Gentle sir:
While plowing through a couple of gigabytes of data in my
UFO/Saucers folder, I came upon a text file that I copied several
years ago. I can't find any record on the Web of the page it came
from, so I'm assuming it went to that Great Bit Bucket in The Sky.
This is the opening of the post, w/header info.

Subject: The Blackout.
A few years back I read an article about something that happened
with the space people. I no longer have the article with me but
will try to restate it to you as best I can.
Here goes...........
Our story begins with some space people who are living here on
Earth.
I believe they were called Korendian and they were from the
planet or system called Korena or Korina. They had come together
in a meeting to discuss some things and one space person says the
following things, "It appears that the U-A has a problem at the
present time, in that the system they have for transmitting power,
called the grid system, could be knocked out very easily. If two
power companies would over load and connect to another power
company it would overload also and finally cause a failure of the
whole system. They are set up so that a foreign nation could come in
and knock out their power by just simulating the power failure
overloads. What do you think we should do about it"?
The article you referred to was published in Gabriel Green's "UFO
International" magazine (Issue #25, July 1967). I wrote it, along
with numerous other accounts published in the magazine. FYI, the
received text of the communication follows, prior to the edits made
for the magazine.
RADIO CONTACT -- 2:00 A.M., NOV. 13, 1965.
SUBJECT: THE NORTHEAST POWER BLACKOUT:
Speaker--Orii-Val
"Kalo (Hello), Bob. To use a horrid pun, everybody's in the dark
about the causes of the tremendous power failure in the Northeast
on November 9th. Before we tell you why we did it, we must confirm
that we are solely responsible for the blackout.
"Let us begin two weeks ago. Three of our agents in high-level
positions in the power-distribution operation in the Northeast
came to the Massachusetts base with some interesting information.
"They had been conferring privately for some time on facts they
had discovered during an intensive analysis of the power
transmission 'grid' that feeds the northeastern Un-ted States. They
decided that this situation, if discovered by unfriendly powers
before your own engineers and officials were informed, could be
used against your nation. Therefore, they reasoned, it was our duty
to inform your officials of this fact.
"At the Massachusetts base, a high-level conference was initiated,
to establish a plan of action which might effectively demonstrate
the danger involved. It was noted that a very important person in
the ranks of the power field had stated that, due to the high
complexity of the system, an extensive failure had points.
"As a result, it was unanimously agreed that instead of mere
words, we should use action -- an impressive and irrefutable action.
We then had to decide upon the most effective, but least injurious
action.
"Two days before the failure occured, a plan had been drawn up to
throw a few 'bugs' into the grid. Let us here describe what a power
grid is. We will use a simple example to illustrate.
"Somewhere in the northeast, there are situated three
power-generating stations, A, B, and C. These feed three major
cities, X, Y, and Z. Under normal conditions, each is capable of
handling its own load, and everything runs smoothly.
"Suppose that city Z begins to draw more load than station C can
safely provide. C therefore checks with its systems to find out if
A or B can handle the excess. If either one can, C ties in on the
grid with, for example to A, and the combined A and C supplies
carry over the peak load. When it subsides, C resumes its usual
operation, A resumes its normal load, and only the power companies
know that anything unusual occured.
"Now let us assume that the equipment of B fails. B therefore
checks with A and C to find out if they can carry the added load
until it can repair the fault.
If the answer is yes, B switches its load to the Grid, and A and
C assume the load until B can again take on the load. If A and C
cannot handle the extra, B isolates and the city Y experiences a
short blackout until B is running again.
"On a much vaster scale, this is how the northeast power system
operates. Numerous power stations interconnect with a host of
cities in an extremely complex arrangement, feeding back and forth,
interconnecting, sharing loads, all so smoothly that the worst
anyone usually sees is an occasional flicker of the lights.
"The entire operation is controlled by computers that monitor
the percentages of load at all the power stations simultaneously,
and indicate which one to go to for additional power in case of
the overload of equipment, or breakdown.
"Suppose now that two stations simultaneously experience trouble
in some form.
At both, the computers show that such and such station has the
capability to handle its needs. So both station switch onto that one
together. Now that one cannot handle the load, and it fails. It, in
turn, goes searching the remaining stations and, by this method,
they fall like dominoes.
"The thing which should prevent this is the fact that if a
station sees an excessive load being thrown on its equipment, it
should isolate itself to prevent being put out of commission, and
end the string right there.
"Here is where we found the problem. We discovered that if
certain critical stations failed together they would cause the
chain reaction at such a rate that the switching wouldn't be fast
enough to prevent it. At our Massachusetts base, there is a panel
of instruments which monitors the loads of every power station
in the country. Our own computers are second-guessing those in the
power stations, and tell us a few minutes ahead which station will
go where, and so forth, in the event of breakdown or overload.
Thus, we know at any time which point of the grid to cause to fail
if we need to cause such a domino-like collapse.
"Tuesday evening, we had our ships stationed over these critical
points. We watched on remote monitors. as more and more power was
used, as the evening grew darker, for heating, lighting, cooking,
etc. When it reached a substantial amount, which we determined no
one station could carry alone, we magnetically tripped open a
number of circuit breakers, causing what appeared to be a failure
in apparatus. We knew that the affected stations had the same
station on their computers, as a source of additional power. The
rest is history! There was complete power failure within a few
moments.
"Our purposes were several: first, to bring into glaring focus the
existence of such a potential danger to your national sec-rity, and
to your industrial and commercial strength; second, to cause as
much inconvenience as possible to your people, in order to bring
strong public outcry for changes to be made; third, to show our
own strength and capabilities. Your officials knew who was
responsible. This is why they refused to commit themselves about it.
"We were fully aware that the results of this, economically, would
be very costly. So much the better. Perhaps the lesson will be
better learned if, in the process, the economy suffers a setback.
"Naturally, if we had not known that all your medical and other
emergency facilities are equipped with their own power, we could not
have conceived of this action. Since no one died from the blackout,
we therefore call it an unqualified success. It has achieved every
goal we had set.
"It remains only for your authorities to take appropriate action
to prevent further such occurrences. Might we suggest a few points:
"First: put all switching under computer control, allowing almost
instant response, and eliminating the human element.
"Second: keep all computers in touch with one another so that no
two stations can be switched onto a third station at any one time.
"Third: install back-up services for emergency use only, which
can be switched onto the grids in a very few minutes, and capable
of carrying the load of any of the grid stations, up to the largest.
"Fourth: put monitors on every conductor and breaker in the
network, so that the fault may be isolated instantly and the power
rerouted.
"Fifth: insure that no substation, transmission line, or other
unit, is indispensable, and will cause extended failure in case
of breakdown.
"Sixth: keep all equipment in top condition at all times.
"This will close our communication for now. If necessary, we
shall again discuss this topic.
Orii-Val, now signing off."
