UFO hunters can now easily track the locations of sightings in the Louth area via a new map. Since August last year we have received numerous reports of strange lights or aircraft seen in the skies over the Louth area, most notable being the recent sightings surrounding the damaged wind turbine at Conisholme.
Work to get the wrecked 'UFO' wind turbine up and running at Conisholme wind farm is underway. Despite the explanation as to why one of the blades 'fell' and another was left bent still being unknown, workers are at the site and in the next few days, all three 65ft blades and the central hub will be replaced. The remaining bent blade will also be sent for analysis and the new blades are waiting at the site in Fen Lane along with the mammoth cranes needed to lift them.
The truth could actually be out there it seems after days of high-profile speculation surrounding an alien visit. The S****horpe Telegraph catapulted North Lincolnshire into the media spotlight after mysterious balls of light and strange tints were spotted in the skies. The exclusive story, snapped up and linked with an incident in Conisholme a day later, made the front page of the Sun newspaper and became a hit taking topic on ITN, BBC Radio Four's Today programme and CNN. But after all the furore, a family have revealed that they let off some Chinese lanterns in memory of a family member - an explanation for the mass sightings of orange lights throughout the festive period and new year.
Britain's accident prone "Octopus UFO" is just one of hundreds of unexplained sightings in the same area where a wind turbine was wrecked over the weekend, according to the latest reports. Britain's tabloid Sun newspaper Thursday proclaimed from its front page that a wind turbine was ruined after a UFO hit one of its 20 meter-long blades in Conisholme, Lincolnshire. It quoted residents who saw strange balls of lights in the sky and heard a loud bang. However, another British national newspaper said the lights were just fireworks from a staff member's dad's birthday celebration. Turbine experts suggested it was a simple mechanical failure.
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.
The Guardian News & Media director of digital content, Emily Bell, would like to make it clear that her family had no part in damaging any of those 65ft multimillion-pound turbine blades - but she can help explain those "massive balls of light with tentacles going right down to the ground", as one onlooker described them to the Sun. 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.
UFO blamed for destruction of wind turbine Locals in Lincolnshire reported seeing mysterious glowing orbs in the evening sky shortly before the giant structure was wrecked. More mundane theories for the cause of the damage - from a block of frozen urine dropped by a passing plane, to simple mechanical failure - have been mooted, but none has yet proved conclusive.
