This is a cool initiative. I just hope they do it with the best intentions and are honest about it. I would hate to see them misguide experiencers into thinking our space brothers are coming here to kick our butt. The immense propaganda based on misleading and entirely false deductions and investigation, is enough to scare the heck out of these experiencers. I would be intimidated myself if it wasn’t for the clear view I have about abduction, cow mutilation, etc… So I guess, this hotline could be a bad thing or a good thing, depending on how well represented our space brothers are.

A UFO hotline has been launched to report sightings over Islington – and the group behind it is offering counselling to spooked residents.

The Islington Ufology and Supernatural Studies group has created the service to allow them to react quickly to sightings, such as the lights spotted over Archway last year. It claims that Islington is a “hotspot” for paranormal activity – and says seeing a UFO can be deeply troubling, requiring a couch and a sympathetic ear.

Paul Southcott, 49, of New North Road, Islington, behind the hotline, said: “There are a lot of people out there who have experienced something and they don’t know who to turn to because they just feel silly.

“We will listen and talk them through it to give them some idea about what they are going through. People will ring up when they get the bottle and feel ready to tell us what happened and get it off their chest. If someone did ring up and say there is a light overhead our investigators would go there straight away.”

Mr Southcott, who is not working due to poor health, added: “North London is a hotspot for this kind of thing.”

But writer and UFO sceptic Ian Ridpath said: “I can’t really imagine anyone who saw the Archway UFOs was gravely shaken by the experience, so perhaps it is a touch overdramatic. But maybe I am just an old cynic. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. And if anything is reported I hope they will look at all possible explanations – including things like party balloons…”

To report a flying saucer or seek counselling following a “close encounter” call the hotline on 07500 346 688.
