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. :P

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

lend him one of yours sob.

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

My squaddies ain't available to be rented out ... well, not for this anyway. :D
-
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. :D

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?
-
Surveillance aircraft would not (typically) be transmitting on approach.
The solar flare maybe? Some sort of lightning?
Have you found yourself sculpting your mashed potatoes since then?
-
Have any of you been suffering from nosebleeds?
-
Three words for you:
INDIAN BURIAL GROUND

are they incandecent or florecent?
if they are incandecent you got problems.

I think everyone is forgetting one minor detail when describing this as some sort of EM pulse or emission from military aircraft: the events are localized to his child's room. Were every appliance in the house to act wacky, all the lights in the house to turn on and off, the wife's mechanical lover to come to life (or his for that matter ;)), the tvs to turn on, etc. all at the same time then perhaps that explanation would suffice.
Who ya gonna call....
or you should have your kid's head checked for small alien devices that could be mistaken for brain tumors...
-
LMAO I can't believe so many of you mo-mos believe in ghosts! Anyone with half a brain knows UFOs are the only thing that can cause electrical devices to spontaneously come on.
:rolleyes:

wait a sec.. you saying that toys without batteries are turning themselves on?
If so, id suggest you go to that base and ask them about it.. any EM powerful enough to do that would definetely affect the health of your family.
But...it only happens in your kids room... thats really freaky.
EM from mil. craft would hit your whole house.... and if it affects devices that dont need to be plugged to the wall then that rules out critters chewing your cables.
You got a spook.

Quick, wrap your heads in tin foil while there's still time!!!!!
Just to be safe, wrap the whole room, no, no, the whole house in tin foil!!! The voices........ the voicesssss............. make them stop....................

On the back of your kid's Krusty doll... make sure the switch is set to "Good" and not "Evil".

Can't really confirm that it didn't happen in the rest of the house, since when I heard a ruckus in the kids room it's the first place I went. Needless to say after that I was abit...distracted? So can't really say if their was a jet overhead at the time.
Anyone who's lived on or near a military base knows how quickly you get accustomed to the racket. Like I said we always had television problems when we had a normal antenna. It was just the lights and noisemakers, no motors. Not many of their toys are motorized though. The lighting would of been mostly LED's on the toys, umm...the fishtank light which is flouresenct and their room light which is halogen and blew out.
-
The emissions are already starting to affect your thought processes. You're starting to make simple spelling mistakes!

This is true! I saw it in a documentary where this kid's toys all turn on, the stereo starts playing Johnny Mathis, the kid runs outside and gets abducted by Aliens, only to be let go in Wyoming a few days later.
My advice, start heading towards Devils Tower... that is the picture you can't get out of your mind..

do you get an almost irresistible urge to beach yourself ?

A solar flare is an explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in twisted magnetic fields (usually above sunspots) is suddenly released. Flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to x-rays and gamma-rays.
I think you may find your ghost here.

if it was aa solar flare it would have hit the whole house not just the kids room!
SUNDIVER was you kid in the room at the time?
What time of day was it?
-
Is your kid named Damien or Lucifer? :)

Has to agree here....break out the tinfoil. seriously though are u sure your kids arnt doing all of this. My kids have this amazing ability to take ANYTHING apart to BREAK everything and to make sure if I turn somthing on (to include my wife) its garunteed to be at a volume thats definatly gonna hurt my ears and annoy me.
-
Mice.:D

I used to work on mobile ground radar, the antennas were relatively close to the ground. Used to freak the controllers out by holding a fluorescent light tube up in my hand. The Antenna would cause it to light up everytime it swept by.
Still, I don't think any a/c has a radar powerful enough to "turn on" battery powered toys that have no batteries.
-
Not real safe to be directly in front of a radar transmitter.
-
There is no need to panic- the only reason the UFOs are here is to pick up the Bigfoots. If your wife's vibrators work extra hard tonight then consider it a gift from the Aliens.
-
Its just swamp gas. And the new one they came out with infrasound.

Depends on the power. Some will cook you pretty quick while others are harmless.

Agreed, a power burst with that much energy would have burned many things out and would have been big news
To power up battery powered items with no batteries would certainly burned them and everything in the area out.
this is T.F.H. stuff here
-
I'll be damned if I can come up with an explanation for that one...
You've got some spooks in your house buddy...

Clearly, its the underpants nomdes.
Step 1: Collect underpants.......
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit!!

I live right under the north approach to Carswell, and never once has low flying aircraft caused my ligts to go bonkers.
I got accustomed to the racket within 3 months of living here. Considering I've lived in the same place for 17 years, you kinda get to the point where you can not only tell where a plane is, but what type and how many. :D

The Cure all make you feel better explains nothing explination:
SUN SPOTS
its gotta me it. Yup i'm convinced:D
actually I used to install microwave home television cable, and the company i worked for was low budget to put it lightly. Whenever a customer wanted to know why there cable picture was so chitty on some days my explenation was allways "sun spots" than i'd quickly change the subject.

So sundiver, has anything else happened?
