Like a plot from ’90s supernatural thriller the X-Files, Islington has been the scene of a series of mysterious UFO sightings in the last year.

     From silvery orbs in King’s Cross, to mysterious craft in Canonbury, the borough has seen a glut of reports of unidentified flying objects during the last 12 months.

The Newington Green area was by far the busiest, with four suspected extra-terrestrial visitors spotted.

A witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I saw a round luminous object over the green. It was pretty big and flying quite low and slowly and went away into the clouds.”

Another witness walking through Canonbury noticed a strange object with bright lights. They said: “It moved like a hovercraft suddenly changing direction very quickly. I was in the air cadets for four years and was taught aircraft recognition, but this was like nothing I had seen before.” . . .

Volume of World-Wide UFO Sightings Indicates a Flap!

Islington Gazette UFO video adds to the UFO “flap”

     Since the Chicago O’Hare airport UFO sighting was publicised many other reports of mysterious lights in the sky have been reported worldwide, which suggests that we are experiencing what is known to ufologists as a “flap,” and that it is continuing. The Islington Gazette has been a focus of interest in UFOs due to a reader’s video being shown on its website, which has prompted a 400 % increase in traffic for the site.

The video shows footage of mysterious unidentified objects that were seen over Archway, Islington, London, and readers reported seeing as many as 50 orange lights in the area.

Internet users worldwide who have seen the video have left their comments by email and the Islington Gazette editor Tony Allcock said: "We were surprised and delighted that the story and video created so much comment from so far afield."

Police and UFO investigation organisation Contact International were alerted at the time of the sightings.

Whilst many witnesses and viewers of the video believe that what is shown is definitely evidence of extraterrestrial craft others have put forward down-to-Earth explanations such as Chinese lanterns, and birds like swans and geese.

In Phoenix, Arizona, USA many people reported seeing strange lights in the sky there but these were explained away as flares used by the military.

At Arkansas another recent sighting, was also said to have been military flares even though Col. Brian Fields, a retired Air Force colonel with 32 years of service made the report, and he was convinced what he had seen was definitely not of this world.

ARCHWAY UFO VIDEO: YOU DECIDE

Islington Gazette
2-9-07

     WE HAVE extraordinary video footage giving first-hand evidence of the Archway UFO phenomenon which brought the area to a standstill.

Here's YOUR chance to decide whether aliens were actually hovering over Archway - or whether there was a more innocent explanation.

Amateur camerman John Zimmerman, of Bredgar Road, Archway, filmed the spectacle from a vantage point in Holloway Road.

The "squadron" of around 15 orange lights spread panic among passers-by who witnessed it at around 5.30pm on January 31.

People screamed - some fearing it was a terrorist attack. Police received 999 calls within minutes.

The lights moved in a southerly direction then hovered above Archway before disappearing and appearing again. The eerie display lasted about 10 minutes.

Mr Zimmerman, 50, said: "I was watching from Holloway Road. I realised I had my camera and started filming. They moved steadily and slowly, all at the same speed."

Experts from the Royal Astronomical Society and Met Office weather centre were at a loss to explain the lights.

UFO sceptics insist it was no more than a group of "sky lanterns" or "UFO balloons" - one-off miniature hot air balloons.

But all the eyewitnesses who contacted us are adamant the lights were NOT lanterns - because of the way that they moved.

Designer James Zafar, from Palace Road, Crouch End, who witnessed the scene from Bredgar Road, said: "It is something I can't explain but I'm sure it wasn't lanterns."
