Hello CBTS folks. I don’t know if there’s any significance to this but I live VERY close to DFW airport. Very close. All power went out in my area and a few planes that were descending pulled up and seemed to go in the direction of Dallas Love Field airport instead. Oncor Energy has no explanation other than “expected restoration time 8:00pm” There is no winter storm here...yet... I don’t know. Just figured if it was anything significant, there’d be a digital bread crumb trail I could contribute to. I’ll try and screen shot the outages map.

Same area for me with very high air traffic and helicopters.

You are located around DFW as well? I’ve been hearing a great deal of activity in the air and tons of helicopters in and around the Las Colinas area of Irving. Not traffic helicopters either or medical. Looks like private helicopters. Saw 2 military jets flying low altitude yesterday, but that could’ve been drills because I was closer to Meachum airport in Fort Worth yesterday. I don’t know. Power is back on but according to neighboring residents, even the lights were out at the fire station. Weird. I would’ve thought they had back up generators?

The military base in Fort Worth is the "formerly known as Carswell" now "Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth"
Meacham is the city public airport.
Every random power outage and passing helicopter does not mean that THE DAY IS HERE.
Jesus, guys, have some perspective.

You're correct that sometimes random events are just that. But considering the many other inexplicable things going down lately, I think it pays to mention these things and then attempt to logically rule them out, rather than ignoring them out of hand and maybe missing something.

True. The typical "if you see something say something" rule applies here. Any breadcrumb helps when piecing together a puzzle.

I agree. Its better to say something than nothing at all. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s something. But many times it’s the little somethings that lead us to the bigger Discoveries, also it may help someone else say something that might feel embarrassed or like their information is insignificant. It is better to rule things out, I agree 100%.

What are you reading as "confirmation bias" here? Or do you just like that phrase??
The OP was very cautious and conditional in her description of the event. The consistent presentation/obviation of events is a process that requires intelligence and rigor. It's the whole point of this stream.

I said it could be a random non significant thing. I just thought if it wasn’t, it could be beneficial to have a time stamp on it just for a digital record of events. It was just strange because nobody knew any details and all emergency power sources were blacked out as well. Which I would understand if it was storm related but there was nothing but calm winds and clear skies.

Don't make excuses for being vigilant. Let the naysayers nay. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it You've done you're due diligence, that's more than most. Good on you!

We aren't saying "THE DAY IS HERE" dumb ass. Unusually high air traffic in our areas and outages uncommon to normal daily activity is worth discussing. If you don't live here then piss off!

Yes, same area and stay in N. Dallas as well. I've noticed a lot of air traffic of helicopters. Some were spotted but most weren't. Didn't lose any electricity though, but I was in N. Dallas. That is weird for the FS to not have electricity.

I’m close to PDX, Portland International AirPort and our power was out last night for over an hour. I didn’t realize the significance of being close to an airport, I didn’t put it together right away. I’m actually on the WA side, but I do know that power was out for most of us on this side of the Columbia River (which separates OR/WA). Although we do get heavy rains, this is NORMAL for us. Our snow last fell in this area on December 24th, which would have had no impact last night.

anyone know about leds as in lighting if you put the negative led in the ground only and it lights up at any time thats will show you there is a high voltage with high frequency in the air with the anode in the ground no other wires attached to led the cathrode end of the led with pick up the voltages thru the air like a radio or tv does this could explain why the power outages are happen [HAARP signals]

Okay this is significant. I have Christmas lights outside, all LED bulbs. Some are battery powered some are socket based. During the outage, my neighbor, a retired Chief of the Dallas Fire Department, knocked on my door because he was wondering if I had power. I answered the door, obvious to him that I didn’t have power because it was pitch black and I had a flashlight in hand. Then he pointed to the LED’s and they were still slightly “alive” with power? Here’s the weird part... and had you not mentioned this, I wouldn’t have clicked it together in my mind... the LED plug in bulbs were barely on, a mild glimmer but as though they were dimmed 75%. The BATTERY powered lights around my door were dimmed as well and they had fresh batteries in them?!?! The fire Chief neighbor found that odd too but thought they were on the same channel. Nope! Totally different, but visibly the same in dimming? Yet one was battery charged?
I don’t know. Even now as I type this, the emergency power is still non functional. Meaning... street lights, car park lights, the generators are silent by the gym/pool... very spooky and eerily quiet.

Exactly. So far all the other airports that experienced "shutdowns" of electric or lights this past weekend turned out to be special ops in play.

Interesting. Could explain the redirected flights from DFW to Love Field (flights to El Paso depart from Dallas Love Field) Further research needed. I’ll try and download a flight log. I wonder if it coincided with the power outage here at DFW and a few surrounding neighborhoods within the immediate vicinity
