A man in Wales, UK, saw a bright stationary light on the sky and got scared. He thought this was a UFO. As a concerned citizen, he called the police to notify them of the eminent alien invasion. The police upon arrival discovered that the bright object was the moon!
The police released the official transcript in an effort to stop people calling 999 (emergency number in the UK) for silly things:
Control: “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: “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.”
After the police patrol car arrives, the script reveals the 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.”
