A mysterious blue light rising over Queens Thursday night sowed mass confusion in the metropolis of nearly 9 million people as thousands of city dwellers took to their social media feeds to express fears that the aliens might have finally arrived…only to learn that the source of the light was quite pedestrian.
Adding to the effect, power in nearby homes flickered, the 7 train experienced major service disruptions, Riker’s Island was forced to rely on backup generators and La Guardia airport was plunged into darkness.
According to the NYPD and Con Edison, a few transformers at the Con Ed substation on 20th Avenue and 32nd Street in Astoria tripped and caused a fire at a power, which was described as the source of the eerie blue light. The fire was quickly brought under control, but not before thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets (or social media) to wonder what the hell was going on, NBC News reported.
ADVISORY: The lights you have seen throughout the city appear to have been from a transformer explosion at a Con Ed facility in Queens. The fire is under control, will update as more info becomes available. Follow @fdny, @NYPD114pct and @conedison. pic.twitter.com/fdzQKs1wVV

There was a brief electrical fire at our substation on 20th Avenue & 32nd Street in Astoria this evening, which caused a transmission dip in the area. All power lines serving the area are in service and the system is stable. Photo: Michael Friedl, New York Times pic.twitter.com/vq2Ao46rhk

And for 20 minutes before the NYPD revealed the cause, residents commenting on social media appeared to come to a unanimous conclusion: Aliens.

Haunting blue-tinged photos and videos flooded social media:
The NYPD and ConEd are still investigating the cause of the fire.
Texas here.
Many rural N. Tex. counties have current 911 outage.
Urban counties have had recent 911 outage.
Emergency alert system warning system invoked weekly to cut off normal radio-tv.
Wide spread multiple county complete internet outages recently.
Water system supposedly leak shut down many parts of city.
Someone is doing drills to Isolate and Silence both urban and rural areas of North Texas.
Have the round ups already began?
Is this federal government?
Is this a foriegn entity? China?
Their are more China Nationals in N. Texas than anywhere I have been in US. These are often young men, military age, very fit individuals. Have also spotted many Russians also of same demographic.
Quite wars is tactic of NWO-UN-Elite take over.
Someone is getting ready to isolate then to round up or just kill us.
Also saw Fed in local gun shop correlating purchase forms to determin who had what fire arms. Was putting this data into laptop. This is illegal. But like all government officials, they do what ever they want. No laws ever apply to them.
Why is all the above happening? Why North Texas? Anyone seen same activities in their area? Who is behind the isolation drills in N. Tex.? Thank you for any info.
Should we sell out and move now? Where is safe area?

No One is safe if you are on this site.
We are not in control.
Anon: Hmmm that is definitely very, very odd and weird and concerning to say the least! I have no idea WTF is going on here anymore but I def. do NOT like any of it at all. Is it me or is there certainly a feeling this things are just not at all right or normal? And all of these foreigners, not good! I have known since I was in my teens this was not a good sign or idea. I used to question my parents and others about it but you know where that got me but I even new was I was young, this b.s. would haunt us one day and I think that day is now upon us my friend…I guess get Locked & Loaded and do the best you can do – what else can we really do.

Oh for cryin’ out loud, is that the best you can do? You’re so fooked.

Tabloid news this morning Mac?
Alien invasion? Wrong border. Head southwest.
I always wondered if Ed was like their first and only customer or what?
We are not alone thats a fact.
But NEW YORKERS CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.
When all is lost CALL THE GHOSTBUSTERS
I wonder if this happened at the same time that Centurylink started having problems with the phone and Internet service? I know Centurylink does not serve the Northeast but I wonder if some kind of power surge fried their equipment. Washington State still has 911 outages as of 830 am Pacific time.
It was just Hillary on her broomstick.
Blue lights were reported in the Paradise, CA exercises.
NYC is already another world, so what could be new about this?
Ooh it’s the scary city again. This don’t happen in the sticks.
Centurylink went down causing a reported nationwide 911 service outage. Then there are reports of both internet and cell phone outages. Plus there are reports of power outages as well in several places besides NYC.
Be wary.
An interesting question would be “If the authorities knew that terrorists were behind the transformer explosions, would they admit it?”.
Brain: NO, positively they refuse to tell us the truth about anything – would cause panic and all of that b.s.
This entire place is ready to go up in flames people, time is upon us.
FACT: Multiple transformers blew. That’s all that happened.
Move along, nothing to see here.
several outages of different types being reported, just wondering why?
it’s not aliens or direct energy weapons. i explained in this feed

Illegal invaders crossing our borders – good! Alien space-monkeys – scary and bad! Pretty much sums up any liberal/progressive shithole.
Blue illumination in the atmosphere was seen in several American cities as well as Ireland.
Remember when I said there was a weird rumor why the Solar Observatory really shut down about pulses from the sun and a mini-ice age. Now there’s another weird rumor about the Earth’s magnetic field flipping as well. It would cause serious electrical and electronic issues.
Here’s an article from August.

Steve Quayle is reporting of the blue illumination in Louisiana and parts of Mexico too.
I was going to post something to the effect that the aliens were coming to New York to rectally probe all the leftists but then I realized that would make them happy so I cancelled my post.
