ufo hits wind turbine?

This could be a job for Mulder and Scully:

Looks bizarre... they currently have no clue as to what could cause one wing of a wind turbine to fall off and one to bend...

The video is fun though, typical British humour.

Doesn't play here...

...but, why "one wing falling off due to structural failure and hitting trailing wing" is, apparently, out of the question?

[Technoid]

becuase the damage seems to indicate it hotting something spherical

The brakes broke, causing a RUD. The 'missing' blade described in some reports was at the base of the tower and power records show it happened a few hours before the 'ufo' event. I also find it difficult to buy that a highly maneuverable interplanetary/interdimensional vehicle couldn't see and avoid a windmill.

Don't you know that earth's gravitational field wreaks havoc on navigational systems?

It happened to Megatron.

It's not a UFO, it's a weather balloon!

[Technoid]

apart from that they should have found the remains of it, it fit with the damage

Well, Doc, if the birds can't evade it sometimes...

(come to think of it, what are the largest birds in England? )

Not interesting enough?

Northern Lasses!

Didn't see that one coming...

How could we not see this one...coconut bombardment by a flock of swallows!

[VJ]

Been watching "Monthy Python and the Holy Grail" again?

Unfortunatelly...nah (which partly justifies my late "eureka moment", I hope)

European or African swallows?

Here's the official explanation
