I Smell a Rat in the Conisholme Affair -
But you Decide - The Final Word?

            A sober report in the Louth Leader's website, "louthleader.co.uk" published 
            a quote from the so-called "tentacle man", ufo reportee John Harrison.
            Looking out from his landing window, he saw:

"a 'massive ball of light' with 'tentacles going right down to the ground' over Conisholme wind farm."

"It was huge. At first I thought it must have been a hole where the moon was shining through but then I saw the tentacles – it looked just like an octopus. It was an incredible sight; I have never seen anything like it before. I have no idea what it was, all I can say is what I saw".

Dorothy Willows - who lives just half a mile away from the scene was travelling in her car when

"strange lights" loomed in the evening sky.

"The lights were moving across the sky towards the wind farm," she said. "Then I saw a low flying object. It was skimming across the sky towards the turbines."

Robert Palmer, Chairman of East Lindsey District Council, said he

saw a strange light in the sky the night before the turbine blade fell off:

"There was definitely something there," he said

Lesley Whittingham, 71, even managed to photograph it — and said:
“It looked like a giant explosion in the air.”

then there is this from the Louth leader.

Thursday 11am - A UFO witness from Brinkhill, Louth says he is worried about being abducted by aliens after repeatedly seeing triangle-shaped aircraft near his home.

Eric Goring, 61, came into the Leader office this week to recount his bizarre experiences after reading our articles on the Louth 'orange lights' UFOs published last month.

and these are but a few witnesses around Conisholme.

But, the Financial Times has it all sussed out and ready for sweeping under that big, bulging carpet, as they can exclusively reveal the likely cause of all those lights seen in the area... a firework display...(doh!... now how did we know they were going to say that?)

Peter Bell, a retired farmer who lives close to the wind farm site, celebrated his 80th birthday on Saturday night with a party that culminated with fireworks being let off in the back garden. (oh, that's alright then...case solved.. lol)

I'm sorry, but it strikes me as quite strange that people can’t tell the difference between fireworks and something extremely unusual in the sky.

Let us weigh-up the evidence as it stands thus far.

1. We have a very good photograph of a triangular/doughnut-shaped ufo taken by a reliable witness,  just weeks beforehand, near to the wind farm, together with another, plus an eyewitness' drawing of a flying triangle.  
2. There is the RAF witnesss' report (from a man of 12 years military training), who also spoke of observing something most extraordinary in the skies around those parts, weeks aftwards. "I have never seen anything like this before in my life. I am used to seeing aircraft, (both military and civil), above Lincolnshire and can assure you that this was not aircraft." he said.
3. The various eyewitness testimonies to strange lights in the sky before and during the time of the crash. (as above). 
4. The vast array of often 'silly' excuses that Ecotricity, (which operates the site),  have put out to explain the extensive damage to the turbine blades...everything from metal fatigue to a block of frozen urine falling from a plane's toilet.
5. How "security operatives backed by snarling dogs" sealed-off the Conisholme wind farm from public scrutiny during an official investigation...complete with military involvement... and the fact that "foreign debris" was removed from the scene for examination.
6. Also, how BEAMS had at least 17 ufo reports sent in to us on the run-up to this event, (and remember, we are just one cog in a mighty big ufo reporting machine), so how many other reports relating to the Conisholme happening were submitted to the Police, MoD, newspapers and various other agencies up and down the country?
