Certainly interesting, just what do you think could have caused this damage guys... My first thought was a flock of birds, however thinking about it, these things will have bird damage all the time and bearing in mind each blade is 66ft long I cannot see birds doing this, besides if a flock of birds went through there would be dead birds around on the floor.

Thing is look at the way one of the blades is buckled, something has hit that for sure.
Probably the other blade after it broke off. The most likely answer is defective materials, causing one blade to break off then hitting the other blade.

Beat me to it.
But it's easier for them to blame it on a UFO, doesn't make them look as bad that way...

A small group of friends and I regularly go out causing mischief. We have moved on since the days of cow tipping ... and have progressed to the more exiting and ballastic fun of 'cow flinging'.
Last weekend we were up in Lincolnshire area testing one of our new cow-o-matic trebuchets .... and we got a bit drunk and decided to play cow skittles using the wind farm as our target.... being as we could see the little lights flashing on top.
Suprisingly the first launch was a direct hit.... and to our shock it bent one blade and sent the other shooting off ... rather than our predicted cow-mince-o-ramma that we were expecting.
We quickly drove up in a flatbed and picked up the suprisingly undamaged but now deceased cow - yes we always use live ammo - the MMOOOOOOooooooooooooo........ splat is sound is much more satisfying.
No one saw us, so we dumped the bovine projectile in a ditch about 15 miles away and scarpered.
Sorry for all the fuss - we have learned our lesson that alcohol + live beef death from above = not a good mix, and in future we will be a lot more careful.
PS ... we are available to book for weddings, birthday parties or for larger events, our syncronised display team the Red Udders can be booked. Night Parties catered for with cow-fart-ignition tracer rounds.*
* cows provided, but clean up and damaged roofes, cow shaped dents in cars or flattened grannies are at the customers own risk.

The UFO allegedly responsible for wrecking a wind turbine could have been a secret unmanned stealth bomber on test flights.
The claim came from Ministry of Defence insiders who reportedly said that a black delta-wing craft called Taranis was making test runs on the coastal bombing ranges at Donna Nook and North Coates in Lincolnshire, near to the site of the damaged turbine.
The Taranis, named after the Celtic god of thunder, is about the same size as a Hawk jet and is equipped with stealth equipment and an 'autonomous' artificial intelligence system.

Maybe they are silent
