DID UFOs CAUSE THE BLACKOUT?
Millions of people were without power on August 14th and 15th. The exact
cause of the Blackout as of now has not been found. I suggest that UFO
activity should be examined as one of the possible causes for the Blackout
and satellite data may provide proof of this possibility. The Canadian
Prime Minister claimed the blackout started with a lightening strike at a
power plant at Niagara, New York, but investigation has ruled out
lightening as the cause, since there are thousands of lightening strikes
each day and the system is well protected. The nation's fourth largest
investor-owned electric system, serving 4.3 million customers, First Energy
Corp., which is at the center of the blackout investigation says its
high-voltage line failures could not have triggered the event, claiming
there were numerous unusual power swings elsewhere in the Midwest hours
earlier. First Energy spokesman, Todd Schneider said, "What happened ....
is much more complex than a few tripped power lines in our system, the
utility's data showed unusual conditions, including strange fluctuations of
voltage, in the Midwest grid "as early as noon" Thursday, more than three
hours before the First Energy lines failed. The blackout hit its peak at
4:11 p.m. EDT. A federal task force of US and Canadian officials will
investigate the power blackout and determine how to keep it from happening
again. There was still no clear sense of what triggered the breakdown and
sweltering in summer heat from southern New England to Michigan. The
preliminary investigation focused on an electrical transmission loop that
encircles Lake Erie. No one was sure where the blackout was triggered,
although investigators have been intrigued by a series of interruptions on
five power lines in the Cleveland area during the hour before the massive
blackout began. The North America Electric Reliability Council states, "Two
minutes after the last of the Cleveland-area line problems there were power
swings noted in Canada and the Eastern US.'' They cautioned, "It's not
clear if these events caused the wider blackout or were a consequence of
other events.'' "We never anticipated we could have a cascading outage of
this magnitude and speed", said Gent, chief of NERC, the organization
charged with assessing the dependability of the nation's electric grids. If
the problem began in Ohio or Michigan, as speculated, it should never have
reached Manhattan, complained New York Gov. George Pataki, adding that the
grid was supposed to be designed to isolate such problems. It may be weeks,
before solid answers emerge, said Gent. The answer appeared to be somewhere
on what is called the Lake Erie Loop.
About the time power was disrupted, technicians noticed a stunning
development on the northern leg of the loop, some 300 megawatts of
electricity moving east abruptly reversed course and within seconds 500
megawatts of power suddenly were moving west. Electricity flows on its
easiest path, so it is believed the change in direction was caused by a
sudden reduction in power somewhere on the line at the western end of the
loop, investigators suggested. Michehl Gent states, "This was a big swing
back and forth, throughout the grid system, power levels began to
fluctuate. That caused generators and other systems to trip across the
region to protect equipment." More than 100 power plants, including 22
nuclear reactors in the US and in Canada, shut down, to protect themselves
against power surges, officials said. But, what triggered the shift of
electricity flow, and where?
This is where UFO intervention should be examined. Numerous UFO reports are
related to power outages. In last weeks Filer's Files #33, Minnesota - two
saucers knocked out electricity near the Iowa border on August 5, 2003, at
5:30 AM. The witness saw two saucer shaped UFOs that fried the solid
state-switching unit in his well. The local electrical provider came out
and found a problem with a transformer and also had to replace a section of
underground cable on the road where the witness saw the two saucers. George
Ritter who fought in Vietnam with the 5th Special Forces videotaped during
the Blackout large cylinder shaped UFOs near Fostoria, Ohio only thirty
miles from Lake Eire. Sam Sherman the President of Independent
International Pictures also had a UFO sighting in New Jersey on August 15,
2003, that is detailed later in these files. The average UFO has shown it
has the energy equivalent to a power station. They are frequently seen
hovering above power plants and power lines often when the power fails. I
contacted transmission line experts who admitted it was possible for large
amounts of electricity to be taken from these lines without their
knowledge.
Geomagnetic storms are another possibility but NASA's spaceweather site Dr.
Tony Phillips stated, "Readers have asked if solar activity could be
responsible for the widespread blackout in the eastern US and Canada. Not
likely. There were no strong solar flares or geomagnetic activity yesterday
to trigger the outage."
Many readers may remember the largest previous blackout in history, The
Great Northeast Blackout on November 9, 1965, when the power system failed
at 5:16 PM, and 30 million people in Ontario, New England, New Jersey, New
York, and Pennsylvania were without electricity for 13 hours. The event
started at the Ontario - New York border, near Niagara Falls when a single
transmission line from a Niagara Falls generating station tripped. Five
other transmission lines overloaded and tripped within 2.5 seconds,
isolating Niagara Station 1,800 MW generators that became unstable and shut
down. The Northeast Power System became unstable and failed within seconds.
