Helena Worth, a self-described “amateur scientist”, became obsessed with aliens after she claimed to have spotted one flying over her home several years ago.

The 41-year-old who works for Ceredigion County Council has now claimed that extra-terrestrial life is responsible for recent mutilations of sheep close to her home.

The cause of the sheep deaths in the Cambrian mountains, which often sees multiple carcasses spread miles apart, has previously been attributed to big cats.

But Helena claims that UFOs are a more likely explanation.

She said: “With cattle and sheep mutilations it’s always very precise cut marks or something an animal couldn’t do.
