Something Electrical Happened In My Car and Cell Phone This Morning! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1579668 United States 12/05/2012 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Happened to my wife last week - she was driving and had her phone connected to the blue tooth and heard a loud pop come through the radio, the instrument panel went dead and then booted back up and her phone did the same. 3 days ago my Navigation system screen started acting up and would not display. Had to turn off the car and turn it back on again several times to correct it. It's been working fine every since. And then yeaterday - same car, my driver's side door locks clicked while I was driving down the road and when I stopped the inside latch wouldn't let me open the door - had to roll down the window and pull the handle from the outside. Today it worked fine again. Bizarre |

At the same time the car ahead of us slammed on the brakes we almost hit em. it was pretty weird. It happened in broad day light. Turns out about 15 people had the same thing happen to them. We never knew exactly what happened. nothing like it since has been reported. back then I didnt know much about EMP I was only 7 lol but i thought ALIENS!!! lol who knows, could have been a lot of things thanks for sharing! _______________________ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26844291 United States 12/05/2012 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weird because my coffee maker was going on and off this morning around the same time as your event. I was about to make some coffee and the light indicator started fading in and out like it was an electrical short. so I turned it off. I went to use the bathroom, and my bathroom light was flickering too. My coffee maker is doing just fine now. |

I have never felt it before. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 22054163 United States 12/05/2012 09:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a car one that really was not my type of car. But I bought it and paid the most ridiculous price for it. Off this very shrewd miserly rich man that I absolutely love. His heating system had torn up and he needed to replace it in the house so I paid him what he asked for the car. He could not drive and if he went any where I would have to drive him. There was a remote to the car he did not give it to me I never did see him ever even have one. I was off to another location actually another state tied up working there. The old man sent every body in his house up the walls demanding them find the remote. This was like a year after he sold me the car. He kept swearing up and down he had on and for them to find it. They tore the house apart through boxes upon boxes of stored items. Even his antique storage. And they did finally find it one of them brought it to me saying he was going nuts wanting me to have it. I would always go by his place and take him like Easter baskets with little bendy plush rabbits, and plastic carrots filled with skittles that he absolutely love. That way he would have them by his chair and he could handle them with only one hand. And the ants would not come after him like having bagged candy left open. Then one night while driving with my husband in the passenger seat. All the doors in the car started locking and unlocking really fast very fast and did not even pause or break in the up and down locking. Then the dash dimmed down and back up down and up down and up with the doors locking and unlocking. The dash could be dimmed but not by its own self. We were heading through four lanes of traffic under an over pass that actually had an off exist flow of traffic coming off it into the highway and one going off the highway up on it. It was late dark and raining with heavy traffic. Then all of a sudden us ignoring this door and dash stuff I hear a sound by my left leg under the dash. Exactly when it it dawned on me what that sound was up come flying the hood of the car into our windshield. We could not see anything in front of us and the speed was not a 25MP zone. We made it out of this with out hitting any one and being able to get off the highway and shut back down the hood. Yet that hood could not release but so far then you would have to manually released it after that. The truck lid worked of hydraulics. I thought this was way to unusual the hood did not work by electronics. I thought about the little old man he had passed away but I still thought about him. He was way to sharp of mind and way to good hearted to not be connected to if you were around him any. We actually were close at heart to one another. I went on to work and worked the shift when I got home and got in the bed my uncle come over and told me.. My mom was on the phone tore all to pieces because she got up and found my dad dead in his bed. I to this day find this very coincidental. |

I know an electrical current hit me in my car this morning. I wonder if while we are going thru the interstellar cloud, that more of these things will start effecting our electronics? |

Da fuq User ID: 16258666 United States 12/06/2012 01:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My computer just went to a gray screen and shut off today around 9 this morning PST. I had thought I fried it or something and went to unplug and it still was humming like it was recieving power somehow. Never since owning this computer has it done something like that. Is this part of the DNA change? Strange indeed |
