Could ‘Tentacle’ UFO Have Destroyed UK Wind Turbine?
Several residents of a remote English village have reported sightings of a bizarre tentacle-shaped UFO above a local wind farm, on the night before a wind turbine was mysteriously destroyed.
Engineers from energy suppier Ecotricity are investigating why a blade more than 20 meters (66 ft) long fell off the turbine at a wind farm in Conisholme Fen, Lincolnshire, early on Sunday morning. In the meantime, locals are coming to their own conclusions after many of them saw strange flashing tentacle shaped lights above the wind farm on the night before the damage occurred.
John Harrison, a resident of nearby Saltfleetby, said he looked out of his window on Saturday night to see “a massive ball of light,” and “tentacles going right down to the ground” over the site. “It was huge” he said “At first I thought it must have been a hole where the moon was shining through but then I saw the tentacles – it looked just like an octopus.

“It was an incredible site; I have never seen anything like it before. I have no idea what it was, all I can say is what I saw”.
However, officials are remaining tight-lipped about the cause of the damage. A spokesman from Ecotricity said, “This has never happened before so we really have no idea what might have gone wrong. We will conduct a thorough inspection of the turbines to see if there is a problem and put it right.”
Damage to wind turbines, although rare, is more common than many would anticipate. This link provides dramatic footage of a wind turbine appearing to spin wildly out of control before shattering and falling to the ground.

To clarify a couple of things! This happened in my county and our news station interviewed at least 12 witnesses, none of them seemed anything less than genuine to me. Remote villages are not like southern rednecks, this village really isnt that remote at all, only 20 minutes away from a seaside town to the south and a port to the north so its not like back of beyond!
could it have been static???
We have had very cold nights & dry atmosphere’s. Turbine blades spinning could create electrostatic discharge

It’s all very wierd. The lights i’m sure could be explained, but the blades on the windmill. Thats a bit harder to work out. People claiming that it’s to do with the cold, how could it bend one of them? And wouldn’t there be traces of the missing blade if it was to do with the cold? I’m not trying to claim anything, but the evidence this time suggests firm proof we have visitors.
like southern rednecks! This is England man, the country that has given the world a little more then fries, strange clothes, rap, the bush family and britney spears, know what i mean…
There is a lot more to us then bad teeth you know!
mind you, i’ve been to lincolnshire and it is the kind of place where they point when a car goes past…
Have a look at these objects which have been sighted at least 3 times to my knowledge in the UK since December last year.
Please mind the music - I realise some of you won’t like psytrance so don’t forget you have a volume control.

Here’s a similar sighting in Peckham

If I can give a little of my input, here it goes - work with me for a second here. It’s time to wake up everyone. This plays a very important part in all of your lives. To deny the existance of these sightings is really to deny yourself the truth about reality and keep yourselves in unkown slavery. This will keep you from knowing what has been happening to you all of your lives without your knowledge. Some of those who don’t want you to know of the existence of these beings are the same who will try and stage a hoax invasion as their next terror plot. These are the ones who work towards a New World Order to bring way to an apocalypse they wish to stage in order to evoke a wicked religous belief they haved strived towards for many generations. They will not have their way because the people of the world will unite and draw support from them as they awaken to what has been occuring. This is not paranoid exaggerated nonsence or manipulated misinformation, this is the real mcKoy. There is much to learn about this and it’s all freely available if you look. It only requires you to open your mind. The world and our reality is changing rapidly, and it you have the choice to be a part of it or fight it by mantaining lives that our not in line with the being which we are part of like bacteria are part of us - Earth.
It’s now time to realise who you are and why you’re here. Thanks for reading this far. I hope I haven’t offended you but really now, we really don’t have long to change our ways before we destroy our ability to live on this planet. By supporting the ones who don’t care about us or our planet we are signing up for our own murder and the murders of our children and so forth. Take of the blindfold of skeptism and the revelations will become apparent.
To a better world.
Guys, save yourself some time and get the explanation by reading my blog post

sorry mark and evie!
I should have realised it’s not cool to insult the English as they are indeed the makers of our language. The one where we spell color wrongly.
My first thought was Photoshop job. But IF this is for real, the reports read like ball lightning. Funny how to some, everything has to be UFOs. Just as with crop circles there will turn out to be a rational explanation, not that that will satisfy the irrational. Do turbine blades, usually made from high density wood, plexiglass or composite material [GFRP] essentially strips of fibreglass glued together, distort like this even?
Thinking about the number of military bases nearby, I’d be inclined to ask Mr Putin if all his spyplanes came home alright.
Blade actually fell off some hours after apparent collision event, which suggests a glancing blow.
F3 Tornado believed by East Yorkshire residents to have engaged something out to sea on the same night.
Russian airforce known to use windfarms as radar cover when intruding on UK airspace, which they do more often now than in the cold war.
Mr Putin needs to lose a few of his toys, then he will stop playing dangerous games with them.
I think they actually found the blade on the ground below. I don’t understand why some reports are saying it was missing. I was proper intrigued until I found out the blade wasn’t missing!
