<p>In a news update that should surprise no one, officials now say that the <a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2009/01/09/did-a-ufo-really-wreck-a-wind-turbine-in-the-uk/">destruction </a>of a £1 million wind turbine in the UK last month was <em>not</em> caused by a UFO. Despite local reports of a “massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground”, the turbine&#8217;s manufacturer <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4578998/UFO-wind-turbine-broke-due-to-mechanical-failure-not-collision-with-flying-object.html">believes </a>that material fatigue is responsible for a 65 foot blade flying off the device.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<h3>New details have emerged that may dispel rumors of a <a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2009/01/06/could-tentacle-ufo-have-destroyed-uk-wind-turbine/">tentacle-shaped UFO</a> reportedly striking a wind turbine in England.</h3>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/cleantechnica/files/2009/01/picture-12.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1838 aligncenter" src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/cleantechnica/files/2009/01/picture-12.png" alt="fixing a broken wind turbine" width="498" height="301" /></a></p>
<p>As we reported earlier this week, a <a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2009/01/06/could-tentacle-ufo-have-destroyed-uk-wind-turbine/">broken wind turbine</a> in the English county of Lincolnshire has officials completely baffled as to what may have caused one turbine blade to break-off and another to have a large, mysterious bend about half-way down its 20 meter length [not pictured here].</p>
<p>Some witnesses say they saw unusual flickering and cascading lights in the area a few hours before the turbine blades apparently broke at around 4 A.M. And that was all that British tabloid, <em>The Sun,</em> needed to publish Thursday&#8217;s front page headline: &#8220;UFO hits wind turbine.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>The Sun</em> <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/ufos/article2108149.ece">reports</a> that one witness, John Harrison, looked out his window and saw a &#8220;massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground” over the wind farm. &#8220;It was huge,&#8221; said Harrison, &#8220;with the tentacles it looked just like an octopus.&#8221;

<p><strong>Several residents of a remote English village have reported <a title="conisholme tentacle UFO" href="http://www.louthleader.co.uk/news/UPDATE-PLUS-VIDEO-FOOTAGE-Tentacle.4847433.jp" target="_blank">sightings of a bizarre tentacle-shaped UFO above a local wind farm</a>, on the night before a <a title="wind turbine UFO tentacle" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7811945.stm" target="_blank">wind turbine was mysteriously destroyed</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Engineers from energy suppier Ecotricity are investigating why a blade more than 20 meters (66 ft) long fell off the turbine at a wind farm in Conisholme Fen, Lincolnshire, early on Sunday morning. In the meantime, locals are coming to their own conclusions after many of them saw strange flashing tentacle shaped lights above the wind farm on the night before the damage occurred.</p>
<p>John Harrison, a resident of nearby Saltfleetby, said he looked out of his window on Saturday night to see &#8220;a massive ball of light,&#8221; and &#8220;tentacles going right down to the ground&#8221; over the site. &#8220;It was huge&#8221; he said &#8220;At first I thought it must have been a hole where the moon was shining through but then I saw the tentacles – it looked just like an octopus.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<h4><a href="http://gas2.org/files/2008/09/xof1-9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-895" src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/gas2/files/2008/09/xof1-9.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><strong> It&#8217;s not all about Sarah Palin in Alaska you know. The latest news from the last frontier (or should that be the final frontier?) is that <a title="alaska ufo" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94312354" target="_blank">Alaskan police have pulled over a solar-powered car, which they mistakenly identified as a UFO</a>.</strong></h4>
<p>For almost two years, Canadian Marcelo da Luz has been <a title="xof1" href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2006/10/02/wired-nextfest-report-xof1s-aims-to-set-world-distance-solar-r/" target="_blank">driving his solar-powered car, the Power of 1 (Xof1 for short) across North America in an attempt to set a world distance record for a solar vehicle</a>. When he reached Alaska earlier this week, the admittedly off-the-wall looking car was spotted by a concerned citizen, who dialled 911 to report a UFO sighting. Alaskan police quickly took off in hot pursuit, and pulled poor Marcelo over for interrogation.</p>
