Locals claim to have witnessed multiple UFOs over north London
[edit]Thanks for your interest in Wikinews and the article Locals claim to have witnessed multiple UFOs over north London. That it has been explained is very interesting. However, we cannot update the article itself to reflect that. Similar to changing an old newspaper. What could have been done (the story you link to is very old, too, so it can't be done now), was to have had a story about the explanation when it came out.
