As for your first paragraph, yes that is exactly my point in my response just a few comments up...the OP said it was an xiaomi webcam (not sure the exact model) and it is most definitely digital and fairly inexpensive, which means that you are correct it is most likely fully automatic. Your point about WB is. correct, and in addition, the ISO is also fully AUTO. Which means that as it becomes darker abruptly during the outage, the camera is gonna struggle to adjust its settings, resulting in both potential changes in color (from WB) and exposure (from auto ISO) totally normal stuff but misleading if you are trying to use the results as evidence of anything unusual.

Show me a bat or transformer lighting up a path and not the entire street, ridiculous theory
Find one that fits, I'll respond back why I get one that fits Until then, you have been warned they are visiting and taking people, go ridicule someone who deserves It appears most of you here are over 60 with bad eye sight, consult an expert or someone under 30 for their answers Until then, if you see a flash of light and feel tired morning after chances are you were abducted I proved all you skeptics wrong over and over and now I.would have to accept banging my hard any harder is retarded There's a couple of skeptics here with doubt and all that's all I wanted! people to see what's going on, any educated person who came here will see what I see and understand what I'm saying I'm done with low intelligence explanations I need better |

I did not comment on the Yahoo Messenger software. I have no way to evaluate its worth nor your statements regarding it. However, your modulated laser, overwhelmed with hot-glue, project was trivial. Mentioning it as you did makes me question your sense of what would be significant. Your design for the pump controller seems asinine, but otherwise equally trivial. So once again I am questioning your sense of significance. lol (obligatory closing, I guess) |

Where I live in rural Wiltshire in the UK power cuts are quite common, maybe 5 or 6 times a year. In the majority of cases the power comes back on again a few seconds later, which is presumably the recloser working successfully. If it's not restored within seconds I know it's going to take a lot longer, probably hours. I give it half an hour and then call the emergency helpline, by which time there is usually a recorded message telling me how long I can expect to be without power.

I missed this post...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ybl...w?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_W6...w?usp=drivesdk That you posted isn't on my street, the transformer is too far away and yes the power cables are underground here Use street view to look at this street if you want to see the transformer https://youtu.be/okioLGgSZ_0 No transformer to be seen here... and a bat being responsible sure |

Here's the video, no transformer nothing damaged no burns nothing to suggest bat has ever been near this Freshly taken photos with that video https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l-P...w?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lC_...w?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l2f...w?usp=drivesdk All seems to look in perfect condition... that power line has to be responsible as there's no transformer on my street It looks absolutely fine no burn marks anywhere |

You see all the lamps, the one with the green arrow is the light you see on the power pole |

I'll gladly help and be as positive as I can with posts like these because again that circle of light on the right...
First I've noticed this, that fits my theory the 2 flashes of light are identical at both times as the power dropped and 5 seconds later I'm going to look at that second patch of light ... I think you found more weirdness I haven't noticed .. But the bat being excuted can only explain it if we had a transformer on the street and power cables above, the previous posts just made with videos of me walking around and if the incoming powerline should help you out here... just way to far away! And yes previously i thought there was a transformer at the end if the street it's not, just a power pole, my bad... |

Unless there's a transformer at the end of this street which would be the end of my street ., I think someone found the closest transfer and that wasn't on this street at all

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mMM...w?usp=drivesdk The answer to that would be... no, no transformer on our drive way, no transformer in the street or the end of the street,! This bat theory is no longer possible drop it |

I'm going to be honest, I don't see that 2nd circle patch of light to make an assumption it was identical to the second flash of light we see, my theory suggests we should see the same identical light but don't i think the cameras low light settings were turned on or it would washed out Only that first patch of light circled matches identically to the 2nd patch of light 5 seconds later https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iMV...w?usp=drivesdk But you might be right, I'm 41 and my close up vision is not what it was, it's still good but I'm losing the ability to read almost microscopic part numbers from surface mount chips these days https://youtu.be/_B7q_ZDL2YU |

I see the light only when dark on the right when the power is off not with it ON like you do... ?? I need an eye check
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m_U...w?usp=drivesdk I changed the hue, and brightness and contrast to try and make just the light source we see stand out You now can see it on the floor on the right on the bushes on the trees, in the tree... but as it hits my path all of that light scatter stops dead But this image indeed shows a green patch of light exactly where you circled with the power still almost on! http://www.internationalskeptics.com...668df48d7e.jpg |

That first sound at regular speed, play it to your pets, play it to your sleeping partner, I bet they jump right out of bed, that sound is definitely something we humans and animals are aware of

Indeed it is, as this quick spectrum analysis that I did on the sound shows. all of the energy in the sound is between 2K and 5K hertz---the consonant sound range of the human voice and famously the sound range that crying infants make. It's the frequency range the human ear is most sensitive to, (hence the crying baby) which is why sound engineers boost this range if they want to annoy the listener. But try proving that Aliens are responsible for the sound recorded here.

