In a strange development, a number of cities in the US, including Chicago and Phoenix, are in the middle of a major power outage.

Reports coming in say that the power outage occurred seconds after an unidentified flying object (UFO) was seen hovering in the sky.

Unconfirmed reports also say that a strange green light was seen around the flying object.

Another report says that the flying object fired a shot of what looked like a blue beam of light seconds before the lights went out.

One witness described the flying object as a thin, circular plate, which looked somewhat like a frisbee, only it was much higher than a frisbee would go.

Strangely such things happen only on April fool’s day!
