There’s an investigation going on in Lincolnshire, UK. Locals are saying that an UFO might be the cause for damage to a wind turbine. A strange light appeared from nowhere causing damage to the giant whirlygig.

Hmm … well, I don’t believe in UFOs, and I suppose there are people who don’t believe that wind turbines are a viable source for energy. i wonder what they are going to do with this. An act of God? Something else?

Apparently, the culprits made off with the third prop. Or perhaps it landed in France somewhere.

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane! No, it’s a prop off a wind turbine!”

“Huh!?”

Wind turbine usage is having enough trouble gaining traction. GP is sure they don’t need interference from Unpredictable Foreign Obstacles. Don’t you say?

India-based Suzlon Energy Ltd – the largest wind turbine manufacturer in Asia, announced on Friday that one of their wind turbine blades in the US, suffered an extremely rare and unusual incident, accidental breakage.

We’re talking about a “single V2 blade on a Suzlon S.88 turbine”, while the rest are still operating without interruptions, running safely as planned. They are now trying to figure out what might have caused the breakage and what might have been the circumstances.

Meanwhile, based on speculations that the Indian company may lose their contracts in the US due to these incidents, Suzlon shares have plunged 29 percent to 55.20 rupees in a Mumbai market that was down nearly 10 percent.
