UFO hits wind turbine!
Edited on Thu Jan-08-09 11:06 PM by pokerfan
But Klaatu said we should go green! Talk about sending mixed messages. :shrug:

A WIND turbine stood wrecked yesterday with one of its giant 65ft blades torn off — after it was hit by a UFO.

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.

2. The witness, Lesley Whittingham, looks like an alien in that shot.
Are they sure she wasn't just backing the family UFO out of the garage and hit the turbine with a mirror? :P


(glad I didn't see the remake of Day the Earth Stood Still... what do aliens care about how we treat the planet? "Oh no! They're carting their landfills into outer space!: )

4. Power lines have motors so the airplanes won't get snagged
