I had a look at the paper this morning!

Seems strange the actual Blade is missing, could be somthing and yes i do belive there is somthing out there.

However alot of people get over exited about stuff now and spoil things.

It is intresting all the same though.  :)

Definately a UFO. A flying object that is, as of yet, unidentified. ::)

The little green men landed, thought the turbine was an inhabitant of earth. When they tried to communicate and got peed off because the ignorant earthling wouldn't reply, they blew it's arm off in anger  :D

Where I work, we have tested sections of some turbine blades and they are not weak little things, if as the bbc reported a light aircraft hit it, the aircraft would def have crashed.
I would guess the missing blade broke due to some defect and hit the damaged blade.
Would actually love it to be aliens, but I doubt it.

I saw an excellent cartoon long ago. A flying saucer had landed and one of the occupants was chatting away to a petrol pump. His mate was saying to him "It's no good talking to him, he cant hear you, he's got his dick in his ear" ;D

I'd say it was almost certainly ball lightning. The witnesses talking about "octopus" tentacles would indicate an electrical grounding, the same as you get in a plasma ball. The reason it "went" for the turbine was the the same as any lightning bolt, i.e. it was attracted by the metal..

Ball lightning is very rare and its causes are not understood well. However, if you do a Google search you will find some astonishing accounts e.g. http://www.hsv.com/weather/unusual/

No green men, I fear.

I dont dis-believe but don't 100% believe either, but that picture to be honest the image looks like the sun shining through a cloud if you ask me. As said that could've been lightning too.

Well, in a sad moment I watched Space 1999 and UFO yesterday, remember them from the late 70's?
So I feel it must have been a UFO... ;D ;D ;D
