Wind farms causing clutter on radars

Heard a rumour that 2 aircraft disappeared from screens at Prestwick - don't know if it was the airport or ACC - supposedly due to clutter caused by local wind turbines.

Can anyone confirm or comment?

Reason I ask, is because they want to put 125 of them on the hills about 15 miles from the end of runway 23 at EGPF.

Local residents are concerned about danger to air traffic flying overhead, amongst other things.