A Niagara Falls faulty automatic relay device was blamed. However; there is
evidence that UFOs may have contributed to the power failures. A month
later in December, the grid systems failed in Texas and New Mexico, after
UFOs were observed.
Dr. James E. McDonald, a noted physicist submitted a report to the US House
Committee on Science and Astronautics on July 29, 1968, during Symposium on
Unidentified Flying Objects. He states,
"Then there are scattered instances in which substantial power distribution
systems have failed at or very near the time of observation of aerial
phenomena similar, broadly speaking, to one or another UFO phenomenon. I
have personally checked on several such instances and am satisfied that the
coincidence of UFO observation and power outage did at least occur. Whether
there is a causal connection here, and in which direction it may run,
remains quite uncertain. Even during the large Northeast blackout, November
9, 1965, there were many UFO observations, several of which I have
personally checked. I have inquired at the Federal Power Commission to
secure data that might illuminate the basic question of whether these are
merely fortuitous, but the data available are inadequate to permit any
definite conclusions. In other parts of the world there have, also, been
reports of system outages coincident with UFO sightings. Again, the
evidence is quite unclear as to causal relations."
The largest wave of UFO sightings occurred in 1965. From coast to coast
strange low flying objects were reported almost nightly by people of all
ages and walks of life. These sketches compiled by a NICAP researcher
represent a small sample of hundreds of investigated cases in which truly
unknown objects were judged to have been involved. As the year progressed
the number of reports rose dramatically. On the night of August 2,
thousands of people in 4 Midwestern states witnessed spectacular aerial
displays by large formations of UFOs. That same night a multicolored disc
was photographed in Tulsa, Oklahoma while several persons watched it
perform low altitude maneuvers. This picture was extensively analyzed,
pronounced authentic, and later published by Life magazine and many
newspapers. But the year's most incredible development was yet to come. On
the evening of November 9 hundreds of UFO sightings were reported
throughout the northeast. In New York State luminous objects were seen
hovering over 3 very significant locations. New York City, a Syracuse relay
station, and a Niagara Falls power plant.
Within moments of the Syracuse sighting 9 northeastern states and parts of
Canada experienced the largest power failure in history. Media accounts
including those by NBC news, The Associated Press, and some local papers
openly reported the UFO sightings and in a few cases suggested that they be
investigated as a possible cause of the blackout. However, before this
speculation could gain much momentum the Federal Power Commission announced
that the problem had been caused by a broken relay in a Canadian power
plant. This answer was accepted by the press and public and the UFO angle
was quickly forgotten. But, the official explanation was untrue.
Major Keyhoe reports that a private investigation by the utilities industry
later concluded that the relay had NOT broken, but had been tripped by a
huge, unexplainable surge of power. The only major paper which attempted to
follow up on a possible UFO connection with the outage was the Boston
Record America. But the paper's editors told a NICAP investigator that
shortly after publishing this account of the Niagara Falls sighting they
had been called by an Air Force officer at the Pentagon and severely
reprimanded for printing the story. In any event, the public at large
remained unaware of the presence of UFOs during the Great Northeast
Blackout.
Filer's Files urges Congress to investigate the possibility that UFOs
contributed to the Blackout. Videos and other evidence will be presented if
needed. See http://www.georgefiler.com/ Filer's Files #34 Views
MAINE - TROOPER CLAIMS UFO TAPS POWER LINES
Mort Twain writes: "I have always enjoyed and been fascinated by your
website. It seemed I should share some information. I went to college in
New Hampshire in 1965 when the big power blackout happened on the East
Coast. I was just going through the food line when all the food prep
machines stopped and the lights blinked. It felt very strange but the power
came right back on. However, I sensed something big had just happened so I
went back to my dorm room and found out that there had been a massive power
blackout on the East Coast. But, I found out more than that as I started
listening to local New England talk radio.
