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.
