UFO sightings linked to Colliers Wood wind turbine?


A link between wind turbines and UFOs has sparked speculation that the craft are flocking to Merton.

Recent sightings around a wind turbine in Lincolnshire has led enthusiasts to suggest a link between the energy generators and alien craft - and that the wind turbine at the Merton Abbey Mills shopping centre in Colliers Wood might be attracting extra-terrestrial visitors.

In April last year UFOs were reported above Wimbledon, and further sightings occurred in Wandsworth three months ago.

But a spokesman for Merton Abbey Mills, which installed the turbine in March to power the Colour House Theatre, said that no UFOs had been seen recently.

Peter Wallder said: “I can honestly say we haven’t seen anything at all - but I will keep an eye out.” He promised to let the public know if any alien activity was spotted.

On January 4 a 290ft turbine near Louth in Lincolnshire was badly damaged in what enthusiasts claim was a “UFO related incident”.

Residents reported seeing low flying objects and “tentacles of light” near the wind farm.

The site’s owners and health and safety inspectors said they did not know how the turbine’s blade came to be so severely damaged.

I thought it was a U.F.O but then I realised it was pigs flying, that was around the time it was announced we would see an economic upturn in 2009. A coincidence perhaps!!!!

Until this morning I was skeptical about UFO sightings. I looked out my flat window (in wimbledon)this morning over towards Merton way and to my surprise notice a large bright pink jelly-fish looking object surounded by a pink haze. it appeared to be hovering over or above the pylons in the distance.
It hovered for about 5 minutes while I frantically searched for my camera still not quite understanding what it could possibly be? I finally found my camera and took a couple of pics, unfortunately it had moved further away and was a lot smaller than when i first noticed it. within 15seconds it shot from site. Id love to post the picture but dont see an option here for attachments.
did anyone else in wimbledon see it at approx. 0805hrs thurs 9 jan 2009?
any explanations?
