When it comes to latest flying saucer “sightings” reported to Welsh police, it seems ewe couldn’t make it up.
Because an alert about alien SHEEP abduction was among the calls about UFOs received by one force over the past four years.
Newly released data shows that a caller to Dyfed-Powys Police claimed they had seen sheep being taken on board an unidentified flying object from a field in Llanybydder, near Lampeter.
In the same year, 2011, a caller from Aberystwyth reported they were previously abducted by aliens, experimented on, then returned to earth.
Elsewhere in the force’s UFO files, in Llandysul someone reported seeing a triangular-shaped object about 40ft in the air with orange lights and in Welshpool a caller reported seeing a UFO “dropping in the distance”.
In 2012 a caller from Carmarthen claimed they saw “a metallic and circular object in the sky”.
There were two reports of UFOs last year. A Carmarthen caller reported seeing three objects “the size of a small house” 200-300ft in the sky. And there were reports of a UFO moving erratically in Crickhowell also in 2013.
It brings the total number of UFO sightings reported to the force area – which is home to a sightings hotspot once dubbed “the Welsh triangle – to 27 since 2002.
Among the earlier sightings, a UFO was reported in the Aberdyfi Estuary by a caller who claimed his car engine stopped when he saw it. The driver escaped without harm. UFOs were also seen at New Quay, Ffrwdgrech, Brecon, Cardigan and Llanelli.
In 2009 a “large orange sphere in the sky” in Glanamman, Ammanford, was later confirmed to be a Chinese lantern.

"We're not crazy, we're open-minded," says local official
An 80ft UFO "landing pad" has been officially opened in Hawaii.
The Hawaii Star Visitor Sanctuary is only the second in the world officially dedicated for the purpose of inviting extraterrestrials to Earth.
Locals held a cleansing, purifying and dedication ceremony on the site, which was naturally formed by lava near Uncle Robert's Kava Bar in Kalapana, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports.
Garry Hoffeld, assistant to the bar's owner Robert Keliihoomalu, said: “It's potentially controversial – it's potentially funny to some people, potentially stupid to other people.
“We're not crazy, we're open-minded.
“Uncle Robert calls [extraterrestrials] our friends and brothers.”read more
The mysterious UFO sightings in Europe around the 1950s have been explained by (yet another) mysterious Tweet from the Central Intelligence Agency.
The CIA gained 35,000 followers in the first half an hour they joined Twitter last month and now have more than 630,000 followers.
Now the spy agency have helped solved what was a strange series of sightings in Norway over 60 years ago.
At the time Norwegians documented what they believed were alien spacecrafts soaring across the sky.
The government office investigating UFOs in Chile has released an analysis of two high quality photos showing what appear be genuine unidentified flying objects above a remote copper mine. The office, known as the CEFAA (Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena), is located within the Ministerial Department of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), the equivalent of our FAA, under the jurisdiction of the Chilean Air Force. It is responsible for the analysis of selected reports of unexplained aerial phenomena in Chilean airspace, most of them from pilots and aviation personnel.
The photos were taken at the Collahuasi copper mine, more than 14,000 feet above sea level in the Andean plateau in the far north of Chile. An extremely remote location with low oxygen levels and unusually clear skies, the area is desolate and inhospitable. The Collahuasi mine produces copper concentrate, copper cathodes and molybdenum concentrate from three open-pit mineral deposits. (Click here for a map).
Four technicians - professionals specializing in electricity, electronics, and fluid control - were working there in April, 2013. They witnessed a disc-shaped object which approached slowly and was present for more than an hour, moving around in different positions and hovering at about 2000 feet. One technician took pictures with his Kenox Samsung S860 camera. The strange object made no sound, and eventually moved away towards the East.
The witnesses decided not to tell anybody because of the negative associations they had with UFO sightings, and therefore had every intention of always keeping the sighting private. But some months later, the photographer casually showed the pictures to the chief engineer at the mine, who asked for copies. The engineer sent the images to the CEFAA in February, and provided the agency with information reported to him by the witnesses. He too has requested anonymity.
Chile's meteorological office at the DGAC confirmed that there was an absolute clear sky at that time, and that there was no possibility of lenticular clouds. All other meteorological phenomena have been ruled out by Chilean officials as a possible explanation.
CEFAA officials told me they determined that there were no drones operating near the mine. "People in that zone know about drones," said Jose Lay, international affairs director for the CEFAA. "Fishing companies use drones and they make a lot of noise. This was definitely not a drone." DGAC officials also ruled out any experimental aircraft, planes, weather balloons, or anything else that could explain the incident.
With all conventional explanations eliminated, the CEFAA staff determined that the photos were worthy of analysis. The results of this study, conducted by a leading CEFAA analyst at the DGAC Meteorological Office, was released on July 3rd and is posted on the CEFAA website.
The report states that the witnesses described the phenomenon as "a flattened disc, of brilliant color, with a diameter of 5 to 10 meters [16 to 32 feet]. It performed ascending, descending and horizontal movements in short lengths, about 600 meters above the ground." The witnesses had the impression that the object was under intelligent control.read more
In the 1950s Norwegians were left stunned by a series of seemingly inexplicable UFO sightings.
Throughout the decade numerous lights in the sky were reported by members of the public and pilots alike, with some suggesting they were of extraterrestrial origin.
But now the mystery has apparently been solved, as the CIA has revealed it wasn’t ET at all - rather, it was the agency flying their secretive U-2 aircraft high in the atmosphere.
In a tweet earlier this week the CIA claimed responsibility for numerous UFO sightings over Norway in the 1950s. At the time the agency carried out a study of over 1,200 UFO sightings and found over half of them could be attributed to their secretive U-2 aircraft, which began flying in secret from 1955 at over 60,000 feet
In a tweet the CIA said: ‘Remember reports of unusual activity in the skies in the ‘50s? That was us.’
The revelation originally came about through something known as Operation Blue Book in 1969.
THE LOCKHEED U-2
Nicknamed ‘Dragon Lady’, the Lockheed U-2 is an ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).
The first flight of one of the single-engine planes was on 1 August 1955, with regular flights beginning in 1957.
It has an operational ceiling of 70,000 feet (21,000 metres), making it well-suited for spying missions.
It was used extensively throughout the Cold War, flying over the Soviet Union, Cuba and other countries.
They did not go completely undetected, however. One infamous incident occurred on 1 May 1960 when pilot Gary Powers was shot down during a reconnassiance flight over the Soviet Union.
The event marked a deterioration in relations between the two superpowers.
Powers was held prisoner until 10 February 1962, when he was released as part of a prisoners exchange with Soviet officer Rudolf Abel.
This was a systematic study of various UFO reports that sought to discover if the sightings were a threat to national security.
