WTF, bizarre electrical disturbance at my house

[Schadenfroh]

What happened:

im sitting in my recliner, i have my ipod clone sitting there listening to it on my headphones. im watching tv with the subtitles on so i can listen to my music and watch tv at the same thime. Well, the following thing repeated itself 4 times over a period of 2 minutes. uniform space between the times it happened. NOTE: my ipod clone was running off of its lithium polymer cell with good charge, so it was not connected to anything but the headphones going to my head. and BTW, Its a clear blue sky outside

TV:
Tv went crazy for about 10 seconds, not static, but like multiple channels blending together at the same time.

iPod clone:
Music skipped to differant locations within the same song, right channel went off and on. This occured while the tv was going crazy and stopped when the tv stopped doing its crazy thing.

the two things happened at the same time. the same thing repeated itself 4 times before it stopped. after which, the final time it happened, my ipod clone's right channel failed and i have not been able to get it working.

It's possible there was some sort of electromagnetic disturbance (in the force, Luke!!), possibly caused by a solar flare.

It was probably someone with a non-FCC approved radio device.

Tin Foil Caps?

Sorry about that, stupid EMP bomb went off early.

But not likely, that's what the magnetosphere is for I thought.

There was a glitch in the Matrix.

Solar flares are known to cause electrical disturbances on earth.

Could be from a source other than the sun...? It does seem, from the description, like electromagnetic interference.

 

[Amused]

Guys, a strong, illegal radio device could cause the same issue.

Where do you live? Anywhere close to a research lab or a university? 'cause that sounds like some sort of electromagnetic effect. Could be some grad student forgot to carry a 4 in his equation somewhere.

Oh yeah, anything that uses a lot of juice in your house? When transformers go they tend to send out little EMPs

Maybe you should double the layers of your tin foil hat.

 

[element]

You better hope that wasn't gamma radiation or in the x-ray band. Hopefully it was really strong EM radiation at a safe wavelength. Can't hurt to get cancer screening once in a while though.

Do you live close to an fault line or volcanic area?
