    Lincolnshire wind turbine

    Just been watching this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle5473254.ece also watched it earlier today on TV. What could have caused this? Ball lightning maybe?

    Hmmmm....
    Interesting.

    i doubt it's UFO's as i've been flying at night for about 3years (i know its not that much) and i've never seen any thing and i've only met one captain i've flown with who says he's seen something.

    "She said: "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."
    And in today's age of camera phones, almost everyone owning a digital compact and SLR's becoming more common, no one took a photo?

    I don't mean the media broke it - I just mean they often exaggerate things for a story.

    Re: Lincolnshire wind turbine

    Watercooled, he was joking with you

    the term UFO is also being taking straight away as a flying saucer or something along those lines, when in fact all it means is an unidentified flying object, so, a plane or anything.
    but yeah, they do mean aliens kinda, but they have no proof and it's much more likely someone went for a joyride in a Harrier and accidently hit it

    Re: Lincolnshire wind turbine

    One blade weakens, snaps off & collides with the other two blades? Speed of it rotating smacks the hell out of said broken blade sending it off into the distance?
