Keep "IFOs" Away from Dangerous Close Encounters
Decades of pop culture and sci-fi movies will tell you that UFOs pose a threat to mankind. However, flying saucers aren't the reason thousands of people are left powerless each year. Instead, it's the more familiar Identified Flying Objects (IFOs) – balloons and kites – that cause electric outages when entangled in power lines. Last year, CPS Energy reported that IFOs caused more than 100 electric outages that left about 18,000 customers without power.
