Well, how do you explain it?
Some strange lights observed at the time of the incident have been explained. But the physical damage remains an X-file.

Wind turbines that had a close encounter with alien octopus!
As someone who worked on windfarms for a few years back in the 1980s, this type of damage isn't that unusual. We've lost a few blades due to overspeed or simple metal fatigue due to the millions of flex cycles on the blade root. Those thrown blades can go a long way, spinning and creating lift as they fly.
Machines are a lot more reliable now. Attributing failure to "UFOs" is just plain silly.
I am sure that was an alien
they're so afraid of our great wind power and they have right...:)
In my country there is no turbines so we're save
