Summary

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”On November 9, 1965, a huge portion of the Eastern United States experienced a power outage that began at 5:17 p.m. and lasted until 7:00 a.m. the next day in most areas. According to an article on the New England Historical Society website, it happened because maintenance workers “set a protective relay too low on a power line to Ontario, which then tripped the relay. It then sent power to other lines, overloading them.” At the time, the entire U.S. was in the midst of a UFO flap, and there was speculation that UFOs had something to do with the outage. As far-fetched as that might seem, this was considered seriously by Saturday Review columnist John Fuller in his 1966 book, Incident at Exeter and was discussed in Congress in 1968 during a UFO symposium. A high-strangeness aspect to all this is that Oscar-nominated actor Stuart Whitman, claimed he was given an explanation by the occupants of two UFOs he saw in New York City the night of the blackout.

They keep telling you that the Jeffrey Epstein story is finished, that it was investigated,

0:04.8

that it was handled.

0:06.1

But here's the part that they never explain, why the charges were so narrow, when the conduct

0:11.4

was so broad.

0:13.1

How does a man with multiple properties, private aircraft, international travel, and a documented

0:18.2

pipeline of victims get treated like a lone offender.

0:22.1

Why were logistics treated as background noise instead of evidence?

0:26.0

Why were facilitators reduced to footnotes instead of defendants?

the deals that capped exposure,

the decisions at limited scope,

If you ever wondered why this case feels unfinished,

0:49.7
