I would have just used a switch on a float ball to turn the pump on and off. I can get the kit for about 20 bucks and install it myself.
No electronics expert required.

Logic to me is keeping things as simple as possible.

I wanted something that if the pump fails a new one can be powered off the same power block my relay switches on ... uh oh, relays again

It might even recreate some of the odd effects you say are unexplainable.

If not seek confirmation from a person or organization that thinks more like you do. Maybe you can trust thier judgement more than ours and get a spot on TV telling all about your amazing experience.
No access to the power at the front of this shared complex here the camera doesn't adjust or do anything because the lights at the front stay on

I'm not after exposure or fame, I hate exposure but it seems if I want a lot of people to see this I'm going to have to go on video at some point

They then changed it to 1 seconds worth that is copyrighted

Someone or something is trying hard to make sure as few people see this as possible Now I'm banned for posting my own video on facebook, thankfully youtube predates them if this gets to court one day

Do you agree it's not the power coming on or any of the lights behind this blue patch of light?

It's also obvious now the color temperature of this search beam is extremely cool white on the spectrum, giving that blue, no bulb on the estate has that tint even if the light was responsible..

Despite the power being on when we see it and again 5 second later with all the power clean out logic dictates a light source that lit this up can't be on this estate or we would have seen it with frame before the time skip

We would see it 24/7 we don't it's no glitch as it's the same identical light lighting up the same identical leaves .. it was an external light source from a craft (nothing else explains it) and it happened twice
I agree it's not the power coming on. I'm clearly talking about the moment when the power is going off.

I agree it has the same sort of cold blue I'd associate with an electrical discharge.

It's inaccurate to say we see it when the power is "on". The lights are very obviously dimming. With only 10 frames per second and an unrecorded second about to follow it's not really possible to say more in any certain detail.

I've shown you the flashes there. If as you say the same thing happens again 5 seconds later, please show us that frame and indicate what features you identify as being the same thing.

I think it's the flash of the poor bat getting electrocuted. Show us otherwise if you can.

What second in the video shows the power coming back on to make that light you see?
To address your comments: the power comes on very, very briefly at 03:57:15 in the video, starting at frame 0 of that second and continuing into frame 1.

Quote:
When the power is on, all the lights are on... what causes that blue flash of light you see if all the lights are on?
I'm not sure what you're referring to. I made no reference to a blue flash of light.

Quote:
A bat? Where there's electrical discharge because the bat lowered the impeadance... where is the brown out? and dip in voltage which would be shown in the lights fading in and out? What point in the video does it happen? You have a time stamp show me...
There was no brownout and thus no "dip" in the voltage. A bat caused a short circuit that cut power to an area of town; that is, reduced voltage to zero and stopped the flow of current. That strated at 03:57:08 frame 9 (the last frame for that second; frame counts start at 0) in your video with a noticeable loss of lighting intensity. At that point, for some reason your video either lost a full second, or glitched and forced the clock forward one second. (By the way, have you tested your battery circuit to ensure it completely isolates a voltage drop or overvoltage on the supply side from the output side? It should, of course, but have you verified that?) My conclusion is the camera glitched and added a second, because at 03:57:10 frame 0 there is still some residual light, while at frame 1 it's really dark.

At 03:57:10 frame 5 things brighten up a bit, which I attribute to the camera adjusting its sensitivity to account for the lack of light. Does your model have the infrared LEDs to help with night vision? If so, that's another factor that needs to be taken into account.

Five seconds later a recloser kicked in and tried to restore power; that happens at precisely 03:57:15 (frames 0 and 1) in the video, 5 seconds after the outage began. For 2/10 of a second there was some power and some lights started to come back on. The recloser determined the fault had not been corrected and cut power again, causing the lights to go out. Because we don't know the exact voltage at that time (too low? too high?) nor its waveform, we can't completely predict its effect on every device in the area.

Quote:
The relays shut down and stayed down...

No explanation fits, go back to ridiculing me or start giving time stamps and screen shots explaining why I'm wrong, in done with peoples word, just show me what you see in the video that proves me wrong.
As far as I know I've not ridiculed you in any way.

