Via the New York Times comes this ITN report about a wind turbine in England that seems to have been hit by an unidentified flying object, which we can only assume was an alien spacecraft. Apparently local observers saw lights moving rapidly across the sky one night last week, and the next morning, it was discovered that a nearby wind farm’s turbine had been damaged, with one blade missing and one bent. Sure, the Guardian says it could have been an ice chunk or fireworks, and the idea that intergalactic superbeings could manage to fly here across the vast reaches of space but aren’t smart enough to avoid fender-benders with windmills doesn’t make a whole lot of logical sense, but never mind, the spooky video report is highly entertaining. They can’t find the missing blade!! Plus, there’s got to be a way for Republicans to turn this news into a call for more drilling, right?
