UFO Collides with Wind Turbine? |

January 7, 2009 - UFO Hits Wind Turbine, Reports U.K. Sun.
As you can see in the photo [double click picture for a better view] the wind turbine has one blade missing and a second blade crumpled after reported collision of unidentified light with the turbine in a wind farm near Louth, Lincolnshire, England. The other turbines were unaffected by whatever the force was that mangled the damaged turbine.
On January 7, 2009, at 4 AM in Louth, Lincolnshire, on the east coast of England, local residents were awakened by a sound and some reported a giant explosion in the air after several other residents earlier in the night had reported seeing flashing orangey-yellow spheres over Lincolnshire where the wind turbine was seriously damaged.
The Sun reports this statement from the U. K. Ministry of Defence: Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each (UFO) sighting.
Keep in mind that UFO means 'Unidentified Flying Object'It does not mean a flying saucer with little green aliens (or blue or grey ones for that matter) or any other sci-fi creation you can imagine.
...however if it were a a plane or helicopter there would be wreckage that’s for sure. You can’t swat a plane with something the size of a couple of buses and have it fly away unscathed! I would also like to point out that I would think that intelligent aliens would be better pilots. Then again I have seen a few humans that are yet to master the art of driving a car so ummm... perhaps not the best argument.
These turbines do fail from time to time, and when you are talking about something with that size and mass.
When they go, baby they go!Here is an example of a wind turbine that has had a gearbox and breaking mechanisim failure spinning out of control.
...and from that you can see what I mean!
Former Ministry of Defence employee, Nick Pope, said: "This could be one of most significant UFO incidents for years. If something collided with the wind turbine, as seems certain, there may be residue on the damaged parts that could help solve this mystery. In the last two months there have been two near collisions between UFO's and police helicopters, and now this."