Further, as others have very patiently tried to explain to you, a failure to explain each and every aspect of the two frames of video (at 03:57:10, frames 0 and 1) from a consumer grade web camera does not in any way, shape, or form imply an extraterrestrial spacecraft was responsible for what we see.

By your logic we could just as well assume a ghost, angels, faeries, or a demon from Hell. I think we can safely rule out Yowi, though, due to a lack of activity in the Adelaide area. (I checked www.yowiesightings.com and didn't see anything for Adelaide.)

We don't have to explain why you're wrong; it's up to you to show why you think you're correct. Therefore it's not up to us to explain away aliens; it's up to you to demonstrate they were responsible. You've been trying to do that, but we're not finding your evidence credible, for reasons that we've explained. And even if we accepted the possibility aliens have visited Earth, the anomalies in the video do not immediately require those aliens to be in the Adelaide area in order to explain it.

Quote:
You're Good at telling me what it is without evidence to validate your claims, that's all you're good at
What I'm trying to tell you is we have a decent (if not perfect) explanation for what is seen in the video, one that does not require the presence of aliens visiting Earth from another solar system. However, it appears you're not reading those posts carefully. You just keep coming back to "well, can you explain this? (many words which are difficult to put into context.) It must be aliens!"

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_jq...w?usp=drivesdk

Does this help? That's every frame of the video In a series, any power fluctuations aka brown out, dimming, brighter whatever isn't seen

Now I remember posting 2 images that get compared by side

The one with the light that can be see 60 meters away



https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XrQ...w?usp=drivesdk


https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XdF...w?usp=drivesdk
I marked on the map where that light can be seen, however this light we see is 5 seconds after the power goes out so in the frame of the lights being dimmer right before the second goes missing, fro the 8th second when it starts dimming until the very last frame recorded of that 8th second, you clearly see that power fading out after the power drops out

As that light gets across and it focuses down onto the lath that's where I compared the image of the last frame before the time skip and 5 seconds later with the second light beam we see

Did you see that?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iMV...w?usp=drivesdk

The frame before the video drops out.. and the frame 5 seconds later, they are identical ...

Now my question is if in low light conditions like we are 5 seconds later would we have seen light on the trees 60 meters away? Did that happen twice as well as I suspect it did

It got from there to my path in only 1 second what's that a few hundred feet a second? Ok aircraft can do that no problem but... that close? The windows would shake

The transformer if zapping a bat would cause a brown out and electrical discharge and the glow would light up the entire complex not just my path or make that sound you hear.. it's like 200 + meters away way further than that house 60 meters away we barely make out

So 1 out of 3, well done

I showed there to be a direct lin between aliens and power outages , do your research as I too was more skeptic than you

"Spooky action at a distance" is what einstein called it, he got proved wrong, other things of his will be proved wrong again but until we master the quantum world he's the best we have

So if aliens have mastered this, wormholes and matter manipulation is plausible and well must be happening because the speed of light unless again he's completely wrong can't be broken

In other words you have now idea how quantum entanglement would make FTL travel or wormholes possible.

Logic? Clear rational thinking? "Common sense", even?

"I can't explain it. You have not explained it to my satisfaction. Therefore aliens!!!" is not the thought process of a rational mind.

I suspect cjdelphi actually understands this. It would undermine cjdelphi's entire position so steadfast refusal to acknowledge is the only option.

No light source higher than the tree, so how does any light source here cause it

You've confirmed yourself that this is a light:


I was like:
"Hey look, a reflection."

And you were like:
"No, no, that's totally a light from the other building."

Whether that's a light or a reflection of a light, please explain how it is there before the power goes out, after the power comes back, and in the moment when your "search beam" hits.

If there was no way for lights to come on at that moment, why do we have evidence of a light coming on? Even if it's only a reflection, it's identical to a reflection cast when lights were on, so it has to be from the same light.

Someone mentioned IR anyone with any experience will know IR only works if the camera is outside, not behind a a window so to see anything at night I quickly disabled that..

Perhaps the aliens were trying to evade detection by creating a light identical to one that already existed.

