Merton Abbey Mills' Terry Buckland and Peter Wallder celebrate the arrival of the turbine last year

A link between wind turbines and UFOs has sparked speculation that the craft are flocking to Merton.

Recent sightings around a wind turbine in Lincolnshire has led enthusiasts to suggest a link between the energy generators and alien craft - and that the wind turbine at the Merton Abbey Mills shopping centre in Colliers Wood might be attracting extra-terrestrial visitors.

In April last year UFOs were reported above Wimbledon, and further sightings occurred in Wandsworth three months ago.

But a spokesman for Merton Abbey Mills, which installed the turbine in March to power the Colour House Theatre, said that no UFOs had been seen recently.

Peter Wallder said: “I can honestly say we haven’t seen anything at all - but I will keep an eye out.” He promised to let the public know if any alien activity was spotted.

On January 4 a 290ft turbine near Louth in Lincolnshire was badly damaged in what enthusiasts claim was a “UFO related incident”.

Residents reported seeing low flying objects and “tentacles of light” near the wind farm.

The site’s owners and health and safety inspectors said they did not know how the turbine’s blade came to be so severely damaged.
