Has the tentacle UFO got something to do with the broken blades at Conisholme?Posted on 01/07/2009 9:29:39 AM PST by BGHater
ENGINEERS from Ecotricity are working to establish how a 20m blade mysteriously fell off a turbine at Conisholme wind farm - but residents have their own conclusions. It is believed the a blade fell off the 89m turbine and another was left badly bent on Sunday January 4.
Speculation has continued amongst residents in Conisholme and the surrounding villages with some saying they saw strange flashing tentacle shaped lights above the wind farm on the night before it happened.
Mr John Harrison, Saltfleetby described how on Saturday night, January 3 he looked out of his landing window to see a 'massive ball of light' with 'tentacles going right down to the ground' over Conisholme wind farm.
"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".
And although many believe the incident is an isolated one, reports of damage to wind turbines appear to be more common than people think:
* April 2005: A 40m blade of a turbine on a wind farm in Berwickshire, Scotland suddenly shattered. The failure was blamed on strong winds and icy weather conditions.
* November 2006: The tip of the rotor blade of a turbine in Oldenburg, Germany was ripped off following a sudden gust of wind throwing it into a field 200m away.
* January 2007: A family narrowly avoided tragedy when a 16ft blade spun off a wind turbine and crashed through the roof of their home in Belfast.
* July 2008: A giant wind turbine between Sheffield and Rotherham was shut down using a controlled deconstruction and the blades fell to the ground after cracks in the blades appeared.
* December 2008: Shards of ice were catapulted from an 80m high turbine in Peterborough leaving residents fearing for their safety.

Has the tentacle UFO got something to do with the broken blades at Conisholme?
Over here they shop around the bug eyed aliens, but in parts of Europe the aliens supposedly looked a lot like us, were blonde haired, etc. And no two blurry flying saucer pictures even remotely looked alike.
Even after several decades the fringe kooks and carnival barkers don't even have a basic template to operate from. Pathetic.
Tentacles?
Nay:
Tentacle...
(one eyed, no horn, not purple, neither flying nor people eatin.. but perceived as very sleepy ... is that wrong?)
fricken lazy alien invaders... just don’t make ‘em like they used to!
(? up for 20 hours, I know that scene but can’t remember it... you got me) and now I have to sleep... swell.
Atomic Submarine
Unidentified Flying Octopus..... But since its been identified then I guess that makes it an IFO.
Check the screws. I once saw a tire come off a car on the expressway, probably due to loose lug nuts.
They look so happy together.....I think.

I’m humbled... Perhaps Feep never showed it
(know Feep?)
(humbled in any case)
Flying Spaghetti Monster mistaken for a UFO?
I just LiveSearched Feep.
They’re cute!
“They’re cute!”
They?
Did you get the thing that looked like a light bulb? (Major Mudd)? (Boston)
If not, you got me again (and I’m going into hiding to catch up)
That would be a thing to behold!
