Hurray the sky's will be a bit more cleaner >.<
This headline would have made much more sense if the strange flying objects, bent on destroying a wind turbine in Conisholme, Lincolnshire, were sent by the oil companies. And yet eyewitnesses from the nearby areas said they saw just that.
"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," Dorothy Willows explained to The Sun, a UK tabloid paper. She spotted the alleged wind farm attack from her car, while other locals also described seeing "balls of flames" in the sky. According to CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/01/08/ufo.england.wind.turbine/index.html#cnnSTCText), just hours later a loud bang marked the collapse of one of the turbine blades.
Or so goes the fairy tale. Fraser McLachlan of GCube, which insures more than 25,000 wind turbines worldwide, said that although it's rare, wind turbines actually suffer mechanical failures up to six times a year. And as for those "balls of flames", they were actually birthday fireworks for Peter Bell -- another Lincolnshire local who turned 80 the day of the incident.
Moral of the story? Intelligent beings from other worlds have no interest in vandalizing our renewable energy equipment.
Or are they just annoyed were trying to stay alive?
