A transcript of the report went as follows:
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."
After the police patrol car arrives, the script reveals the exchange between the control room and the police officer sent to the scene.
Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"
Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

LOL! And the true believers wonder why skeptics are so insistent on hard evidence.
exactly! Though to be true, it made for a good opener for this week's program. but as you say, its no wonder why they people arent taken seriously.
I just had a hard time taking it serious! lol I mean, really, it screams prank call! Venus, well I mean if you live in a cave I guess, you could confuse it for one of them fliyen sawsirs but the moon! OMG!
Oh, I believe it. I've met people who were almost this dumb and they couldn't have been the dumbest people alive...so, yeah.
By the way, I intend to send you a piece of fiction in the next couple months. I'm in a snag at the moment, but once I get out of it, I'll send something to you :).
LOL then this is indeed a sad sad commentary on the human race.
Great! I am looking forward to reading it!
