Start Here: What Is The Liminal Record

In March of 1990, Belgium scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to chase something its own radar could not explain. More than thirteen thousand people saw it. The government admitted, on the record, that it had no answer.In 1979, a sheriff’s deputy named Val Johnson was driving a Minnesota back road when something hit his car. Forty-five years later, no one can tell you what it was.What do we do with the things that are documented, witnessed, and still unexplained?That question is why The Liminal Record exists, and this short episode is the best place to start.
