Its already being played down and ridiculed by press and others but could this be UFO damage or self destruction from stress and metal fatigue?.
I would think that most aircraft would be brought down by hitting one of these things but who knows?.
Sorry i could get any pictures because of the copyright but full story and pictures are found on the website.
Description
A WIND turbine stood wrecked yesterday with one of its giant 65ft blades torn off â€" 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.

If that were self destruction it would be like hitting the lottery or something. :D But then again even alarm clocks decided to break. ::)
Blades breaking or dropping off is quite common for wind turbine generators.
I find it hard to believe that any life forms advanced enough to traverse unimaginable interstellar distances in space and time would not have the ability to miss a giant windmill.
I mean they must have some kind of drivers ed.
With all the UFO crashes over the years, is it possible they come here 'hot rodding' and stewed on 'space saki' ?
Regerds...
C'mon... You must have all realised by now, it was little green Martians trying to use it as a Ferris wheel, after a drunken night out ::)
It could be the beginnings of the "Space Chav" culture ;D
Somebody showed me this on another forum.

that totally destroyed itself ... if you notice it broke and a blade came off which must have hit the second blade and the third blade hit the shaft and brought the whole lot down
when I saw this on the news I didn't think it was a UFO, I thought a more likely event was someone who had a problem with the wind farm being there who thought it spoilt their view had decided to fire a rocket at it or something but that was until I see how weak they are and just break themselves :D
but that doesn't explain the lights... who is watching a windmill at that time in the morning anyway, the news article I read said the bang woke them up so who actually saw the lights or was it after the event?
I believe in aliens visiting us but not in this case
You may also notice that the blades start to cripple just before they snap off. That could explain the remaining buckled blade on the turbine in the news.
I am sure it was an UFO, the aliens behind the wheel are concerned about our superior technology of wind energy, they see it is a threat to their technology.. somehow. Or maybe their GPS maps weren't updated with the new maps, which includes the windmill park.

It's not a common problem but blades and total failure of wind turbines is NOT A UFO THING
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FZtmlHwcA
Shows a total destruction due to high winds, The damage on the turbine posted is a single blade failure.
NO UFO's... there are NONE to hit them, ANYWHERE...
EDIT:
And this one, on fire with blade failure http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4N4HQv-UyUo&feature=related
ANOTHER blade failure http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zAx_W_pDluM&feature=related
ANOTHER: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ragRSNKE7Sc&feature=related
NO UFO's
Hello,
you wnat to see how a wind-turbine destroyes itself ?

Well,
as it seems, there were no high winds reported this night.
Also many people in the area were seeing strange lights in the sky, not just 2 people...
Also one blade seems to be missing !

UPDATE PLUS PHOTO: Are UFO's to blame for the chaos at Conisholme wind farm?
Flashing lights and loud bangs were witnessed the night the turbine was damaged (Photo: Dick Carbutt)

COULD the damage to a turbine at Conisholme wind farm be the work of UFO's?
Reports of a large bang and flashing lights skimming across the sky on the night a turbine on Conisholme wind farm was damaged have been told.
Mr Stephen Willows and his wife, Dorothy who live in Fen Lane close to the Conisholme wind farm have told the Leader how Stephen was startled in his sleep by a loud bang at 4am Sunday morning.
It is believed the damage which has left one of the massive blades missing and another bent out of shape happened at some point on Sunday night.
They also reported how on Saturday night, Dorothy and two friends were travelling to Louth by car, when Dorothy looked up at the sky to see lights travelling in a strange fashion across the sky towards the wind farm.
Dorothy said: "I don't believe in UFO's but it was a low flying object. This light seemed to be in the distance, and then it seemed to skim across the sky towards the turbines.
"It might not be connected, but it is just how your mind works when something like this happens â€" you think, could that have been the noise Stephen heard, or was that to do the light I saw? But until we know what has happened for definite it is very hard to say".
The couple went to the scene to have a closer look, and like many residents, take photographs of the damage. But, when they arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find they had little evidence to go on.
"When we got there, there was nothing to be seen - not even the propeller on the ground" added Dorothy.
"Those blades are pretty sturdy â€" we saw them when they were being constructed â€" whatever has hit them has made quite an impact. I was shocked to see that there was no debris left".
The company, Ecotricity have since sent engineers down to establish the cause of the damage to the turbine.
Relax everybody, just some alien playing Don Quixote. ;D

Only in the movies have 'aliens' used laser weapons to destroy human structures.
What if this is the just the early stages of false flag operations to make aliens the next "terrorist threat" ?
What a great excuse for getting everybody to willingly "verify" their humanity with DNA test and an RFID chip...to protect us from being infiltrated alien shape shifters of course.
Aliens are known for crop circles and abductions...senseless vandalism is more like human handy work.

Isn't it strange? that a couple who are unknown to the public can persuade the news and the ou community that a UFO hit a structure and lights were seen. Do they own a local B&B?
Yet history has shown us that when people come out with amazing things they can't or wont prove are debunked, funding removed to die destitute or put in the loony bin, inventers and spokesmen alike, but if you are a UFO spokesman you are ELEVATED to A REAL STORY, no proof, just your word is enough..
So why do you believe these people, because you want to? This without solid proof, pictures, many witnesses.
I do find that strange...
I guess if they were to examine the damage and investigate the failure there would be a sound scientific reason. Or would they find some markings, evidence of ET was D.U.I. ? Funny how they can supposedly make it from deep space, missing everything on the way only to hit a wind turbine once they reach there destination.
Without conclusive proof, we can speculate, hope, dream or attempt to debunk. Can we honestly say it was a REAL UFO?
I hear no mention of sabotage, many people hate them.
Strange.
When the same thing happened here it was blamed on a design flaw. No heavy winds, missing blade, another blade badly bent and damaged. Lights in the sky? Sure. Between the local ultralights, barnstormers and car headlights cresting the hills (maybe a little warming totty before bed for the viewer?) and all the lights atop the wind generators - there are plenty :)

missing wing?
peraps:
Stolen ? robbered?
This is aluminium.
If no controll . that high value metal that will no be
long time "alone"
GP
Stefan,
in the second video he said that possibly the german company got hold of the blade and examine it and will report
in about a week.
It is strange though.

Aliens need aluminum too. :)

Missing from the wind generator but not missing from the area. It was fiberglass with Al structure. All was on the ground about 50 meters away in a very big hole ;) I was told by the manufacturer's engineer the blades weigh 60 thousand pounds each. I know one blade is shipped per truck. These trucks pass my house almost daily.

One week has already passed...
Any updates on this one ?
Which company did the tests on it?
If somebody could post the phone number I could call them and ask them.
Regards, Stefan.
