“The 315 Blackout – Syracuse’s Forgotten Night”

By Gunther on March 15, 1986

On March 15, 1986, Syracuse experienced a citywide blackout that was completely erased from historical records. Locals who lived through it recall seeing strange lights in the sky, hearing distorted radio signals, and waking up with memories that didn’t match reality.

The next morning, newspapers reported nothing. The event was never acknowledged. Some believe it was a government cover-up. Others say it was a glitch in the timeline.

But the real ones remember.

March 15th is coming again… Will history repeat itself?

The Entire City Went Dark

Not just a simple power outage—this was something else. The kind of blackout where clocks stopped, radios played nothing but static, and even the streetlights failed to flicker. For six hours, the city ceased to function. Yet, when power returned at exactly 3:15 AM, there was no news coverage, no official explanation, and no acknowledgment that it even happened. It was as if the night had been erased from history.

Those who lived through it recall strange details that don’t add up—neighbors they’d never seen before and never saw again, missing time, and memories that didn’t match up with the people around them. Some claim they saw unmarked helicopters hovering above the Carrier Dome, others speak of an eerie green glow over Onondaga Lake, and a few insist they awoke in places miles away from where they had been before the blackout started. Yet, when they tried to talk about it, they were met with blank stares—even from friends and family who were supposedly there.
