Which social media supposedly went offline? I've had no interruptions in service on either Twitter or Facebook for at least the past few weeks. As far as objects getting shot down, I don't believe that for a second. I'm sure it's a distraction piece. The power situation, on the other hand, I do believe. A storm recently went up the East Coast.

Also NORAD was ddos-ed and supposedly some other secure military links/networks were hacked and went down just yesterday when they were chasing the 4th object.
