I have received several reports this week. Looks like we’re getting more sightings of multiple objects together. www.islingtongazette… UFO sighting over Islington nlnews@archant.co.uk… February 2007 The mysterious lights in the sky over Archway DOZENS of mysterious lights were spotted hovering in the sky above Archway – spreading panic among residents below.Unidentified flying orange objects stopped traffic and left residents staring skyward in disbelief at around 5.30pm on Thursday.Islington police received four calls within a matter of minutes.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.”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.”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.”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.”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.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.”He said he saw between 12 and 15 orange lights travelling across the sky. Then they would stop and then they went upwards. cbs4.com/topstories/… video available) Feb 7, 2007 11:29 am US/Eastern Mysterious Lights Spotted Over Phoenix, Again (CBS4) PHOENIX, AZ Nearly a decade after the highly publicized Phoenix Light Phenomenon, more strange lights have appeared in the night sky over downtown Phoenix.Tuesday night, mysterious lights lit up the western skies over Phoenix and soon after, phones began ringing off the hook at radio, television and police stations from witnesses wondering what the lights were.The Yuma Marine Base claims it has the answer. Base officials said the amber-colored flares came from training flights on the Goldwater Gunnery Range. They went on to explain that the amber flares are used as targets.Witnesses said it appeared the flares were flying in a formation and base officials explained that the flares float down to Earth attached to parachutes.Back in March of 1997, a huge object was spotted over parts of Arizona that many witnesses believed to be an extraterrestrial spacecraft that was drifting slowly and silently over the region. The Phoenix Light Phenomenon became one of the most publicized and well-documented UFO sightings in recent history.The Air Force said they were flares from an A-10 but many critics said flares couldnt fly on their own over such a large distance.The Discovery Channel has done a special on the lights. A movie has even been made about them which recently came out on DVD. lc
