SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November 18, 1955 0 Oregon Power Failure Mystery Portland OI.R) Bonneville Power Administration officials were ''in the dark" today as to the cause of a power failure over a large area of western Oregon yesterday afternoon. The failure came about 1:30 p.m. and knocked out about 80 per cent of the power supply in the Willamette valley. Affect ed were systems in Eugene,. Mc Minhvi'le, Forest Grove, Ban don, Drain and Canby; and PUDs and co-ops including Clat skanie, Benton-Lincoln, Central Lincoln, Blachly -Lao'e; Coos Curry; Douglas, Lane county, Sa lem and West Oregon. Portland's major power dis tributors also were hit. Outages ranged from seconds to minutes with the entire trou ble lasting about an hour. John P. Jolliffee, BPA chief of operations and maintenance, said "We are completely in the dark at the moment as to the cause." He added the cause would not be known until more complete reports were in from control centers and oscillograph records could be determined. Hospitals and radio stations went onto emergency power sup plies but the outage snarled traf fic by affecting signals, stopped elevators, halted clocks and caus ed other inconveniences. French Flying Saucer Said Acfually Meteor Paris (U.R) Pierre Danjon, Paris observatory director, said today the "flying saucer" which swept across French skies Thurs day was actually a meteor, "but what a meteor." "It was without doubt the most " magnificient aerolite I have ever seen in all my career," he said. Appearance of the me teor started rumors that a flying saucer had sped across the sky. "It was a wonderful color of emerald green and extremely bright," Danjon said.
