		<description>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</description>

		<description>Aliens hate green energy and want us to burn coal.  Wasn&#039;t that the plot of the Charlie Sheen classic THE ARRIVAL?

I&#039;d argue this does point to a problem in efforts to speed us into entirely &quot;green&quot; 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&#039;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&#039;ll accept that as a realm worthy of honor.</description>

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

		<description>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 &amp; the damaged turbine, spun the &quot;Flying Saucer did it!&quot; angle further than Warnie (Aussie spun bowler - Non-cricket fans y&#039;don&#039;t know what you&#039;re missing out on! ;-) ) The might&#039;ve been ice or something rational idea was never mentioned  &amp; the channel ten news generally presented credulous tripe with nary a skeptic or critical thought in sight. :-(</description>
