A suspected UFO in Essex was actually a laser pointed at the sky from a nightclub celebrating its opening night.
The lights that made circles in the sky came from Fraziers nightclub in Wickford.
Residents say they were convinced the lights were from a UFO. Police received several worried calls.
Club boss Alistair Burrell told the Evening Echo: "I am sorry to disappoint everybody but it really was nothing more than that.
"I think too many people have been watching Independence Day on the TV but I suppose the lights could look a bit like a UFO."
Resident Ellen Howard said: "I was standing outside watching them and I thought it must be a UFO. It was a bit frightening, I can tell you. But I knew I wasn't imagining it because I am of sound mind."
