People were totally enthralled by the whole scene calling the fleet of sheep "graceful" and beautiful.

"Good morning neighbors," said one person who shared the video. "Tonight we came for a visit."

Some people said the sheep may have just been confused about election day. Spain's general elections will be held on June 26.

Other people simply said, "This is #Huesca."

Huesca local police said after a few minutes they were able to find the shepherd who gathered the herd and redirected them to the area where they escaped earlier.
