The mysterious lights in the sky over Archway <\/em><\/p>\n

DOZENS of mysterious lights were spotted hovering in the sky above Archway – spreading panic among residents below.<\/p>\n

Unidentified flying orange objects stopped traffic and left residents staring skyward in disbelief at around 5.30pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Islington police received four calls within a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Witness Alix McAlister, 34, a market stall trader from Bredgar Road, Archway, said: “I just picked up my son from nursery in Bredgar Road. I had just come out of the door when I noticed what was going on in the sky.<\/p>\n

“There were a group of them – 10 to 15 of them moving together. My first impression was that they reminded me of a squadron of aeroplanes in formation. But they didn’t have a proper formation and they were all moving at the same speed.<\/p>\n

“I thought for a while that something was happening in the centre of London. Bombs and planes crossed my mind. But I realised very quickly that they didn’t look like any aircraft I’d seen before.<\/p>\n

“They were coming from the north and moving south. And then they kind of stopped and they were hovering. There was no sound. They seemed to fade away and I saw more coming and then they stopped. It lasted about 10 minutes.”<\/p>\n

Islington police informed Contact International UFO Research about the sightings. Soon after another witness contacted the Oxford-based organisation, which is devoted to solving the mystery of UFOs, and described what he saw.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Contact International said: “He told me he was picking his daughter up from school and he saw many people looking up in the air. Traffic had stopped and people were staring.<\/p>\n

“He said he saw between 12 and 15 orange lights travelling across the sky. Then they would stop and then they went upwards.<\/p>\n
