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

God, doesn't it look dated and pathetic now.

Yes, and as a teenager I loved them, noticed a Mk 1 Cortina in Space 1999 ::) and all those 60's modern office blocks that get used, I love to see how they felt the future, inc cars, would look back then ;D ;D ;D

Looked at the "Have Your Say" section and found that someone else has already put it down to ball lightning.

Unless I'm mistaken, lightning does NOT show up on radar.

I would imagine it may have disintegrated. A neighbour of mine, who recently sadly died, once experienced ball lightning while camping in Wales. He said there were several balls which exploded on the ground like mortars (he was ex-army).  :o

I've seen the after effects of a lightning strike to a glider made out of composite materials and it's fair to say it is capable of that sort of destruction.

Oh, and a technician from the farm they interviewed on the radio today confirmed that the blade was indeed missing, but not for long. They found it lying in the grass under the turbine so I doubt it has been abducted by aliens.

I wouldn't mind betting that if one blade was damaged, the rest of the destruction happened purely because the thing was totally out of balance.

Hmm, with all the technology the little green men have to travel across the cosmos and they can't even avoid a whopping great propeller when coming in to land??
