neiltyson A dozen references to Space Exploration among the Super Bowl television commercials. @nasa, a force of nature unto itself.

Commercials or UFO's?? I think every superbowl turns up at least one UFO sighting. Maybe it has something to do with all of the lights and light reflections and hopeful skywatchers. Do we think alien visitors have wagers on the game or do we just figure they like football?? ;D

Hey Y'all...doesn't the NooAhleons SuperDome got a roof? If so, why would there be a blimp overhead?

www.ufodigest.com/article/did-ufo-turn-super-bowl-lights Did a UFO Turn Off the Super Bowl Lights?[/color] By Diane Tessman Reports are streaming in that a UFO has been captured on video over the Superdome just before the lights went off for 34 minutes during the big game in the Superdome between the Ravens and the 49ers! That video is presented here: www.ufodigest.com/video/did-ufo-turn-super-bowl-lights-videoAnd on this link: www.ufonews2012.com/latest/blimp-or-ufo-lights-above-super-bowl-47-before-blackout-new-orleans-superdome-blackout-ufo-207457712.htmlIt is also possible that the power grid which serves the Superdome was hacked by – someone. Another joking explanation is that the promotional campaign for Star Trek: Into Darkness, the new Trek film due out this Spring, somehow went viral and plunged the Super Bowl into darkness. Minutes after Jones gave the Ravens a 28-6 lead on the second-half kickoff, the lights went out in the Superdome. Some backup lighting remained, but play was stopped for 34 minutes, and the international television broadcast was interrupted. We can only guess at the chaos among advertisers and other Super Bowl multi-national interests and media broadcasters. The skies over the Superdome are a no-go area for aircraft.Officials from Entergy, the utility company supplying power to the Superdome, said the outage occurred when sensing equipment detected an "abnormality" in the system. A statement from Entergy and the Superdome said that a piece of equipment monitoring electrical load sensed the abnormality and opened a breaker, partially cutting power. The statement said backup generators kicked in before full power could be restored. It has been described as a “bizarre outage.” Was it a coincidence that this major outage happened to the Superdome’s system right after the beginning of the all-important and tense second half? It is perhaps a tribute to Super Bowl attendees that there was not chaos and crushing, a panicked mob reaction. FBI special agent Michael Anderson said terrorism was not the cause of the power outage and dismissed reports of a fire as a cause. In addition, New Orleans Fire Department spokesman Michael Williams said no fire was reported before, during or after the power outage at the Superdome. The New Orleans fire department was called to investigate a smell of gas near the Superdome's elevator No. 8, New Orleans police Sgt. T.J. St. Pierre said. The elevator was stalled on the seventh floor with people inside. The fire department tried to pry open the elevator from the basement, and it resumed operation after the power returned. Since the cause of the outage wasn't known immediately, it's safe to assume that will be dissected as much as the game itself in the coming days. The outage stopped the game, and it also appeared to alter its course. Up until that point, Baltimore had dominated San Francisco. Players stayed on the field during the outage. Some lounged on the ground while others spent time stretching. Of course there have been reports of UFOs over a number of recent large events, including the Summer Olympics and over the Washington Monument shortly before President Obama’s inauguration. Both of these anomalies have been seemingly explained: The Olympics UFO might have been a blimp, but there are still outstanding questions. And, the Washington Monument UFO might have been a headlight reflection but this sighting and video also remains somewhat of a question, too.

www.examiner.com/article/super-bowl-blackout-mystery-deepens-with-film-of-ufo-over-superdome Super Bowl blackout mystery deepens with film of UFO over Superdome[/color] February 7, 2013 By: Michael Salla The search for an explanation of what caused the Super Bowl power blackout just got deeper with live camera video feed of a UFO filmed over the Louisiana Super Dome minutes before the blackout. Yesterday, the International Business Tribune, published a story featuring the video titled: “Did Red UFO in New Orleans Sky Trigger Super Bowl Power Cut.” The video shows two mysterious red lights floating above the Superbowl stadium minutes before the blackout. The video is a record of the live camera feed from the Online Weather Center for New Orleans on the day and evening of the Super Bowl. The power outage lasted 34 minutes, only slightly longer than the global power outage caused by extraterrestrials in the Sci Fi classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still, aimed at sending a message to world governments. Was it all just coincidental, or was the UFO an extraterrestrial vehicle sending a message to humanity? The video became available on Youtube soon after the Super Bowl ended on February 3 and uploaded with the title. “Blimp or Ufo ? Lights Above Super Bowl 47 Before Blackout New Orleans Superdome Blackout ! UFO ?” The video was spotted by Dominic Gover from the International Business Tribune who ran his story in the highly regarded International Business Tribune on February 6. According to Gover, Officials in New Orleans are still baffled by what happened to disrupt the American football game between Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Confusiondeepened when energy supplier Entergy New Orleans admitted its investigation had drawn a blank.A full-scale inquiry has been mounted by the owners of the Superdome. Consultants were being drafted in to analyse data. More than $1m of improvements to the stadium were commissioned in the aftermath of the blackout. But could footage of the sky over the southern state city at the time of the power cut hold clues? The video shows the Louisiana Superdome on the day of the Super Bowl taken by the Live Camera feed from the Online Weather Center.

Do they seriously not know what caused the blackout? And if they don't know what caused it how did they get it fixed?

Do they seriously not know what caused the blackout? And if they don't know what caused it how did they get it fixed? aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013-02-08/super-bowl-outage-traced-to-faulty-device-blackout?icid=maing-grid7|February 8, 2013 Super Bowl power failure irony: Blackout prevention device to blame[/color] Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power failure caused the Super Bowl XLVII blackout, the stadium's power company said Friday. The utility took the blame for the failure that brought Feb. 3's NFL championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers to a halt for more than a half-hour. Hours later, the maker of the fail-safe device said its product was not to blame. Instead, it pinned the problem on its improper installation. Officials of Entergy New Orleans, a subsidiary of New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., said the device, called a relay, had been installed in switching gear to protect the Superdome from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium. The switching gear is housed in a building known as "the vault" near the stadium that receives a line directly from a nearby Entergy power substation. Once the line reaches the vault, it splits into two cables that go into the Superdome. Company officials said the device performed with no problems during January's Sugar Bowl and other earlier events, but has been removed and will be replaced. All systems at the Superdome are now working and the dome will host a major Mardi Gras event Saturday night, said Doug Thornton, an executive with SMG, the company that manages the stadium for the state. The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Ravens and 49ers. The FBI had ruled out cyberterrorism as a cause. Entergy's announcement came shortly before officials appeared before a committee of the City Council, which is the regulatory body for the company, to answer questions about the failure.
