Garage Door Openers Stop Working On Entire Missouri Block

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that no one knows what exactly is going on at Westhampton View Court. The garage door openers at all five homes on the court stopped working shortly after Christmas.

“It’s a weird, weird thing,” Joe Sullivan told the Post-Dispatch. “And the timing for it all to go haywire for everybody at the same time can’t be coincidence, right?”

The clue is "shortly after Christmas."

Somebody in the neighborhood got a Wifi router that is spewing out RF at frequencies it should not.

If the homes were all built at the same time - and garage doors installed within a week or two - the remote batteries probably all expired at the same time.

Don’t laugh;)

My first thought as well. Put in at the same time and crapped out at the same time.

But gotta admit, Ancient Aliens is a much better explanation!

Not a good sign. This usually happens right before a nuclear attack or an alien invasion!!!

Giorgio A Tsoukalos, who often tends to explain inexplicable phenomena (and some unexplicable) as the direct result of aliens or extraterrestrials being on Earth in his appearances on History Channel programs.

Geez...can you believe that crap? The guy isn’t even playing with a full deck and look at the channels he’s appeared on plus he is a director at some joint (forgot now...I’m old ok?)

All accomplishments based on sheer unproven bullsh*t.

Thanks btw...lol

This should give Giorgio credibility on speaking of aliens

“Tsoukalos is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a degree in sports information and communication.”

But he’s trained in sports broadcasting so he’s an expert.
