ARVADA - Something in Arvada produced a frequency signal strong enough to knock out power to 40 garage doors in a tiny community.
The problem started two days ago in the 7000 block of Torrey Court. It encompasses a half mile radius.
"It's really weird," said Gina, who lives in the area. She did not want to provide her last name. "No one knows what it is."
Gina thought she was alone, until she learned of other neighbors dealing with the same problem.
"I think it's amazing," Colin Cooper, another neighbor, said. "What if it's a UFO?" he joked.
Experts say anything with a wireless signal could affect garage doors.
"Like Christmas lights, coffee makers, appliances," Gina said.
The pros told Gina and other neighbors small items couldn't have caused this big of a problem. So whatever it is, it is rather large.
"I wish we knew," Gina said.
For now, it remains a mystery. The 40 people who live on Torrey Court have to find a way to fix their garage doors.
