London, Jan 08: A wind turbine in Conisholme, Lincolnshire, has been destroyed – and locals are blaming UFOs for it.
Locals have reported sightings of a bizarre tentacle-shaped UFO above a local wind farm, on the night before the wind turbine was mysteriously destroyed.
Several residents said that they were woken by the smash after strange lights were spotted streaking towards the 290ft-tall generator on a wind farm.
Dorothy Willows, who stays half a mile from the scene, was in her car when ‘strange lights’ loomed in the evening sky.
She was among dozens who spotted the mysterious flashing orangey-yellow spheres over Lincolnshire — where the turbine was left wrecked.
“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,” the Sun quoted Dorothy, of Louth, as saying.
Hours later there was an almighty smash.
Dorothy said: “My husband Stephen was woken at 4am by the bang.”
John Harrison, another witness, described how he looked out of his landing window and saw a “massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground” over the wind farm.
“It was huge. With the tentacles it looked just like an octopus,” he said.
Baffled power chiefs said of the smash, which left one of the wind turbine’s giant 65ft blades torn off, in Conisholme, Lincs: “We have a team investigating.”
There was no trace of the missing blade.
A UFO expert said: “We are very excited.”
