Scientists at NASA warned radiation from a massive solar flare would hit Earth on Friday the 13th, 2014. During that cosmic pummeling, an unprecedented event occurred. Satellite TV subscribers in the U.S. Northeast, the upper Midwest and parts of Canada reported their service was interrupted by what appeared to be a morning news segment from the near future.
