Holy Frick! Check that out! I saw what you're talking about. This huge explosive event happened on 12/5 about 8 p.m. to the "right" of the sun. Whew! What the HECK caused that? Does that timing coincide with all of these power pole fires? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25512421 It doesn't matter what the temperature is. There is an accumulation of dust on the high poles. When it's a dry season, usually the power company will hose down the poles to wash the build up off the poles...Evidently, this did not happen. The fog is moisture...We all know that water is a conductor of electricity...Right? So, build up of dust along with fog causes arcing...there is your fire. using your logic this would happen every time it rains.i have lineman friends also,they are only going to repeat what they are told. |

Power outages sweeping across Central Texas The sun reaches all parts Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22342469 And if this were due to solar activity Very large parts of the Infrastructure would be on fire. Solar activity doesn't just Touch Texas you know. Overvolting or arson Can explain this without the Kooky theory that the sun only fries Texas. I hear you AC but let's also keep an open mind for all possibilities. they have been spraying the crap out of Arizona for the last week. day and night. The entire sky has been covered with chemtrails with no break. So we really aren't getting the sun....otherwise maybe we would be seeing this also. just thinking out loud... Well, what you're saying kind of makes sense. If they're spraying some kind of corrosive material, that would weaken the structure of the transformers, and they "blow." Create power outages all over, test the system, or weaken the system, bring down the infrastructure without anyone realizing it is intentional. Makes sense to me! |

It isn't my logic! I am repeating what I was told by a professional. I posted earlier that I would make a call and I did. That's the best I can do. It makes sense, doesn't it? I'm just a freaking girl, what the hell do I know? I do know after looking at that sun video that something is way wrong...I've been watching solar activity for a few years and have never seen THAT before. But a CME would not just affect Texas. That much is a fact. Also, I've been hearing loud booms in Ohio. I do think something is going on...something leading up to something, lol, but I don't know what... As far as the poles, I think it's unusual, but my friends husband said it's a matter of no rain and the power company not hosing down the poles during an excessively dry season. I'm going to take his word for that. oh, and BRIEF how bout a beer to go along with that sammich??? :-0 When in doubt, be kind. When you are certain, be even more so.

Power outages sweeping across Central Texas Hmm....sink holes every where...now power lines catching fire all over... add to this last night I was visiting a friend who has large windows with no curtains watching TV facing her double windows and this out of the blue slow moving descending sphere with a band of lights growling like a bear not helicopter or silent came at an angle and looked like it landed behind the buildings the next block over like where this assisted living is in a small town with NO airport. It stopped its sound about the time it "landed" and no explosion was heard.We ran to the window to look seeing it was not a plane or helicopter to see better but it went down behind the buildings on the next block.There's a couple over there are expecting a UFO to rapture them or ick up expected by or before 12-21. They've been having meetings on it.My friend decided it was definitely some "spaceship" but it looks like my friends got a defective relief system as it sure was on same extremely slow descent after popping up out of nowhere. We were debating taking the elevator down and walking over through the alley but decided it was too cold. We talked over 30 minutes on how freaky close this fly/land was and then of a sudden here it comes on a back track going back up at some 30 degree or so angle but this time totally dead silent so no helicopter which this is a SMALL town here down town area.Then it passes our windows and zoom it pops way up and totally vanishes right in front of us.This is Montana and I looked it up and it appears this same type of sphere not saucer thing has been being seen around here.It has a band of blue lights around its center like cop lights coloring flashing like that. My friend's apartment is on the second floor and faces the bank and it went down like where the assisted living home former old hospital parking lot is by the alley down from the bank.It sounded terrible coming in like growling. We wondered if it was going to crash but it just stopped. No explosion or anything or loud sound. We watched in case any off worlders came on our street we were going to go out to say welcome did they need help or something.As their space ship needed a tune up or something. My friend wanted to bring them a beer to welcome them and have it as a back up if things got strange for herself. then on leaving but not people got picked up in any tracker and it was a sphere and blipped out after getting to height it wanted which was not very high nor far away either.And no we had not been drinking. We had watched the old Home Alone and Polar Express on Disney. |
