E.T. Blamed For Blackout 2003

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- A paranormal expert in Los Angeles thinks he may know the culprit to last week's blackout: E.T.

Dr. Franklin Ruehl -- the resident UFO expert on Tom Green's new MTV talk show -- says it's not uncommon for UFOs to be seen hovering near power plants right before blackouts.

Ruehl claims that prior to the big blackout in November, 1965, two pilots reported seeing UFOs near Indianapolis and Syracuse, New York.

The phenomenon may be inadvertant but Ruehl says it's possible a UFO caused this year's blackout by trying to draw power from a provider like First Energy.

Numerous such blackouts have occurred since 1953 but Ruehl admits more research is needed before he can prove that E.T. truly caused the outage

I just saw this and thought it was hilarious

Wait for confirmation from Weekly World News.

Wow! This guy has a long road ahead of him, considering how he is going to have to prove that E.T.'s exist in the first place. LOL

Ho-Hum! anyone read INCIDENT AT EXETER? about UFO's stealing power in the 1965 blackout.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Or was that EXITER!

Are you refering to this?

Well, lets see...there was the thunderhead-less spontaneously generated lightning strike in Niagra, then it turned out that those damned NYers have just too many air conditioners, then there were the mystery fluctuations in Detroit, and the last version I heard was that a bunch of Ohio rednecks dropped some power lines while shooting doves.

Given the track record, Id say aliens were as likely to have done it as anything the government is going to admit to.

E.T. was at my house that afternoon. We watched CNN coverage together. Couldn't have been him.

Bush has a plan to go get em.

From Weekly World News:

JUST months after liberating Iraq, President George W. Bush plans to bring freedom to another far-flung region, the moon.

High-level Pentagon sources confirm that U.S. Marines and Air Force personnel are receiving special training from NASA in preparation for a massive 1,200-man invasion of Earth's satellite set for May 2004

"Wait for confirmation from Weekly World News."

Don't you mean the New York Times?

[Lady Jag]

It's all just a game.

[sweetliberty]

I thought it was Bush's fault. I'm so confused.

[metalboy]

Yeah, E.T. Environmental Terrorists.

Man I paid $129.00 for my Atari and thought I got a deal.A year later they were like $39.00.What a rip off,and never got the hang of that ping pong game.Man that stuff was lame.I was a sucker,but was not alone.

[Lady Jag]

Pong was great! I loved Atari back then. I got Asteroid Thumb and won a Bucket Brigade patch. Times sure have changed.

[Pro-Bush]

Thanks. This explains everything.

[noutopia]

Was only kidding,I loved it also.By the way in 82-84 when I was playing Atari I was stationed at Cannon AFB about 40 miles from Roswell NM if I remember the miles right.Kind of strange how all the people back then did'nt say much about it.Wow must be a cover up,Atari was Alien technology and we paid them for it.The dims have yet to prove this though.
