Author Topic: Rationale Explanation Sought. (Read 1847 times)

As to why every electronic device in my childrens room would all turn on at exactly the same time. As well as the room lights flashing on and off. Now, I know for a fact some of these toys did not have batteries in them at the time and some of the devices needing to be plugged into an outlet were not at the time.

We DO live on the Southern approach to Carswell Joint Reserve Base so at one time or another during a month we see every model aircraft in US service passing a few hundred feet over our heads? Could EM interference or generation do such a thing?

Maybe a AWACS on short final? I can't imagine that this is the case since it's never happened before but I'm still looking for the rationale explanation before assuming we have a small child haunting my childrens room.

It's a poltergeist. Get yourself a freaky short fat woman, quickly!

Believe me SOB that explanation is more comforting then thinking these low-flying fighter pukes are generating that level of emissions.

I mean before we switched to cable everytime they'd fly over we'd lose television signal but there's a large difference between that and what happened last night.

do you live next to high power lines?

Nope. Not even close. We've got a substation about three miles away? Suffer from occasional transformers blowing a coupla times a year.

Cold War surveillance aircraft stationed in Alaska used to carry these really powerful radar arrays mounted along the sides of their fuselage. Soviet pilots would be afraid of approaching these aircraft from the starboard side (where the radar beamed) because of the radioactive emissions coming from the plane's radar side. Your emission fears may have some grounds.

Well yeah, but I at least assumed they'd have some proceedure for shutting this crap down before going on short final over a heavily populated area?

I mean you can turn on a hair dryer or blender and generate EM for what? A 50-75 yard radius. But we're talking ALOT more current to do this I'd think..

how long do these devices stay on?
Do you hear a plane over head when this happens?

I think it is your kid, better call in an Excorsist.

I'd start by checking to see if my neigbors experienced anything simular.

as to what it could be, I've no idea. waht kinds of things came on? lights, motors, all of the above?

lights could be explained by emissions, I think. (have you ever put a florescent bulb in a microwave? it lights right up.)

sounds a lot like the 'haunting in georgia' show from friday night discovery chanel

Has your kid been sucked into the TV yet?

See any Black helicoptors?
