Conisholme UFO Wind Turbine Incident Forensic Report

It has today been confirmed by an interim report from Enercon, whom manufacturer the wind turbine thought to have been damaged by a UFO, that in fact the cause of the incident is somewhat more mundane.

Enercon have stated in their initial report that they have observed ‘classic signs of fatigue failure’ in a ring of around 30 bolts which secure the blades to the main hub. They further confirm that the bolts themselves have not shown any signs of degradation however, the materials around the bolts show signs of failure.

Enercon are continuing to work on the damaged parts and expect to release a full report within the next couple of weeks. Given the rarity of this event and the nature of a wind turbine blade being detached from the main hub causes some concerns for the many thousands of wind farms across the country however, Dale Vince, managing director of the wind farm operator Ecotricity commented that, ‘manufacturers had checked 1,000 turbines of the same design all over the world and it was thought the problem was a “one-off”.

Conisholme Wind Turbine UFO News Outcome Due Shortly

We are led to believe that the now infamous UFO crash site site at Conisholme Wind Turbine site is soon to be concluded.

Following the devastating damage caused to the wind turbine back in January of 09 the remains of the wrecked blade were sent to Germany for forensic tests to determine what if any, alien object, collided with the blade so seriously to inflict the sort of damage seen to the 65ft object.

Speculation has been rife around the internet and general media that the damage sustained by this incident must have been from a significantly sized object to render the turbine unrepairable. Early reports suggested blocks of ice falling from aircraft or indeed merely damage sustained through the impact of the downed blade – it is noted however that the wind speeds at the time of the alledged UFO crash were very low meaning the second blade which become detached from the main hub would have been not been the likely caused of the damage.

Ecotricity are due to receive the forensic report in a matter of days and we expect to hear of the outcome very soon thereafter. Updates to this story will be published as soon as they happen…

6th February UPDATE – Looks like the report is being delayed and will not be avaliable until next week, watch this space….

17th March UPDATE – Dale Vincent of Ecotricity has stated on his blog that “The bolts that failed were found to exhibit ‘classic fatigue’ signs (from the forensic testing).  The bolts were not the root cause though only a symptom.  The root cause has been found, it was a manufacturing/QC defect with regards the blade adaptor, basically the bit that joins the blade to the machine hub.  A key part here was out of tolerance, allowing movement that put the bolts under loads outside their design limits.”

Nick Pope and The UFO’s Past and Present Immediate Danger?

Nick Pope is the English version of our US friends Fox Mulder and Dana Scully straight out of the X-Files. He is most prominently known for having served a regular term between 1991 and 1994 within the British Government’s MoD official first point of contact and investigator of UFO reports and sightings across the UK. This work was conduced within the department then identified as Sec AS2a (known as the Secretariat of the Air Force Staff).

Mr Pope claims he started his job with a “largely sceptical” viewpoint as to the idea of placing valuable resources into investigating the existence of UFOs. He is now however a renowned science fiction author and a regular media commentator on UFO and Alien matters and is one of the few individuals in a position of authority to say there is a problem in our skies which needs to be properly and immediately addressed.

UFO and Alien conspiracy theories characteristically inform each other and often ensnare so closely that it is hard to determine who initially made any particular accusation. In more recent matters, relating to the Conisholme UFO Crash site in which an alleged alien craft crashed into a wind turbine, Mr Pope has suggested this case “could have the potential to finally provide answers to the global UFO and Alien Sighting mysteries”.

During his time in the British MoD he identified numerous cases where UFOs had reportedly been tracked on radar, leading to jets being scrambled, and has even suggested that Pilots of these elite craft have been ordered to shoot down UFO’s over the skies of the UK.

The UK government however has a significantly different policy to that of the general public in these matters and the standard MoD line surrounding any suspected UFO sighting is “Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported”.

Mr Pope has written four books in his career and hundreds of articles relating to UFO and Alien matters. Operation Thunder Child is Pope’s first fictional book sourced upon on evidence he identified whilst working for the British Governments MoD. The now famous ‘Cosford Incident’ facilitated Nick’s belief that something had to be done about the weaknesses of the UK’s air defence program which in his mind is being penetrated by UFOs. Mr Pope is committed to an open and honest debate around UFO issues, and feels that there should be full disclosure of all information on UFOs and other matters relating to the subject, held by governments around the world.

Nick’s unique access to new data and old government files persuaded him that the UFO and Alien Sightings raised significant air defence and security issues. He estimates that around 85% of his cases were explainable, 10% were lacking credible evidence, and 5% were unsolved. And whilst Mr Pope says that there is currently no evidence of a hostile threat, this cannot be ruled out.
