Police called out to a 999 call about an unexplained object in the night sky solved the mystery straight away for their operator - "it's the Moon, over."

But the emergency call meant the officers were sent out to a house in the valleys area of south Wales.

They were told a "bright stationary object" was spotted above the unnamed caller's home.

The Welsh are always coming up with exaggerated stories of things they've seen, which turns out not to be true, like the one about that they have the best looking sheep in the UK.
Say no more.
