This is Scunthorpe

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!

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.”
