Explosions, Blue Flashes & Power Cuts

There was a blue flash (something going bang?) at an electrical substation in Moredon at 1 o'clock this morning, causing a power cut across various parts of the town.

Swindon Centric Says ; Something to liven up a quiet Sunday evening, no doubt!

I was awake last night when this happened all the electrics died and the sky lit up with what appeared to be a lightening flash. I'm in Haydon End.

We live near the bottom of Victoria Hill, and was spooked when at around 0100 the answerphone started talking to itself!

We noticed that various clocks had been reset as well, so guessed it was an outage.

After the power cut, all the televisions in our block of 12 flats have no signal, neither ariel or sky. Is there someone out there who knows what has caused this, and can provide a cheap solution to fix it.?

I heard it was a giant space goat.

I too saw it at about 1:00 am.
Just caught a massive flash in the sky out of my window (very bright!) and the lights in our house flashed!

It lit up our bedroom in Purton through closed curtains, similar to a very close lightning flash. Power off for around 20 secs. Found myself wondering if it was "duck and cover" time.
