Clever police have solved a man’s bright object in the sky mystery.
They discovered it was the moon.
South Wales Police were dispatched to a 999 emergency reporting a “bright stationary object” above a caller’s house.
Officer today released the recording of the astonishing emergency call.
But police have not revealed the identity of the dim-witted caller except to say he was from the South Wales Valleys.
The recording runs as follows:
Control Room: “South Wales Police, what’s your emergency?“
Caller: “It’s not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there’s a bright stationary object.“Control room: “Right.“
Caller: “If you’ve got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It’s been there at least half an hour and it’s still there.“
Control: “It’s been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?“Caller: “It’s in the air.“
Control: “I will send someone up there now to check it out.“
Caller: “OK.“
A few minutes later, all became clear in the following exchange between the control room and the police officer sent to the scene.
Control: “Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?“
Officer: “Yes, it’s the moon. Over.“
A South Wales Police spokeswoman said: “It was 100% legitimate. There was no hoax. It was a serious call from a member of the public.“
The mystifying sighting, reported in May, must rate as the oddest emergency call in the history of the south Wales force.
It was highlighted today as part of a continuing public campaign to cut down on the number of inappropriate emergency calls.

I suspect that drink may have been involved.
