UFOs are being blamed after a 65ft blade was torn off a giant turbine on a Lincolnshire wind farm.
Locals were woken by the 4am smash after strange lights were spotted streaking towards the 290ft-tall generator, reports The Sun. Power chiefs have launched an investigation into the incident, at Conisholme, which left one blade missing and another wrecked. Witness Dorothy Willows, who lives half-a-mile from the scene, was among dozens who spotted mysterious flashing orangey-yellow spheres over Lincolnshire. Mrs Willows, of Louth, said: "The lights were moving across the sky towards the wind farm. Then I saw a low flying object. It was skimming across the sky towards the turbines." Hours later there was an almighty smash. Mrs Willows added: "My husband Stephen was woken at 4am by the bang." John Harrison, another witness, described how he looked out of his landing window and saw a "massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground" over the wind farm. Council health and safety officials said even the strongest gale was unlikely to be responsible. The damage was described by the Health and Safety Executive as "unique". Wind farm company Ecotricity admitted: "We don't know what caused the problem. We are investigating." UFO-logist Russ Kellett, of Flying Saucer Review, said: "Balls of light were seen in the sky and the MoD has no explanation. We are very, very excited about this." Do you think it could have been aliens?

I think that a paper will make up or exagerate on anything that will sell and make money if people will read it !!!!!!!
I think that if Aliens could travel the distances that they would need to go to get here and at un-comprehendable speeds, using technology that is un-imaginable that they would be able to not crash into an object like this. |

Just off to the Pilansberg Game Reserve again... thought we'd do the African Holiday one last time before the big move north!!!... The Pilansberg is not as nice as the Kruger National Park but can't go there as the boys are too young to take Anti Malarial Medication and the KNP is a Malarial area - Pilansberg is not... will post some pics and video one of these days... My Avatar is a Pic of an Elephant I photographed
