A British man noticed an unidentified ‘flying’ object in the night sky and said it was flashing a bright white light into his home. He called the police trying to explain his situation. The police dutifully logged it down until… the same guy called back later and apologized, saying it was only the Moon.
I feel very sorry for the people who have to deal with these phone calls but very happy that dumb people like this caller exist for our enjoyment. [Herts Police via The Daily What]

I must say this gave me a good laugh, but c’mon. Seriously? What a waste of time!
Had to be a scotsman slurring his words. Way to boost the stereotype…
At least he rang up and apologized.
Sounds a little bit too unbelievable to me. My best guess is the Alien mothership he witnessed beamed him up and forced him at probe-point to re-dial the emergeny services and tell them it was just the moon.
Now thats a story I could believe.
THAT’S NO MOON!
Well at least he worked out it wasn’t a problem, unlike the “my snowman was stolen” when it was sunny woman…
