A Mylar … metallic helium apparently blew out the circuits … according to a witness.
Power went off across much of western Malibu … only to be restored about 25 seconds later .
But not all customers were so lucky.
Houses along Busch Drive were not powered back up immediately.
And some residents further away said they were having brownouts ;;; low voltage.

Te Malibu city council is considering outlawing Mylar balloons … because they casue explosive electrical outages in fire country … and because they float around forever and do not break down in the ocean.
