Does anyone know more about the U.F.O. that crashed into a windmill tower in central east England?
Apparently people saw lights in the sky then a big boom and one of the three blades was gone and the windmill was wrecked. Officials can not find any trace of the missing blade!!

I do not know what caused the boom, but I do not think that aliens accidentally crashed into the windmill and then decided to steal the blade.
They found the blade, it was lying right at the base of the windmill.

That's not what happened.
"Obviously, aliens hate the fact that we’re going green: an energy-producing wind turbine in the UK was destroyed last Sunday. Mysterious lights were seen in the sky around the same time. Ergo, aliens want us to burn coal.
Hey, my conclusion is no dumber than assuming flying saucers were around in the first place. But that didn’t stop people from assuming UFOs were behind the turbine’s destruction.
What’s funny is that we have a whole pile of rational explanations for this event. The lights have been identified as fireworks. While they probably didn’t destroy the turbine, it’s not completely out of the question. More likely, though it was a coincidence: the weather conditions were very cold, with icing a problem. Ice on one blade could have been flung into another, causing the destruction. Or ice could have built up in a crack or seam on the blade, bending it, throwing it off balance. At the size and speed of those blades, a small deviation can cause catastrophic damage." -- http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/01/08/aliens-hate-green-energy/
