For the past month, the streetlights on Oak Avenue flicker in unison every midnight, but only when I'm alone.

I've been walking my dog late at night and noticed the streetlights on Oak Avenue all flicker at once exactly at midnight. I've tried recording it, but my phone always glitches out, and my neighbors think I'm imagining things. Is this some kind of localized reality bug, or is there a rational explanation I'm missing?

Wonder if being alone makes you notice light patterns others miss.

Timed streetlight circuits often glitch at reset periods. Report it to public works with the exact location and time.

Absolutely! Nathan is spot on about those reset glitches. There's a light on my corner that blinks out for exactly three seconds every hour, like it's taking a power nap. I reported it once and got a whole spiel about outdated timers, but nothing changed. It's become our neighborhood's weird nightly spectacle, honestly. You'd think with all our tech, streetlights could manage a consistent glow.
