E.T. PHONED home almost 30 years ago, but Welsh households are still phoning the police with details of more UFO sightings in Wales.
South Wales Police have released details of reported UFO sightings it has received from homeowners.
A total of 16 reports of UFOs were made to the police force between the February 2007 and January of this year.
One caller reported seeing a large UFO emitting beams light into the Aberfan night sky, with several smaller crafts circling it. Another person saw four unidentified flying objects soar past two aeroplanes flying above to the Ford engine plant in Bridgend.
And one witness at Maerdy mountain saw a large, grey orb shoot past the moon.
Almost 38% of the sightings over the past three years were made in Merthyr and Rhondda Cynon Taf. Most of the reports were made in 2009 making up six of the 16 sightings.
The details come after the Wales on Sunday revealed two weeks ago the extent of UFO reports in North and West Wales over the past decade.
A total of 33 reports of strange crafts in the sky were made to North Wales and Dyfed-Powys Police services since 2002. A third of these were in 2009.
Only five of these reports were explained as human activity, such as army training exercises or night lanterns.
But sceptics said people should think twice before claiming they have seen a real-life E.T.
Martin Griffiths, a senior astronomy lecturer at the University of Glamorgan, 49, said: “If people think they see a UFO, be a bit more critical about it. It’s probably not somebody visiting from the planet Zog.
“Don’t think automatically that something in the sky is an alien craft. It is probably something else.”
