UFOS at close sight: The Great Northeast Blackout of 1965Home Cette page en français The Great Northeast Blackout:On November 9, 1965, the largest blackout in history occurred. Thenortheast power system broke up 4 seconds after the initial disturbance,and 30 million people were without electricity for as long as 13 hours.The cause of the event is obviously of some interest.THE EVENTS:The Great Northeast Blackout of November 9, 1965 began at 5:16 p.m., nearthe end of an otherwise typical workday. The event started at the Ontario- New York border, near Niagara Falls. A single transmission line from theNiagara generating station tripped (opened). Within 2.5 seconds, five othertransmission lines became overloaded and tripped, isolating 1,800 MW ofgeneration at Niagara Station. After their isolation, the generatorsbecame unstable and tripped off-line. The northeast power system becameunstable and separated into isolated power systems (islands) within 4seconds. Outages and islanding occurred throughout New York, Ontario,most of New England, and parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Mostislands went black within 5 minutes, due to imbalances between generationand load (generator overspeed/underspeed tripping). The massive blackoutleft 30 million people without electricity for as long as 13 hours. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:Eight states - Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire,New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont - lost power inthis power failure. Although a faulty automatic relay device ata plant near Niagara Falls is blamed, there is evidence that UFOscan cause power failures in the national electricity grid systems,although this may only be a side effect rather than an intentionalact. In December of the same year, the grid systems failed in NewMexico and Texas following UFO sightings in those areas. MCDONALD'S STATEMENT ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS:As submitted to the House Committee on Science and Astronauticsat July 29, 1968, Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects,Rayburn Bldg., Washington, D.C., by James E. McDonald."Then there are scattered instances in which substantial powerdistribution systems have failed at or very near the time ofobservation of aerial phenomena similar, broadly speaking, toone or another UFO phenomenon. I have personally checked onseveral such instances and am satisfied that the coincidenceof UFO observation and power outage did at least occur. Whetherthere is a causal connection here, and in which direction itmay run, remains quite uncertain. Even during the large Northeastblackout, November 9, 1965, there were many UFO observations,several of which I have personally checked. I have inquiredat the Federal Power Commission to secure data that mightilluminate the basic question of whether these are merelyfortuitous, but the data available are inadequate to permitany definite conclusions. In other parts of the world, therehave also been reports of system outages coincident with UFOsightings. Again, the evidence is quite unclear as tocausal relations."The largest wave of UFO sightings occurred in 1965. From coast to coast,strange low flying objects were reported almost nightly by peopleof all ages and walks of life. These sketches compiled by a NICAPresearcher represent a small sample of hundreds of investigated casesin which truly unknown objects were judged to have been involved. Asthe year progressed the number of reports rose dramatically. On thenight of August 2 thousands of people in 4 Midwestern states witnessedspectacular aerial displays by large formations of UFOs. That same nighta multicolored disc was photographed in Tulsa Oklahoma while severalpersons watched it perform low altitude maneuvers. This picture wasextensively analyzed, pronounced authentic, and later published byLife magazine and many newspapers. But the year's most incredible development was yet to come. On theevening of November 9 hundreds of UFO sightings were reportedthroughout the northeast. In New York State luminous objects wereseen hovering over 3 very significant locations. A Niagara Falls power plantA [Syracuse] relay stationand the heart of New York CityWithin moments of the Syracuse sighting 9 northeastern statesand parts of Canada experienced the largest power failure inhistory. Media accounts including those by NBC news, TheAssociated Press, and some local papers openly reported theUFO sightings and in a few cases suggested that they be investigatedas a possible cause of the blackout. However, before this speculationcould gain much momentum the Federal Power Commission announced thatthe problem had been caused by a broken relay in a Canadian powerplant. This answer was accepted by the press and public and theUFO angle was quickly forgotten. But, the official explanationwas untrue.Major Keyhoe reports that a private investigationby the utilities industry later concluded that the relay had NOTbroken, but had been tripped by a huge, unexplainable surge ofpower. The only major paper which attempted to follow up on apossible UFO connection with the outage was the Boston RecordAmerica. But the paper's editors told a NICAP investigator thatshortly after publishing this account of the Niagara Falls sightingthey had been called by an Air Force officer at the Pentagon andseverely reprimanded for printing the story. In any event, thepublic at large remained unaware of the presence of UFOs duringthe great northeast blackout. CONCLUSION:There is a high number of reliable witness reported UFOs. Pilots did.Pictures were taken.Was there any physical effect caused by a UFO? We have to conclude thatto cut 30 million people off from electrical power over 8 states is a sufficientphysical evidence.Reporters, technicians, ufologists and scientists who investigatedthe black-out understood its true cause. But a massive concerted cover-up todiscard the UFO as a cause of this physical evidence of the UFOs. Feedback | Top | Back | Forward | Map | List | HomeThis page was last updated on April 21, 2001 |
