I can’t get enough of these silly Australians. They are funny, polite, and inteligable creatures. They also love Thailand, which is great. Most of them aren’t fat like the Americans that I see walking… stumbling around Kao-San Road with a 15 dollar prostitute hanging off of their side. Sometimes you get the oddity of an Aussie, though. This seems to be one such case.
A woman called into a Wales police station, saying she had spotted a stationary object in the crowd. Could it be a UFO she might be thinking.
Here’s the ‘999′ (emergency number of Australia) conversation:
Control: “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: “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.”
An officer was sent to investigate. Here is the ending conversation with control and the officer:
Control: “Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?”
Officer: “Yes, it’s the moon. Over.”
Either the lady that called in the “UFO” was messing with the police like Australians do, or she was just the rare idiot of society. Perhaps it was her first night she’d ever glanced outside her window, as the moon couldn’t have been there yesterday, could it have?
