Holmen is a small village in Målselv Municipality in Troms county, Norway.

It is located on the east side of the village of Skjold along the Målselva river.

[1] On 3 November 1996, Holmen was the site of a well documented UFO sighting.

It was reported that an extremely bright object moved over the hamlet at considerable speed in a zig-zag pattern, making a strange buzzing noise.

This caused anger in the township, and a subsequent boycott of the channel in protest.
