Bizarre footage of a UFO falling from the heavens has been posted on the internet.

In a 43 second clip uploaded to YouTube, a strange fiery object can be seen slowly descending from the sky.

The unidentified mass, which looks like some sort of fireball, falls towards a settlement, identified as Akureyri in Iceland.

As a handful of cars drive along the road in the foreground the object continues its inexorable descent.

It ultimately disappears from view behind some houses, leaving the person behind the camera alone to ponder what they have just seen.
