Early warning for UFOs?
A SCUNTHORPE company is selling a device which could prevent UFOs colliding with wind turbines.
But the product – which itself looks like a flying saucer – will only work if the UFO itself has been equipped with a radar!
-
BALL BOY: , a revolutionary device, which can be used to safely pinpoint structures such as wind turbines to aircraft and perhaps UFOs!

FLASHBACK: The Telegraph reports on the UFO sighting by Lesley Whittingham.

SIGHTING: HITEK MD John Terry says he has spotted a UFO himself.
John Terry is managing director of HITEK Electronic Materials, told the Scunthorpe Telegraph he was offering the product called a Luneberg lens, after speculation about the cause of damage to a wind turbine at Conisholme in Lincolnshire earlier this month.
At the time Lesley Whittingham (71), from Jerusalem Cottages, Alkborourgh, described seeing bright orange and yellow tints in the air at around 1.30pm on Saturday.
Mr Terry said: "The company can supply these magic balls that would have made the UFO see the tower."
He said the lens was developed so you could see something very precisely and added: "It's something we have available for wind turbines."

“Chamber's dictionary: naff adj (naffer, naffest) slang 1 stupid; foolish. 2 tasteless; vulgar. 3 rubbishy; of poor quality; worthless. noun an incompetent.
Oxford English Dictionary: Brit Informal verb 1 (naff off) go away. 2 naffing used to emphasize annoyance.
Therefore Peter, naff off you pleb.”

"naff spelling and crude, pointless comments".
Should be:
'naff spelling, crude and pointless comments'.”

“This sounds very much like a radar responder. They've been fitted to small sailing, motor cruises on the open sea for many years.
Small boats are often made of fibre-glass so there's not much metal for radar singals to bounce off. All craft should carry nav lights, but on a small boat they're fairly small and they can be difficult to see in a swell when a boat is bobbing about.
The responder increases a small boat's radar image on the screen of larger vessels so they're warned of a small boats presents - particularly useful at night, or in fog.
Perhaps they should be defined as devices for tracking USB's (Unidentified Sailing Boats)”
