Wind turbine

[ipssoff]

Does anyone remember the wind turbine in lincolnshire that was smashed back early 2009 and if so what was the outcome of that? Because at the time they said they were doing an investigation and they would have the results in 2 weeks, 2 years later and no answers to the public. (As far as I know)
By the way UFOs, paranormal & conspiracy is a great part to the forum. Something I wasn't expecting when I joined.

im sure i remember reading that the investigation concluded something along the lines of rotor malfunction causing the blades to change their angle or something similar then with the strong wind catching the rotors and ripping one off the turbine so no alien foulplay im afraid

The conclusions were published a few weeks later:

Here's an interesting video of what can happen if turbine blades aren't feathered to reduce resistance in storm conditions:

And I always thought Taranis hit it.

Test flights around the area.MOD screaming it wasn't us!

Sounds like the MOD 'doth protest too much' for my liking.
