For real people? This is stupid stuff made by the same people who believe in paranormal activity…. they want to believe the wierdest things……. and even if aliens really did this then it was because the wind turbines kills birds. First of all There is no such thing as aliens being green men. The word aliens means life that is not from your home planet…… when someone says alien they think of a green man with big eyes….. Its all stupid movies getting to the youth. These are the types of aliens….. Reptillions, Greys, Blues, E.T, Nordic, And many more. Its ignorant people that say alien means a green man. Yes the peaceful and most of our galaxy is full of either lizard-like creatures and green men-like creatures. We are the creatures that are not smart and are corrupted by war, murder, greed, power, hatred, and ignorance. We have all this because we cant learn to share, have peace, and love all races. We humans need to change our ways now or it will be chaos on our world.

We are not very clever, 62 years on, and we still have not solved the mystery of unidentfied flying objects [whatever they are] Surely the best
answer to date to the serious Windmill damage is that an object of that nature simply hit it as it passed too close.[ I am 72 and wondering if it is safe to fly anymore] Dennis

Aliens hate green energy and want us to burn coal. Wasn’t that the plot of the Charlie Sheen classic THE ARRIVAL?

I’d argue this does point to a problem in efforts to speed us into entirely “green” energy too quickly. I love wind power turbines, but they have been documented to kill wildlife in a number of unfortunate ways, and are relatively expensive per Kw/hour. If storms take this kind of toll we may need to make some leaps in materials or engineering designs before we fast-track a lot more wind farms. We need them, but the evidence shows they have their drawbacks.

On more thing to RAJ– I don’t think skeptics would keep us believing IN a flat earth, I think it was the brash skeptics who noticed the little bits of evidence (shadows in different locations, lunar eclipses, etc.) who moved us to the round earth ideas. Show me a person using real science in UFOdom and I’ll accept that as a realm worthy of honor.

This is hilarious, I am sure we now have to put in a formal complaint to receive damages from the Interplanetary Parliament lol.

Sadly this was a lead story (last of the headlines ) on Channel 10 late news in Australia. They accompanied their 2-5 min (therabouts?) story here with fuzzy footage of a light in the sky & the damaged turbine, spun the “Flying Saucer did it!” angle further than Warnie (Aussie spun bowler – Non-cricket fans y’don’t know what you’re missing out on! ) The might’ve been ice or something rational idea was never mentioned & the channel ten news generally presented credulous tripe with nary a skeptic or critical thought in sight.

“Heck, even someone taking a shot at it with a rifle would explain what happened.”

In the UK ? It’s more likely that a UFO hit it.

@James,

It lends credence to Douglas Adams tongue-in-cheek theory that UFOs are actually teenaged aliens out joyriding.

I thought the best coverage of this event came from here: http://tinyurl.com/8qthvy.

“What seems to have happened is an alien being has travelled millions of light years across space from a planet we have never heard of, using technology we can only dream about, and then collided with a windfarm.”

Having never worked with a windmill I don’t know if this is possible, but aren’t windmills just large electric generators? Couldn’t the generator itself of been what was causing the strange lights? Depending on where and how the failure occurred its seems that a large generator could cause some arcing.

Mchl,

“Not only are those windmills messing up navigation sense of migratory birds”

Not a problem. They will evolve. The unfit ones are being weeded out.

Am I the only one who read Ecotricity as EcoTROCITY? Because that’s some pretty ecotrocious reasoning going on right there.

I suppose in fairness though, an object which is both airbourne and unidentified is, by definition, an Unidentified Flying Object. Unfortunately, the tabloids fail to grasp the principle that UFO doesn’t necessarily equal aliens…

PaulJ:

Yes, there’s a video on the net that suggests a flying cow. Priceless! And more likely than aliens.

Like I said here:

It was an Ungulate Flying Object!

Disappointing how The Beeb pushed this STORY. Turbines disintegrate on occasion: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/27/disintegrating_turbine/. Start a ‘para-normal’ story and how it runs. BBS Ed was pushing words into Turbine rep’s mouth.
