They are talking about a flash fiction contest. 500 word stories. And the prompt? Well, your first sentence should contain an outrageous, inexplicable situation. Then deal realistically with that for the rest of your 500 words. You don't need to explain the situation, and probably can't, but make the story good!

There's a short video, and more about the contest (WNIJ, in DeKalb?)

But for the fun of it, even if you don't want to enter their contest, go ahead and spin a story. 500 words, with an incredible beginning.

After all, once you eliminate the ordinary and the improbable, whatever is left, no matter how unlikely, is impossible? Isn't that what Mycroft Holmes told his brother?

Write!
