- The mysterious three lights were inadvertently captured on film by two friends
- The bizarre image appeared on their camera after it went missing overnight
- So far there has been no explanation as to what the three lights might be
A pair of friends testing a new camera in woods in Finland were surprised to discover they had inadvertently photographed three mysterious lights.
It is not clear whether they have captured a mysterious animal in their lens or if their bizarre photograph is some kind of unusual reflection.
The duo were testing new high-tech camera equipment and left their device overnight pointing in the direction of woodland in the hope of capturing images of wild animals.
For two nights they were unsuccessful, so on the third evening they moved the camera to a new area. When they came back the following morning, it had disappeared, The Daily Star reported.
So far there has been no explanation as to what the mysterious three lights might be – with one suggestion that they could belong to a wild animal
The image was captured in dense woodland that is known to be inhabited by a variety of wild animals
One of the images (top left) was nothing but a blur of colour, but the second (bottom right) dramatically revealed the unusual three lights
Finland is a country criss-crossed by thick forestry which is home to numerous wild animals
The camera was eventually found in a nearby back garden and among the images it had captured were the mysterious three lights.
One photo is out of focus but in the second black and white image what could easily be mistaken for three eyes appear to gazing directly at the camera.
So far there has been no explanation as to what the lights could be.
The most likely explanation is that it is a trick of the light or just more than one animal.
