Don't Aliens like "Green" Energy?



Here on the East coast our landscape is peppered with Wind Turbine farms, both offshore and near shore. Which is a great because they not only generate environmentally sustainable energy but show us the wind direction for surfing at a glance. However the damage last week, to one of these wind turbines, situated a few miles inland, caused in mysterious circumstances has lead to speculation that a UFO struck it. UFO sightings in our area have been numerous recently and unexplained lights were seen in the night sky over the wind farm the evening the damage occured. No one has yet to ask the question though, was this a deliberate attack by aliens, perhaps funded by a major oil corportation? or did the UFO just bump into it? Heres the story and video from the BBC.....the truth is out there



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.

Mr Palmer said: "I actually saw a white light - a round, white light that seemed to be hovering.

"That is the only way I can explain it - it wasn't a flare-like light - it was just round, white light with a slight red edge to it that seemed to be over the wind turbines."

Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, said the company was keeping an open mind about the incident.

"We don't have an explanation at the moment as to what the cause was," he said.

"We have been crawling all over it and have sent bits off for analysis to see if we can work out what caused it.

"Until we have some idea, some plausible explanation that it was not a UFO, I don't think we should rule it out".

He added: "To make one of these blades fall off, or to bend it, takes a lot."
