What about it possibly being the "star" that led the wise men there?
Isn't that often depicted/included in nativity scenes?
Nimrod's wife -- Semiramis, decided to continue the pagan religion by saying her dead husband had ascended to the sky and become the sun. When Semiramis had her child, she claimed Nimrod had impregnated her as the rays of the sun had fallen upon her womb. This "sun god child" was named Tammuz.

It's depicting baby Jesus with a halo around his head, traditional -- not a space helmet. The object at the top is rather clearly the "Star of Bethlehem."

That's not a UFO, that's a light in the sky, possibly from heaven. We really don't know the artists intentions, though an educated guess would point towards the later. You want to see a UFO, so you do. Saucer shaped UFOs only became common in UFO sightings after such crafts have become popular in fiction. A painting from 1710 depicting a light from heaven in the shape of a circle does not equate to a ufo, it just equates into religious imagery. A circle of life (sometimes with a dove and sometimes not) shining light is often a symbol of the Holy Spirit. It's seen in pretty much every Baptism scene. It's standard religious imagery. You only see a UFO because you want to see a UFO. You are interjecting your religion into another religion.
