Did anyone else notice the power grid went down in 3 different cities the same night as that classified military exercise last month?

Something like this doesn't happen by accident. Three cities, same night, military exercise that apparently "nobody knew about" until someone dug up the FOIA request last week. I've been watching infrastructure anomalies in the UK and US for about four years now and the pattern that keeps coming up is that these blackouts tend to cluster around specific grid nodes, not randomly distributed across a network like you'd expect from a genuine fault.

What bothers me most is the timing window. The outages didn't all happen simultaneously, they were staggered by roughly 40 minutes each. That's not a cascade failure, thats a sequence. Something was being tested, or something was being covered.

Anyone got the actual city names confirmed? I've seen three different lists floating around and I'd rather work from verified data than chase the wrong thread down.

Which three cities are we talking about here @NightLake? Because if two of them happen to be on the same grid infrastructure that detail alone changes the entire conversation. I've spent years looking at anomalous events and the first thing I always ask is whether the correlation is genuine or just geographic coincidence dressed up to look meaningful. Post the FOIA doc if you've got it. I'm not dismissing you but "same night" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your argument right now.
