Hum Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Anyone know why the town in Italy suddenly had all the electronics explode? It happened a few months ago, I haven't heard any news on it since. :no: :rolleyes: Must be a Pulse detonation effect. Maybe a UFO flew over. Found this, may be related ... Suddenly, without warning, nuclear detonations occur simultaneously, high in the atmosphere over different sections of the North American continent and Western Europe. These detonations originate from pre-positioned orbiting satellites armed with atomic weapons. These high altitude bursts do not affect the surface of the earth with any form of destructive heat, overpressure or radiation, but a phenomenon occurs which is called Electro Magnetic Pulse, or EMP The Electro Magnetic Pulse radiates out across North America and Western Europe, collecting on power transmission lines and communication antennas. For a fraction of a second, the EMP spikes the power grid and receiving antennas with a huge surge of voltage. In the process of seeking ground, this surge is so quick and great that it jumps across conventional surge protectors, lightning protection, and even open circuits where the power switches are turned off, burning out and rendering useless all sensitive electronics, computers and communication equipment.

Hum Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 :huh: Found this News Story ... "According to MSNBC, ever since mid-January, various electronic devices have been spontaneously combusting in the now evacuated town of Canneto di Caronia, Sicily; at this point, the fires are almost daily. The town has been disconnected from the larger electrical grid and was hooked to a generator, but that, too, caught fire. Even unplugged items have succumbed. Nothing seems to have burst into flame except where there is someone present to witness it, but the police no longer suspect a prankster -- after witnessing wires catch fire without cause. Scientists have yet to explain the phenomenon (although unproven theories abound), leading many people to look to supernatural causes." "The blazes, originally blamed on the devil, have not hurt anyone." LOL :laugh: Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4669114/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 That's messed up... lol but it does sound like an EMP of some sorts. :huh: I don't think EMP would start fires, and not 1 at a time, over several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
