Potential sightings of UFOs, including a man who said he had been delivered to Bangor Marina by extraterrestrials, were made to the PSNI this year.
Five other reported sightings across Lisburn, Bangor and Belfast were made in 2020, a figure which rose from four reports in 2019.
The first report came on March 13, according to data acquired by the PA news agency using the Freedom of Information Act.
In that call, there was a report of a UFO “with many flashing lights making no noise” hovering in the skies above Dunmurray on the outskirts of Lisburn for around 30 minutes.
Six days later on March 19, officers were told of a “flying object”, appearing to be solar panels in Bangor.