Link to the post? Maybe I miss typed? Maybe you miss read? Or maybe that's what you think I said

Everything can be proved here copy my a link the the post number saying it's a light from another building... I've been saying it can't possibly be a light from another building over and over again

Despite the light being the wrong color temperature despite the fact the power was out despite the fact the light comes on the very frame a second goes missing and the fact the light that does appear before the missing second matched the light we see 5 seconds later ... brown outs , electrical interference don't explain the second missing

A transformer is too far away 200 meters and would bathe the entire street in beautiful plasma arcs with some funky sounds to go with It

Neighbour said it was dead nothing else

Compare the last 2 frames before the time skips

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iHp...w?usp=drivesdk

Notice that tiny patch of light? Now compare it to 5 seconds later with no power

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iMV...w?usp=drivesdk

And you see the same identical leaves lit up, that beam can be traced 60 meters away which ends up focusing in on our floor, that to me a craft coming in low and fast with a search beam of some kind, knocking the power out on only 2 blocks as they approach

That light had never been heard before or it since, same for the sound, and that's 1 unexplained power outage ever

That light in the background though is puzzling I agree but it's an entire block away, but either way that light is too far away to even light up a meter away let alone 200.. but was it a reflection or a light

Needs further investigation

I don't care about that light right now. We will address each claim in turn. You know that you are wrong, but instead of admitting it, you jump back to a completely different part of the video to obfuscate that fact.

If at the end of all this, you want to claim that aliens abducted you because of a momentary bright spot on a tree, you are free to do so, but I will not play your game.

Address the light/reflection that appeared when the "search beam" hits. Why is it there before the power goes out, for a moment when the power is out, and after the power comes back if there is no way there could be power during the search beam?

When the power came back on the power to the block I'm front had been restored before ours, so you should be able to tell if the light you refer to is a reflection or a distant light source

I can't look at them side by side to answer your question I'd need to get off this phone onto a desktop
Look at the time stamp, when the power came on you see my bulb yes, the circuit breaker to the street lamps were off, all the homes got power only bulbs on that circuit were on in that video frame my only 1 outdoor bulb

An HOUR or so later...


That's not and never had been a light source that is absurd, it's a different color temperature for start

What that photo does show is that the light source we see 5 seconds after the power goes out gives identical shadows to my 1 outdoor led bulb the plant pot shadows

This would prove the light beam or search beam stops outside my window as the shadows match the outdoor bulb, but it's not that because all the bulbs are dead 5 seconds after the lights go out

Definitely not a reflection
That's referring to the block in front I thought they only had 1 light (middle of the tree) it turns out when the power was restored ...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bq8...w?usp=drivesdk

I see 3 light sources not 1 like I first thought

You miss understood the time difference of what I talked, this all took place an hour later

Watch the power restored... no light source comes on in that tree, I caught those bastard aliens red handed! I know I did

So it's a reflection now? Fine.

The reflection during the "search beam" is identical to the reflection before the power goes out and after the power comes back. This means that it was cast by the same light source, so the power did come back for a moment. You were wrong.

What? Now you're saying there are three light sources in the block in front? Three dots of light?

What now? Light reflection when the search beam hits?

How can it be power when you see NOTHING on... you don't hear my microwave going beep you would if the power was restored even for the briefest of moments

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZJ...w?usp=drivesdk

What lights do you see other than that beam of light? None because the power is out , that light can not be explained by electric period, end of forget it.... never going to happen

That light has to be from above and a craft that's silent there is not other explanation if you think high tech government is behind it whatever, I know its alien "search for flash of light outside window" it happens to hundreds, why? .. I caught them

Show me any power source lighting up anything in any of the 3 frames with light in them

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XNV...w?usp=drivesdk

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X3c...w?usp=drivesdk

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZJ...w?usp=drivesdk

I've circled all the light sources on the estate

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YXg...w?usp=drivesdk


Point to the light source or street lamp coming on in any of those photos

Reflection during "search beam":

Identical reflection when power comes back:

Identical reflection before power goes out:

No reflection when power is out:

In other words, the source of that reflection came on at the moment of the "search beam", proving that some lights did come on, proving that a recloser was testing the circuit.
