Little known fact, that's how the U.S. crippled Cuba's power grid.

Jesus dude, do you not know how a power grid works? 
Unless the power lines are buried, you can knock out power with just about anything... I've seen squirrels do it...
Throw a wire coat hanger across a line that comes in contact with something not grounded, it does the same, mylar balloons just makes it easier.... Knocks out the pole breaker...

Metal and exposed high voltage electrical don't play nice.
US has a bomb that explodes above electrical transmission and substation that scatters metal shavings/foil and fricks up everything

Can a Mylar balloon knock out power in your area?
Hell, the carbon content in smoke from cane field burns has taken out 500kv transmission lines in Pointe Coupee many times.
