I agree. If this was happening on the grid by the time this blip had
traveled down the line to you it would have been so filtered through
transformers and other devices and you wouldn't see sharp edges
on the waveform but see a slightly rounded distorted waveform, not
the sharp transitions you are seeing. If it isn't your test equipment
then it is still something local to you like a loose electrical connection
in your house momentarily causing your voltage to drop and then
it arcs to reconnect the power. If you use an AM radio (not use a
radio in the A.M. ;-) ), you could hear this as static or clicks as you
observe this waveform on the screen.