But you now own a copy of an alien sound or sound of alien tech or alien interference
At least 50 hopefully 20... years before everyone else, how you going to feel when I'm proved right and you get the proof we are being visited and abducted and if the government knew and couldn't do a thing about it, I'm sure they wouldn't tell us would they... You have a piece of history in the making .. |

Phhht...when our savior Trump is reelected...cough i mean annointed...I hear he is gonna build a golf course on Area 51 and open it up to the public, charge millions to have an alien caddy take you for a spin. When that happens, all your hard work will just be a footnote in the dust.

You claim you already have the proof. Why is it going to take several decades to prove your case? And, by the way, you didn’t answer my question about “search beams”. What exactly is a “search beam”? How does it cause a power outage or an anomalous sound on a video recording? |

He knows they are here hence ATIP and the new space defence force, but he will only confirm they are here, not abducting us without leaving us memory
and as long as the loonies who claim greys came into their room that will distract the general population from the truth which is they could be next or already are a victim They don't get abducted, it's the general population by the looks of it not the loonies I don't believe a word they say |

I examined it all, right now we are working on ion drives it won't be until we crack nuclear fusion will we be able to lift craft off the ground with an ion drive, first we have to crack fusion that's about 20 to 30 years away if then Maybe In 200 years we master it and you pour a bottle of water into a mini fusion reactor that takes the hydrogen and out pumps vast more energy than put in, you could run your home for nothing after the initial costs So In a million years an old ion drive with ionic wind could be used to fly about silently, problem is it induces a current into metals like copper this would would cause brown outs and anything monitoring it will switch it off completely as you see in my video They might travel vast distances in a blink of an eye and use an ion drive they might use something much more advanced I don't know those speesds would kill a human and ion drives wouldn't go that fast, so... those UAPs might be using something much more advanced But for a basic future craft, an ion drive explains it, it explains why a the missiles the army have go crazy when ufos visit, they are not directly messing with then, their aircraft does For example take a security chip, 1 pin will enable if everything checks out, induce voltage and that pin goes from a 0v to a high That high could mean launch missile, shut down, whatever.. I don't think aliens have ever screwed with anyone intentionally except for abducting them if that was true they wouldn't have let us Nuke Japan It's just curiosity and their drives scew with electronics we have through magnetic induction |

And that search beam is their space craft light .. my money was it was a transportation beam of some kind, it's not normal it has no reflection like a normal light source does

I suggested that above. You didn’t seem to appreciate the suggestion. If it was just “their space craft light”, why not just use a light rather than something that attracts attention by creating power outages and anomalous sounds on video recordings?

No, I think they’re powered by the Dunning-Kruger effect. It works because they don’t realise that it’s impossible. ALIEN COMMANDER: Hey, computer, can you take us to Alpa Centauri? COMPUTER: Sure, that’s easy… ***ZZZZ-ZINK*** COMMANDER: Hey, this isn’t Alpha Centauri! COMPUTER: Dammit, these stars all look the same… COMMANDER: Well, where are we this time? COMPUTER: No idea, you’ll just have to abduct some poor shmuck and ask for directions again. COMMANDER: Hey, why not use the Search BeamTM? COMPUTER: OK, you got it! ***ZZZZ-ZINK*** COMMANDER: Hey, why did all the lights go out? COMPUTER: No idea, it does that every time we use it, remember. Just use your flashlight. COMMANDER: OK, I’ll see if there’s anyone in that house with the video camera. COMPUTER: Don’t forget to rub the lemon juice onto your face to avoid detection. |

It's hard to a reply to someone who's only intent is to ridicule you
It wasn't a light I think we perceive it as light and if you only clean power source is a fusion drive the pumping that energy into ionic wind to get around cleanly and silently makes complete sense Petrol cars will be banned in 2035 to 2055 in most western countries because they use fossil fuels, if ion drives tick all the green boxes that's what will be used and an ion drive will take the power out, an ion drive might be the only legally allowed way to travel one day like petrol is going to get banned here If only ion drives are allowed to fly with mini fusion reactors then that's all that gets manufactured Time is on my side .. |
