That’s exactly what one United Kingdom lady heard – but in her case, it was indeed a call from space: astronaut Tim Peake dialled a wrong number.

Describing the missed call from space, Nigel Peake, from Westbourne, near Chichester, told ITV News: “It was quite surreal”.
Peake, 43, is the first Briton aboard the space station, and the first fully British professional astronaut employed by a space agency.
Peake is among a crew of six men now based at the space station. Scientists believe this understanding could be of great help during future Mars missions.
Tim Peake divulged this on microblogging site Twitter. Last week, the British astronaut called home.
Peake was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009.
Major Tim Tweeted his apology to the woman he called from space, yesterday.
It could be seen as a bright light crossing the sky after sunset on Christmas Day, soaring 250 miles over the French-Spanish border.
From southern England, it was due appear in the West at about 3.24am (AEDT) and remain visible for six minutes before disappearing below the southeastern horizon.
