thinking seer
our base line which maintains visible structure in our material dimension is the static electric field (flower of life design)
if that locally flickered of /on, as it could

for a fraction of a second or so outside would be invisible to our sense of sight while our own internal self generating electric field maintained our senses, including sight, to witness it
we may sense the fluctuation as in feel it and or see it

the result would be what you and the poster are saying

local could mean all earth or parts of it linked to the same cause, whatever that may be
thus different locations simultaneously same affect noticeable to sensitive personalities
