I think they're selling the aluminum for scrap and probably using or selling the high-powered lights for a marijuana grow operation.

I've been tempted to do things like that myself... I wouldn't put it past some people. If that's who it is, then keep up the great work!

Anyway, the poor bastard got FRIED right there. I always thought this guy should have been nominated for a Darwin award. I mean, talk about humiliating, he was trying to show how clever he was and got zapped for it.

I think its Aliens and the poles are used to repair their spaceship so they can finally get off this scary planet before we either find them, or blow the planet up.

Well, I don’t see a connection to anything John Keel wrote about. Maybe you could elaborate. I think it probably involves entities of the human type.
"For the past five years someone has been ripping off antique weather vanes in New England. Literally ripping them off old barns and houses. Some antique weather vanes date back to the early 1700's and are valuable collector's items. According to eyewitnesses, our phantom burglars fly over the old farms in a helicopter and actually lasso the weather vanes with a rope and wrench them off their roofs. Housewives and farmers, alerted by the noisy engines, have dashed outside just in time to see a bright orange chopper rising upwards, a prize weather vane snarled in a dangling rope."
"In 1973, a five ton wrecking ball belonging to the Dowling Construction Co. in Indianapolis, Indiana suddenly vanished. Workmen had left it hanging 200 feet in the air from a crane."

What are the locations of the light poles in question? Maybe they make a shape/symbol/word etc that might be a clue (or distraction).

I used to do line work, outside electrical work etc.. which included both putting up and taking down light poles. I can tell you that with the right equipment and basic knowledge its not hard at all, and doesnt take long.
