I became aware of this piece of news through Temporary Temples News letter:
"A WIND turbine stood wrecked yesterday with one of its giant 65ft blades torn off -- after it was hit by a UFO.
Location Conisholme near Louth Lincolnshire
Locals were woken by the 4am smash after strange lights were spotted streaking towards the 290ft-tall generator on a wind farm.
Baffled power chiefs said of the smash in Conisholme, Lincs: "We have a team investigating." There was no trace of the missing blade. A UFO expert said: "We are very excited."
A woman motorist told how she saw a UFO zoom towards the wind farm and strike the 290ft turbine."
A local paper, Louth Leader, wrote (
Published Date: 06 January 2009):
"TUESDAY 13.20pm -
ENGINEERS from Ecotricity are working to establish how a 20m blade mysteriously fell off a turbine at Conisholme wind farm - but residents have their own conclusions.
