Church Tower Damaged.
Air traffic control at RNAS Yeovilton has confirmed a 'large moving object' hit Langport Church Tower at around 3am on Christmas morning. Several people on The Hill reported hearing the bells clanging and then a huge explosion.
One local woman, who says she was 'working' in Priest Lane at the time, claims she heard a man's voice shouting "Higher you bloody stupid animals! Higher!" just before the incident.
As people rushed out to see what had happened, they found thousands of pieces of debris in their gardens...and the celebrations began:
"I found 9 X-Boxes, 32 hoverboards and a crate of Apple i-pads in my vegetable patch" said a woman in Bush Place. Even Mr and Mrs Webb at the top of The Hill were all smiles,
"We got 15 bottles of Port and a brand new Dyson, " said Mrs Webb, "For once we'll be able to do the carpets at the properties we rent out on Bow Street."
But not everyone was happy. The only thing this little girl could find was Michael Buble's Christmas album on her parents' compost heap.
Avon and Somerset Police say whoever crashed into the church tower could have been drinking.
"We found sleigh runner marks in the mud at Eli's carpark" said DCI Doug Jones.
Police also think this animal may have something to do with what happened, it was spotted hitch-hiking up Muchelney Straight at around 9am on Christmas Day.
