It's obviously just a blade failure, this is quite common in wind
turbines particularly certain makes.

If a UFO had hit it there would be more than one blade broken off, think
about it, these things spin very fast with a lot of torque, the whole
lot would shear if the bade set was stopped due to hitting an object.

 Notice how one blade is broken, the other is bent and the other hardly
touched, exactly what would happen if one blade broke (due to the
record cold weather we've had recently) and collided and hit the other
blade, this means one blade failed leading to the damage.

So an eight legged ET did not do it, it was like all the other wind
turbine failures, i.e structural!

Best,
Mark

Explosion in sky now!!!

London - A giant wind turbine in Britain has been wrecked after
probably being hit by an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), the Sun
newspaper reported Thursday.

Locals living near the wind farm in Lincolnshire, in the east of
England, reported seeing "strange lights" streaking towards the tall
generator during the night on Sunday.

One of its three giant blades came off completely and another was left
twisted and severely damaged, said the Sun.

While UFO experts said they were "excited" by the incident,
investigators told the BBC that they were working at other possible
theories to explain the "unique incident."

These included lightning, ice falling from an aircraft and material
fatigue.

Dorothy Willows, who lives near the town of Louth where the incident
took place, told the Sun: "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."

Another witness reported a "giant explosion in the air."

John Harrison, a local man, had yet another observation. He reported
seeing a "massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the
ground" over the wind farm.

"It was huge. With the tentacles it looked just like an octopus,"
Harrison told the Sun.

The Ministry of Defence in London said: "Unless there is evidence of a
potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each
sighting."
