‘Half an inch large creature in light blue colour that was flying above flowers. We were one or two feet away; we could not see a face or head details due to fluttering of its wings. It had a look as if there were two sets of wings. It looked like two v-shaped wings; at the top a normal v-shape and at the bottom an upside-down v-shape. The wings were transparent, white of colour. It was definitely no insect for I know a great deal of insects. My husband and I both saw the creature. When I saw it I said aloud ‘what the heck is this?’ At that moment the creature flew away from us higher and higher in a nearby tree. My husband is a very sceptical man but even he was flabbergasted and cannot explain what we saw on the 21st of July 2016 between 1300 and 1400 hours on our holiday in Iceland in the city of Akureyri in the botanicus garden.’ ‘Half an inch, light blue with two v shaped wings. One v shaped at the top and one upside-down v shaped at the bottom. The two sets of wings were connected to each other.’ ‘It looked like a flying fairy. It looked a bit like Tinker Bell but not as detailed as she is in the movie. It did not look like any alien or ghost or any other thing and certainly not a flying insect. We heard just before we went to Iceland that more than 50% of the Icelandic people believe in fairies or hidden people. We laughed at that moment, but not anymore!’ ‘I would like to know if our fairy sighting has similarities to other fairy sightings in Iceland.’
