benhben Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7817378.stm Wonder what did it? One thing that does annoy me though is that everytime someone mentions UFO, its met with ridicule and as a joke, which ultimately stops any serious investigations into the matter gaining any credibility.

Paul Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7817378.stm Wonder what did it? Ice fell off a plane, hit the turbine and then melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The thing that always gets me is that everybody seems to associate UFO with flying saucers and nothing else. Unidentified Flying Object. Be it meteor, Brad Friedels dodgy goal kicks or lanterns with balloons on, it doesn't have to be a circular saucer with neon lights on the bottom.

grizfoot Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Whatever it was it must have been hit the turbine with some force. It seems that ice thrown from a neighbouring turbine seems to be the likely conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Definately a UFO. There will be bits of it scattered all over the place. But the Government will have gathered up all the remains and taken them to a secret location. Then scientists will try to work out how aliens from another planet have managed to cross space & time yet crashed into a windmill. It's a right puzzler isn't it?

Flopsy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 nah it was seagull getting lost. If a UFO, or plane for that matter had hit it, there would 1) Be bits of turbine spread all over the place, not a slightly dented turbine blade; and 2) A large smoking hole where the plane/UFO crashed. Or its something a lot less exciting and much more plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 You've been watching too many action movies Flops. Not all crashes result in humongous explosions. Plus, who says this "UFO" is made of metal, or has turbines. Might not even be visible. Might not even be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flopsy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 who said anything about a humongous explosion? its all about kinetic energy and the effect that has on something. Planes usually scatter around a bit if they crash. Also if it wasnt solid, it wouldnt have damaged the turbine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes usually scatter around a bit if they crash. Also if it wasnt solid, it wouldnt have damaged the turbine A tidal wave of water is liquid but it surely could damage the turbine. Just because it's not solid doesn't mean it can't do damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Aye. And gas, say wind, has never damaged anything either. Oh wait. And the kinetic energy part isn't what I meant. You referred to a smoking hole. Looks more like something crashed into it from an angle rather than shooting down from above (which would almost certainly leave a mark).

You referred to a smoking hole. Looks more like something crashed into it from an angle rather than shooting down from above (which would almost certainly leave a mark). If it was gas or water then its likely that the whole turbine would be damaged rather than specific blades. The media seem to have lost interest now. Guess well never know what it was.

BuckyRover Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ice fell off a plane, hit the turbine and then melted. Most plausible reply. It's like killing somebody with a vegetable then eating said vegetable. No evidence! (Partridge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
