Robbie Williams has moved to an area famed for alien sightings.

The former Take That singer - who is reportedly obsessed with extra-terrestrials - has just bought a £7million English country estate that is crossed with 'ley lines' - invisible energy routes believed to attract aliens.

Locals reported 45 UFO sightings last year, and the area will host a huge sky-search for them this summer.

Thousands came - professors, scientists and ordinary people

Robbie, 34, claims to have seen three UFO sightings over the years and even admitted to believing in ghosts.

He said: "People will think I'm mental - which I am."

The mansion, which is set in 71 acres of land in Wiltshire, is also at the centre of an area prone to crop circles.

Thousands of people flocked to the town last summer to study the large number of circles which appear in fields of wheat and barley.

Tara Adams, who owns a pub in the town, said: "I was amazed. "Thousands came - professors, scientists and ordinary people. Hopefully Robbie will join them this year."The 'Angels' singer - who has moved to Compton Bassett, Wiltshire, from Los Angeles - has also been invited to attend the Swindon-based UFO group SUFOR, which are planning a conference in the summer.Oragniser Chris Williams said: "Wiltshire has a really rich history of fortean things - unexplained phenomena."We have a lot more UFO sightings than most and we've got the famous stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury and the ancient mystical sites like Silbury Hill. I'm sure Robbie would find our meetings fascinating."
