Description: 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. Islington police informed Contact International UFO Research about the sightings. Soon after another witness contacted the Oxford-based organization, 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 traveling across the sky. Then they would stop and then they went upwards. Source/Photograph © Alix McAlister.