Reports were rampant immediately following the blackout that a fully
credible Maine State Trooper had reported seeing a UFO come down and tap
into a power line followed by the blackout. This story was all over the
news in New England and New Hampshire. I believe the trooper had been
interviewed or at least talked to and he was sticking by his story. But,
then as so often happens, this news story and its details vanished and was
never heard again in the subsequent discussions. No explanation was ever
made for the story itself. In short, the entire account was erased as if it
hadn't been the main topic of discussion at the time of the blackout itself
when cause and effect are most obvious. We're being told the current
reversed itself suddenly in the Lake Erie loop. In short, safeguards were
put into effect after the 1977 NYC blackout but the whole thing happened
again like in 1965, except bigger ... and again ... no one has a clue! Hope
I was able to offer some "illumination.". If there had been an EMP big
enough to knock the power grid down, all the cars and computers, etc, would
be dead too, I suspect. Thanks to Mort Twain
NEW YORK - ARE WE ALONE?
PINE BUSH, SHAWANGUNK -- Members of the United Friends Observer Society
don't think so! Rebecca Rothbaum, Poughkeepsie Journal writes: "Bill Wiand
doesn't know who they are or what they want." But he knows what he has seen
and it is enough to tell him there is life out there, from some far away
part of our universe or maybe even another dimension. ''I did recently have
a visitation and it terrified me,'' he said. ''It started like it always
does, with the noise in my ears and it just kind of rumbles through. I
couldn't move my body, but I could move my eyes and I knew the room was
filled with entities.'' Wiand was talking at the most recent meeting of the
United Friends Observer Society or UFOS, which describes itself as a
''support group for those who have seen UFOs, would like to see a UFO, or
have experienced contact with a UFO.'' ''We're here for anyone who needs us
to help them through their experiences,'' explained Sue Wiand, who with her
husband Bill and Newburgh couple Sue and John Mann, run UFOS. Sue Mann, who
was listening, added: ''Also, we're here for anyone who is interested. We
don't make any judgments.'' The group was founded 10 years ago in nearby
Pine Bush, Orange County, an area considered ground zero for UFO sightings
in the Northeast and made famous among UFO circles by the late Ellen
Crystall's 1994 book ''Silent Invasion: The Shocking Discoveries of a UFO
Researcher.'' snip
Bruce Cornet, who holds a doctoral degree in geology has been studying UFO
activity in the area for more than a decade, and has been trying to marshal
scientific documentation to back up his own experiences. As people were
filing into the meeting, he described to a handful of listeners what he
believes was his first alien abduction -- back in 1981 -- which he has
remembered only through hypnosis. ''They immobilized me and undressed me
and put this device on my genitals and took a sperm sample,'' Cornet
said. After overcoming his paralysis, Cornet said he tried to free himself.
But the aliens, whom he described as humanoid but ''looking like they were
2,000 years old, shriveled up, with jaundiced skin,'' stunned him with a
probe to his forehead. Cornet considers the possibility that many of the
UFOs spotted locally may in fact be military aircraft, flying in and out of
Stewart Airport. But like other UFO-ologists, Cornet is not totally
satisfied with that answer. ''What would the military be parading super
secret aircraft through farm fields for?'' he asked. snip

NEW JERSEY - SAM SHERMAN'S UFO SIGHTING
OLD BRIDGE - On August 15, 2003, Sam Sherman writes: " My wife and I were
driving east on Cottrell Road at 8:43 PM, and just as we approached Route
34, my wife noticed an odd lighted object hovering over some trees. From
the distance it looked like a football shaped object, self illuminated
fully (from within) by what looked like pure white light. I decided to
cross Route 34 and get closer to the object, which apparently was hovering
in place. After driving around a few blocks to get a clear view without
trees obstructing the view, I stopped the car and took my monocular from
the car trunk. With the monocular, I got a clearer view of the object. It
had a white strobing light on top and a similar light on the bottom. On the
side of the object I saw some darkened pattern, but could not make out what
it was. Seeing this pattern gave me the idea that it might have been an
advertising blimp, not a true UFO, but there are concepts against that.
First, I could see no pilot's cabin or gondola on the bottom of the object
and the bottom white strobing light was right on the bottom of the object
not under such a gondola. Second, if it were an advertising blimp the
message (dark part) on the side was impossible to read clearly and would
never have been noted by the unaided eye -- what would be the purpose of
such advertising? Third, if there were flashing lights on it to warn
planes, it would seem that those should be red not pure white. Fourth, the
object as seen appeared very similar to the British sighting as written in
the email post -- below. I have gone to the FAA website and downloaded the
Official Regulations for AIRSHIPS (BLIMPS)- They MUST have a RED and a
GREEN LIGHT. They MUST have a light at the FORWARD END and a light REAR
END. The object we sighted did not meet these regulations. My wife and I
are leaning to the opinion that what we observed was a non-terrestrial
craft of unknown origin. It may not have been a Football Shape but a
Lenticular (lens-shaped) object such as a flying disk -- of which we only
saw one side view making it look from that side as "football shaped".

