Broken Wind Turbine

UFO claim over wind farm damage.

 

 

UFO enthusiasts are claiming damage to a Lincolnshire wind farm turbine was caused by a mystery aircraft.

 

The turbine at Conisholme lost one 66ft (20m) blade and another was badly damaged in the early hours of Sunday. County councillor for the area Robert Palmer said he had seen a "round, white light that seemed to be hovering". Ecotricity, which owns the site, said while investigations continued they were not ruling anything out - but the extent of damage was "unique".

The turbine is one of 20 at the Conisholme site, which has been only been fully operational since April 2008. The broken blade has been recovered and is being examined.

Local ufologists said they had received many reports of activity in the area and had teams searching for clues.

 

I don't usually post news stories but this one made me laugh, as interesting as it was. Seems like this whole village doesn't get much action in their already dull lives. What does everyone else think? I suspect vandalism, I'm too much of a man of logic to just assume it's a UFO crash, though it'd be great if it was.

Jealous city boy! tounge.gif Chances are all the villagers were having a whale of a time on the ale, stripped down the turbine themselves and in a drunken haze believed themselves to be a UFO. Man village life rules!

Shouldn't there be UFO parts lying somewhere in the vicinity if it crashed into the turbine? Oh right, aliens have powers to auto-heal their spaceships and disappear without a trace...as always.

Maybe the wind power broke it off..although I'm sure everyone wants it to be aliens.

Well, considering there isn't any wreckage in the vicinity it doesn't rule out the possibility that a Human aircraft disappeared without a trace.

There are many towns in northern United Kingdom that are affected by sonic booms of military jets, so it may well have been a UFO to the people of the town.

Was reading the paper today, MoD issued a statement saying they were testing stealth bombers. Panic over, people! Put your tinfoil away.

Well these turbines do have the ability to destroy themselves if they start malfunctioning. If the internal brakes fail they can start spinning so fast that the g forces pull it apart... usually starting with the blades.

 

One would check to see if the weather was especially windy that night to determine if that's a plausible theory.

 

I can't believe any man made craft struck and hit it, there's no way it would survive such a blow... you'd find wreckage from an aircraft nearby if that were the case.

 

I guess the thing could have failed as a result of poor construction or weak materials.
