "secretly" nestled in the woods. On the weekends her large family and various friends would come up to "camp" and then go home during the week to work. Sometimes, on a whim, we would decide to stay out the week and enjoy the isolation, just the 2 of us or sometimes another friend or so from school. One night we laid out on the dock after it came to light that she wasn't aware you could see satellites and the space station with the naked eye. I would point to a steady moving object and she would try to follow my hand and find the same object and then she would try to spot her own. She then pointed out across the lake and asked, is that one? I followed her hand and at first said yes, to a light that was moving steadily even though it was bigger and brighter than the rest. Then it stopped, made several irratic changes in direction, zoomed all the way to the left of the lake and then seemingly towards us. I noticed the tops of the trees above and around us were moving as if there was a wind and suddenly 2 military helicopters that looked like Airwolf zoomed directly over us, close enough we could read the fine print on their underbelly, straight towards the erratic light which immediately took off straight upwards. The helicopters immediately split up and began flying grid formation style with intense spotlights that lit up the treetops across the lake so clearly we could see the tops of the trees swaying heavily. We immediately jumped up and ran inside and locked ourselves in. We could hear loud speaker voices now and then but it was very apparent they were searching for someone or something, they believed was on the ground, until the wee hours of the next morning.

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?
