Serious thread: Multiple witnesses to 'time skip' on M6 - November

This is going to sound absolutely mad but I'm posting because we need to discuss what happened. My wife and I were driving back to Manchester from Birmingham on November 16th around 3:30 PM. Quite busy motorway, lots of traffic.

We were between junctions 10 and 9 and I remember looking at the clock on the dashboard: 3:47 PM. Then I was getting off at junction 8, which should've taken about 20 minutes. But when I checked the clock it was 3:52 PM. Five minutes.

What's strange is my wife experienced the same thing. And when I mentioned it on a work call the next day, two colleagues admitted they'd had nearly identical experiences on the M6 around the same time, different days but same stretch of motorway. One bloke lost nearly an hour.

Theory: This stretch of the M6 might be a location where the simulation code has glitched, causing localized temporal distortion. I know how it sounds. But I'd rather explore it openly than pretend nothing happened.

This is fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. Temporal glitches have been reported at various locations globally - usually near water or electromagnetic anomalies. The M6 runs through some interesting geological terrain. Have you checked if there are any power stations or unusual infrastructure in that stretch?

Could easily be explained by cognitive bias and traffic patterns. You're focusing on the clock because something felt wrong, so you remember specific times. Your colleagues might be experiencing the same psychological effect after you suggested it. Not everything is a glitch - sometimes it's just human perception being unreliable.

If this is real - and I'm not saying it is or isn't - we need to document it properly. Keep a log. Post the exact coordinates. Get more people to report experiences from that location. Anecdotal evidence is weak but patterns matter.

I've read about missing time on the A303 near Stonehenge and on various Scottish roads. There might be a pattern with ancient sites or ley lines. Not saying your M6 experience is connected but it's worth investigating whether location matters.
