A 290-foot turbine was mysteriously mangled overnight on Sunday near Louth in Linconshire, United Kingdom with local residents claiming to have seen an octopus-like UFO. Experts have ruled out most of the more believable explanations, like a meteor or lightning strike.
Dozens of people in the area say they saw bright flashing spheres in the sky that night, with one woman claiming that she saw an object fly near the wind farm. Others described the lights as being linked to ‘tentacles’.
From The Telegraph:
Dorothy Willows, who lives a mile and a half from the crash site, 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.”
Later on Sunday night, one of a turbine’s 65ft blades was ripped off and another severely damaged.
The Health and Safety Executive described the damage as a “unique incident”, and the energy firm Ecotricity which owns the 20-turbine site say it has no explanation.
“We are struggling to find an answer, yes, and it has been quite interesting to read the reports in the press about what people have seen,” Dale Vince from the company told BBC Radio Four’s Today programme..
“It sounds unbelievable but actually we don’t have any explanation at the moment. Give us a few days and if there is a rational explanation we will find it.”
UFO enthusiasts are calling for testing on the damaged parts to uncover the cause of the collision, hoping to find evidence of an alien encounter. Others suspect that the turbine was damaged due to a buildup of ice on the blades.
Well, I think it’s obvious what happened here. Extraterrestrials are getting impatient that we haven’t destroyed ourselves yet, and wind turbines are evidence that we might be sticking around a while longer. So, they’re trying the nonviolent approach by helping us along. Bye bye wind turbines, bye bye human race.
