The Pilapila Blackout (1999)

Alex James and friends in Papua New Guinea watched as streetlights dimmed when an oblong object hovered over nearby palm trees. The 30-foot craft emitted a faint humming sound. Village power fluctuated during the ten-minute sighting. The object had no visible wings or propellers. Several witnesses described a metallic sheen catching moonlight. Local elders connected the event to ancestral spirits, though James insisted it was mechanical in nature.
