By dawn the 290ft-tall turbine was a wreck, with one of its three blades twisted while another was missing. It was later found on the ground nearby....

Those mysterious lights were actually the fireworks Emily's brother Tim had bought at the local garden centre for the 80th birthday party of dad Peter Bell. "It was a medium-sized fireworks display with absolutely no ballistics, and the fireworks were mostly dropping over my parents' house.

Maybe a Kennedy was at the helm. Then again, a Kennedy and Jello shots would not be mutually exclusive.
So now we have clear evidence - Aliens from Remulac 9 are indeed cooperating with Big Oil to destroy alternative energy.
It’s got nothing to do with nations educational systems. Is it indicative of U.S. educational systems when U.S. citizens witness such phenomena? If you have never witnessed such a thing then it is naturally going to confuse and spark your interest.

I have seen these, probably a little more often than most, as I know when to look. They are just as awe-inspiring even when you know what they are.
