Not impossible at all - some radar systems to interfere with remote garage door openers and other devices.

The big question is where are you? Are there any AF or Navy aviation bases nearby? That might narrow down the aircraft type a little.

otherwise I'd say ti was coincidence.

I remember that. It was back in the 70's when Air Force One would fly over everybody's automatic garage door would activate. Now that was in the 70's I do believe, what could have been developed since then?

Ehhh, Emp Cannon is easy to make.. cost like 80k-ish for on 21' Dim x 80' long..

IMO, that was only that is a coincident...

shhh, just deleting some actual top secret info there is a war on loose lips sink ships, but also open lies make sub that launch fighters, so hard to judge.

The radar in the nose of a fighter plane would cook you like a microwave if you stood in front of it at full power.

At just the right angle this radar could cause power problems if the beam from the radar was lined up with the power lines over a distance. antenna effect.

EMP pulse is a microwave pulse. Power lines act as antennas for EMP pulses and can cause damage to electronics miles away from the pulse area.

More and more power systems are using solid-state electronics to control the power switches and other systems.

Solid-state electronics are susceptible to microwave interference.

Microwaves can travel long distances over power lines.
