Vanishing UFO

Porto Alegre
11/2023

I was hitchhiking in a car, on a route near the city's airport (Salgado Filho International Airport). I was gazing at the sky, looking for airplanes, knowing it was common to spot them in the area. Everything happened very quickly. I spotted a large, metallic object at a moderate altitude in the sky. Initially thinking it was an airplane on its descent, I tried to identify the outline of wings, nose, and engines, but there simply were none. The object had a different shape from anything I had ever seen; it was round like a ball, and I couldn't discern what was the front or the back. I spent about 5 seconds staring at it, attempting to comprehend what it was, feeling my heart pounding in my chest as my mind raced for rational answers. That's when it simply VANISHED. It disappeared into the blue sky, like those magic tricks where an object disappears right before your eyes. I tried to convince myself it might be a drone, but it would be impossible given its size and altitude. I spent the rest of the day in contemplation, trying to find logical answers, but I couldn't. The situation is recent, and I find myself constantly reflecting on it. Do they know that I saw them?

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?
