But then again, the Welsh are notoriously fond of their UFOs.

That is the standard acronym for Unusually Friendly Ovine, isn’t it?

UFOs have been frightening the Welsh for many years. Seen one myself and never got over it! No, not joking, but UFOs do like the countryside a lot.

Any fule kno….

The ground speed of moon’s shadow at equator is 3418 - 1675 = 1743 km/hr. The ground speed of moon’s shadow at poles is 3418 km/hr. We can assume that the spped of the moon’s shadow in Wales would be somewhere between the two i.e pretty nippy.

If we assume the caller had been observing the object for 3omins before calling and assume, to be generous, that the phone in the police station only rang for 30 minutes before the Desk Sergeant finished his pizza and answered it. If we further assume that the occupants of Alpha Zulu 20 finished watching suspects falling down the steps of the station and set off within 30 minutes of getting the call, then using the formula

Moon moves really fast + Wait a long time before checking = Moon has moved dead lots

Then the moon would be nowhere near where it was first reported

Not only do they provide human translators for we effete southerners, but they give you proper booze as well.

“Murdo whit are ye trying sey for gawd’s sake in the name of the Wee Man. Over?”

“Control. The Rover’s Ove….. ahh!!! fuckit ye blethering idejits. A’ve couped the jeep.”
