Video: UK Windmill Obvious Victim Of UFO Vandalism

Must be a slow week for somebody, because even the New York Times picked up this idiotic gem: the folks of Lincolnshire, England, awoke one morning to discover that one of their many bucolic wind turbines had been ravaged by what can only be outer space aliens with a grudge.

A grudge... for that particular windmill.

At the same time as the destruction occurred, locals reported "glowing spheres" in the sky. Paired with the fact that the missing turbine blade has yet to be found, all signs point to extraterrestrial hooligans or an invading force of windmill-themed space pirates.

There are a few crackpots who posit that a cow-sized ice chunk or a robot stealth bomber could be responsible, but these lunatics have fortunately been silenced.

Ice? Terrestrial machinery? Where do people come up with these impossible ideas?
