More on the UFO damaging the Wind Farm Turbines

In a recent report on the UFO damaging those wind farm turbine blades, I read that the weather on the night of the incident was very cold, and actually below zero in the open countryside.

So I was interested in a report this morning from a Canadian newspaper. The article was entitled: “Falling ice a peril at wind farms,” and can be read here:

However, what got my attention was the part describing how the blades can be damaged by an ice build-up, and that such ice can then be thrown off the blade and damage those adjacent to it.

Whilst I agree that this could well have been the cause of the damage to the blades in Lincolnshire, I do take issue with the article stating that this is what happened in the UK. So far this is the only report that I’ve seen about the possible origin of the damage, and I check for new stories every day. I think we’ll have to wait for the report from the manufacturers before we can be sure what really happened.

Meanwhile, I’ll keep looking, and hope to update you when it’s finally published.