FLORIDA - UFO FLIPS OVER HIGHWAY
TAMPA - Three businessmen were heading northbound on I-75 on August 1,
2003, around 9:30 PM. Off in the distance they saw a baby blue,, greenish
and white light, spaced apart but on the same aircraft. The passenger seat
says, " Do you see that?" I acknowledged, it was weird. A few seconds later
it was right over us coming from the west to the east toward the highway at
a pretty high speed. As soon as it was directly over us it flipped,
reversed and started heading west again finally shooting away. When
directly over us it could have been no more then 100 feet way. When it
changed directions, I knew something was up and just as it was starting to
head away I stuck my head out the window to catch a glimpse and could
actually see the craft. It was FLIPPING head over end as it turned! It was
a grayish dull metallic color, but its shape was hard to make out, but
probably an oval or saucer. It had a greenish baby blue light on one end
and a white light on the other. Me and my friend started yelling at each
other, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" Four other cars around me were hitting there
brake so they must have seen it too. Weird stuff. Thanks to Peter Davenport

ALABAMA - DAYLIGHT RECTANGLE UFO
BIRMINGHAM - Two drivers in two cars in phone contact were 15 miles south
of Birmingham on I-65 when they noticed a perfect rectangle shaped UFO,
like a flat non-reflective white 2-by-4 board. The huge object seemed
suspended in air. If it was a single-level passenger craft, the fuselage
average passenger height is twelve feet high. One witness asked the other,
"If he had noticed the bogey at 2 o'clock? The second witness, a Marine
Sgt. noted that although he knew of an airport close by, he had noticed the
object and that it was certainly not moving, nor was it a contrail. He
described it as Rectangle shape, like a flat non-reflective white 2-by-4,
that seemed suspended in air - - no movement. Thanks to Peter Davenport

OHIO - UFO CAUSES POWER OUTAGE AND RODS VIDEOTAPED
WEST CHESTER -- Mort Twain writes, "This afternoon I talked with researcher
Donnie Blessing by telephone concerning her investigation of a UFO sighting
on June 2, 2003, that dealt with a reported power outage while the UFO was
in relatively close proximity to the witness. Donnie has spoken with the
witness and is preparing a report and drawing to send to NUFORC. As we
discussed plans I noticed a yellowish bright light in the sky on August 1,
2003, out my bedroom window, at ten minutes to midnight. Then, I noticed it
wasn't moving like a plane would, so I watched it and it would move only
slightly, then be still again. This caught my attention, so I awakened my
husband and we got out our binoculars and when you looked through them you
could see a row of five lights, then almost two sets of two from the center
of the object almost like a cross. I watched it move very slowly over a
period of hours from 11:20 PM to 3:30 AM until it was out of sight. That's
what we saw. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC
CANADA - UFO FLAP SWEEPS ONTARIO
STRATFORD, ONTARIO -- UFOs have been particularly active in Canada's
eastern province of Ontario during the past week. The witness reported, "On
the evening of August 4, 2003, my friend and I were sitting in the hot tub
at 10 PM, in my backyard 67 miles west of Toronto and saw a single,
slow-moving light headed east." Then I noticed an airplane coming in fast,
approaching the light. It was as if he was giving chase, as he had to make
a big curve in his flight path to catch up and come up beside the light. It
looked as though he had passed to the left of the light, slowing down just
before passing. Then the two dropped out of sight due to our house."
NORTH BAY, ONTARIO -- Just 24 hours later, on Wednesday, August 6, 2003, at
12:32 AM, Canadian ufologist Brian Vike reported, the eyewitness and a
couple of close friends came to a full stop near Lake Nipissing, located
about 250 miles north of Toronto. The witness saw a really strange object
and pointed it out to his friends. Due to the object being so low, they
wondered if it was attached by a cable, wire, etc. because it It did not look like a star. The inside was red,
the top and bottom parts were green. Some parts were a metallic color. We
think it is a UFO. The experts should definitely analyze it." The Sirius
UFO Research Center in Istanbul has started an investigation on recent
sightings in the region. Thanks to Recep Demirci, YARIN National News,
8/13/03.
EDIRNE -- Four UFOs were spotted between August 2nd and 6th. Commerical
planes and F-16 s fighters were seen while the sighting occurred. The UFOs
were distinctly different. Their maneuver abilities were much greater than
those made by manned aircraft. Thanks to The Sirius UFO Center Turkey
