By ninemsn staff

A British man called emergency services in panic to report a UFO hovering in the sky, only to ring back minutes later after realising it was only the moon.

Police in Hertfordshire, south of London, were stunned after the man called earlier this month saying: "There's something flying over our house, it's coming towards me now, with lights blazing.

"I don't know what the hell it is, it's not an airplane, but it's hovering."
But not long after describing the mystery craft to police and hanging up, the man sheepishly rang back.

"I made a mistake," the caller admitted.

"I thought I saw something that was really strange and it wasn't actually … You won't believe this, it's the moon."
Herefordshire police have released the bizarre phone call to remind people not block emergency service phone lines during the busy Halloween weekend.

That's what happens when you drink to much scotch

Certainly not the first person to make that mistake and he won't be the last. I remember reading through the UK UFO files when they were declassified a few years ago and most of them can easily be explained as either planes or stars/planets.

Hey Bo, the in laws visiting wouldn't be an alien abduction, but rather an alien invasion.....so call the army instead

With all their hardware they may, just, be able to handle the in laws invasion

Yes, we've got a reputation for cloudiness but it isn't *that* bad over here that some cretin can't identify the Moon...

Btw, Hertfordshire's north of London.
