Mystified locals have set up their own 'x-file' after claiming a UFO could be to blame for damage to a wind turbine.
Alien concept: Did extraterrestrials cause the damage to the Conisholme turbine?
A blade was torn off of the turbine amid reports of "strange lights" in the sky around Conisholme in Lincolnshire.
An investigation has been launched, with The Sun quoting residents speculating the damage could have been caused by a UFO.
A local councillor has added his voice to the sighting of a mysterious light in the night sky.
"There was definitely something there," Coun Robert Palmer, Chairman of East Lindsey District Council, told a local newspaper:
The locals are certain the truth is out there and even the company that owns the turbine admitted it had never seen anything like it before.
An Ecotricity spokeswoman said: "We're conducting a thorough investigation into what happened.
"This kind of thing has never happened to us before."
The missing blade was discovered on the ground beneath the 89m high turbine. Another blade was reported to be badly dented.
But the spokeswoman was reluctant to speculate on the cause of the damage.
"An engineer has been on the site since it happened, early on Sunday morning, and is carrying out a sort of forensic investigation."
