NASA is focusing on the sun, this video was intercepted from the NASA satellite showing the Sun pulsing. Soon the sun will go out. We have been observing this pulsing for months and what we observe is immediately uploaded for the world to see.

I live in a little town called Waterfall in Durban, South Africa. The following is something myself and at least two others experienced around 3 hours ago now.
Between 12:00PM and 12:30PM today, 21 Feb, my Mom and I were talking in the kitchen when something strange happened. For a split second everything went dark. Outside as well as in. The electricity, the sun, all light dissapeared! It is a cloudless, sunny, summer day. I don't want to speculate to much but it was as if we jumped dimensions. We both looked outside and then at each other.
I asked my Mom, "Did you see that?"
she said, "Yes! What the (expletive) was that?!"
I don't know if it is relevant, but a plane was flying overhead.
I followed my Mom outside, the plane went so fast that it was gone before we could catch a glimpse.
(I just went to confirm things with my Mom, my aunt just arrived, she says she experienced the same thing at the same time. She lives over the hill from us, almost from where the plane would have flown. It came from the north.)
My mom and I both felt a little funny, our eyes and stomach especially. Nothing crazy, almost a little faint. That lasted a few seconds. strange.
In addition to this story, I experienced the same thing when I was 14, 10 years ago. I was in standard 7 and in a second floor classroom, sitting at a table with 5 other people. The same thing happened.
Everything went dark. We looked up at eachother and the question arose, "did you see that?". Some say they just blinked, others swore, like me and my friend Ross, that we hadn't. I looked around and I thought other students noticed it too. A lot of them were looking around. I asked a lot of them about it after class, some say they experienced it while others weren't sure, or were sure they had blinked.
This happened again about a week or two later (if memory serves me well). After a recess period while lining up before going back to class, my friend Ross and I were talking and we both experienced a black out.
So, I've experienced this outside as well as in and with multiple witnesses and I, and others, have no clue as to what can cause this.
If anyone as any leads on what this could be, or how it happens, it would be appreciated.
If anyone has experienced a black out like this, or something you find similar, or that could contribute to the topic please post your experiences/information.
Please no flaming, trolling, off-topic posting... we know this is burdensome, even in a vauge topic such as what I've posted above.
Thanx and happy posting
*my first thread, I apologise if it sucks, or has been covered already. I tried searching and googling with no luck. Delete if need be. I'm a noob if this is in the wrong forum, or could be in a better one please move it. Thanks to MODS for taking care of us noob flock

I was on a cig break at just after 10:30 this morning. I was having a chat with someone else at work whilest enjoying lovely clear blue sky's with the sun beating down on me, when all of a sudden... someone hit the dimmer switch lol.
The sun blinked off for a split second.
If it was was just me that saw it, i'd of thought that the sun was playing tricks on my eyes, but both myself & my buddy from work saw it.
It's not really anything big, but I'm just wondering if anyone know's what could explain this???
There were no clouds in the sky
No birds / low flying airplanes were about
The sun seemed to be shining a hell of a lot brighter a couple of minutes after this happened.
I'm at Milton Keynes, England.

Im in u.k England in a place called Shinewater which is within Eastbourne..
It is now about 9.20am and relativity bright, and the sky just went dark around this area, like night time dark, but no stars or clouds just pitch black...Quite a few people saw this so i'm not hallucinating...My neighbour believes it was a sudden eclipse but wouldn't that make everywhere else dark?
I could clearly see the area known as "The Downs" which is a rough bunch of high hills and it was not dark over there from what i could see.. it seemed like the light within about a .... a mile radius perhaps? just simply went dark, and I could very clearly see The Downs alight with natural light...the downs being quite a relativly high landmark you can see them from quite afar.
This may sound mad but it was like, kinda like...The sky was cracked almost. Like what i was seeing wasn't our sky...it was odd and there was a really eerie feeling going on, but i guess that's just human nature when faced with something unknown.
I posted this here because well...it was in the sky and you guys kinda deal with the sky, so perhaps a UFO of some sought?
But honestly, it just felt looked like the sky had cracked, im sure someone would've picked this up on there mobile phone or something and cctv, that has to be an option.
I'm gunna try my best to get this in some media format, i'll start with the local herald newspaper and see if i can get this higher because what i saw was not natural well, i for one believe it wasn't natural and i have a probable several 100 witnesses to this...but if you guys/girls do have a more sensible solution then mine then please do post instead of flaming and calling me a liar.
Anyway i have to goto work so i'll answer question when i get back, but i've done the best i can describing the event.
okay...this is odd:

A massive Earth directed Solar Flare that launched off the Sun on (April 9th 2012). The expected arrival date was 2 days later which was (April 11th 2012). This was also the day; the Earth just got rocked by all the magor Earthquakes such as a 8.6 off the coast of Sumatra, 7.0 Michoacan Mexico, 6.2 the off the coast of Oregon, 4.3 Utah, 5.0 North Indian Ocean, 6.9 in the Gulf of California & many other less magnitude quakes. So it clearly shows that Solar Flares/CME affect & have a magor impact on our Seismic activity dealing in reguards to Earthquakes & volcano eruptions

I missed seeing anybody claim the sun "actually" blinked out for any period of time. Most are trying to figure what obscured the sunlight. In my case, it couldn't have been sun related because even the gas stove fires were not visible.
There's a 1950 case in some town up North where the whole town had the sun obscured and the reasoning turned out to be a forest fire in Canada ... some people accepted the hypothetical reasoning, some didn't.
Lots of cases ended up as complete solar eclipses.
A couple ended with the deductive hypothesis that an airplane blocked the light.
And there are other hypothesis which more complicated.
Since the mind is electrical 2-8 Hz during awake periods ... my current guess (not even a hypothesis ... just a guess) for Mom's and my experience is an electromagnetic blip. Whether it was the result of a solar flare or terrestrial electromagnetics, I don't know.
Alternatively, it could be a perception phenomenon.
I think if somebody says, "The sun went out" that they meant it as a figure of speech.

I think you're on to something! This phenomenon seems to affect a small enough area, that not everyone will notice it (could have just blinked/been sleeping?).
If what we've been experiencing is electro-magnetic (or similar) it could explain this nicely. If this is a possible cause, how is this occuring? Is it radio/wireless technologies that are to blame, is it radiation from outside the earth eg. cosmic rays, solar flares, etc, is it something happening in the atmosphere? This is pure speculation, obviously. Could it be a cumulative result of all of these things, with localy energized particles affecting our ocular mechanics as to trip our eyes from receiving light (or sending the info to the brain). On the other side, where people have claimed a 'white-out', could that just simply be the opposite; an over stimulation of the nerves connecting the eyes to the brain?
I've never thought about trying to find historical cases of this. That could help, to see how far this experience goes back.
