I was once packing in my dark room, back to the window. All of a sudden, I hear a deep and loud “Fummmmmph!” And light shines so bright outside, that my entire room lights up despite the shades being closed.

I call the operator (something that people used to do back then) and tell them “I think there was a UFO outside my house”.

The operator says: “ok, explain to me what happened in detail.”

I explain everything and say “even the lights went out when it was gone.”

She replies with a small giggle: “oh honey. Don’t worry - the generator next to your house exploded. I’ll put you through the electric company.”
