Been following this one quietly for a few days. The timing is hard to dismiss - three separate grid failures within about a six hour window on the same night isn't just coincidence, that's a pattern. And the "weather balloon" explanation was rolled out so fast it felt rehearsed.
What I keep coming back to is the EVP work I was doing that night. Had a session running in my kit room and picked up some genuinely odd interference on the recordings, frequency spikes I havent been able to explain. Could be nothing. Could be related to whatever was putting stress on the grid.
Anyone got the actual city names confirmed? I've seen two versions of the list floating around and they don't match, which is either sloppy reporting or someone muddying the water deliberately. Would be good to cross-reference with any other anomaly reports logged that night - weather, seismic, radio interference, anything really.
If you've got documentation rather than just news links, post it up. Lets actually look at this properly.
