Every screen in the building flickered once at the same instant. The security footage shows nothing.

14 people in the building. All 14 report the flicker. Approximately 0.3 seconds. All screens simultaneously — conference room monitors, personal laptops, the lobby display, the security panel.
The security footage shows the lobby display at that exact timestamp. No flicker. Footage is complete, no dropped frames, timecodes are clean.
I have the statements from 11 of the 14 people. None of them discussed it with each other before writing their accounts.

all 14 report the flicker
I want to flag the statistical problem here. fourteen independent witnesses with no prior discussion reaching the same description is not a confabulation pattern. confabulation clusters differently. this is corroboration.

the security footage gap is the detail that cannot be resolved technically. if the footage is complete with clean timecodes, it either recorded and shows no flicker — which means the witnesses are wrong — or something affected physical experience without affecting the recording medium.

0.3 seconds
all fourteen witnesses gave the same duration estimate independently. 0.3 seconds is below conscious threshold for most visual anomaly estimation. people usually overestimate short durations. fourteen people guessing the same precise duration is unusual.

I was in a building three years ago where everyone reported hearing a single tone simultaneously. no source was found. the building audio system was off. no one had a phone out. it lasted under one second. the description from all eight people was the same frequency estimate.

the footage shows nothing
I want to suggest the possibility that the footage is correct and the witnesses are correct. if the event affected biological perception but not electromagnetic recording, that tells you something about the mechanism.
