The wind turbine at the centre of the mystery |
An octopus-shaped UFO was reported flying through the air hours before a wind turbine was destroyed in mysterious circumstances.
Dozens of residents claimed to have seen bright flashing spheres is the skies near Louth, Lincolnshire, where a 290ft turbine was mangled in a mystery collision.
“It sounds unbelievable but actually we don’t have any explanation at the moment.
“Give us a few days and if there is a rational explanation we will find it.”
Robert Palmer, chairman of East Lindsey District Council, was among the dozens of people who reported seeing strange lights in the sky in the evening before the incident. Another witness, John Harrison, described looking at the farm out of his window and seeing “a massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground”.
UFO enthusiasts have described the incident as potentially one of the most significant encounters in years, and have called for the damaged parts to be tested to uncover the cause of the collision.
A more down-to-earth theory is that the turbine was damaged due to the build up of ice on the blades.
The Ministry of Defence said that it did not investigae UFO sightings unless there was evidence of a potential threat to the UK.
