A UFO sighting over the town of Akureyri in Iceland has been captured on camera by an artist filming the landscape.

Cameraman Bjarki Mikkelsen was putting together a time lapse video of the town as it was flooded by light during sunset.

He spotted the flying object beaming in the sky and then descending to the town. The incident was caught on tape on September 29.

It was uploaded last week, and the witness asks for help in solving the puzzle. Over 600,000 people have watched the clip, posted under user name UFODI.

“What on Earth could this be? What produces such light during the day that comes from the skies and lands in a populated area? we would like to hear your opinion!” he asks.
