A mysterious substance called angel hair has been seen falling from the sky around the world and is often associated with UFO or apparition sightings. We previously took a closer look<\/a> at the folklore and how the strands of disappearing material seemed to evaporate when touched along with some conspiracy theories and explanations for what angel hair could be.<\/p>\n

Although the substance remains a mystery, one case in Evora Portugal in 1959 is notable because it is a rare case when a sample of the ephemeral hair may have been tested and investigated in a lab.<\/p>\n

The information available in the following video is in Portuguese, but we have provided a transcript of the main points in English for your consideration. We approach the subject with an open mind but remain skeptical.<\/p>\n

Is angel hair real? Have you seen it or someone you know? As always, we leave the final determination up to you. Whatever the case it is certainly interesting. See the video at the end of the article.<\/p>\n

\u00c9vora, November 2nd, 1959. About noon.<\/h3>\n

Two strange objects are seen flying over the city.<\/p>\n

According to testimony from many witnesses, after their flyover, a bunch of white filaments were found everywhere, which the people from the city then called \u201cangel hairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Joaquim Guedes Gomeral, a data director of the commercial and industrial school of \u00c9vora, witnessed this strange occurrence and wrote it down. The contents remained hidden for about twenty years.<\/p>\n

According to Gomeral, that day was clear, with not a single cloud in the sky. Someone told him a strange object was flying over the city. He then went outside the school to witness a strange round, blue object and went back inside to get his telescope.<\/p>\n

A second object was seen orbiting the bigger one, emulating several species from the depths of the ocean.<\/p>\n

After a while, both objects gained altitude and disappeared. That\u2019s when witnesses saw the filaments falling from the sky.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the first time or the only place where the filaments were seen falling from the sky. Hours before, hundreds of kilometers away, over a military base, Concei\u00e7ao e Silva, a pilot, was getting ready for a flight training session.<\/p>\n

He said it was a clear, pretty day, but cold. It was, and they were ready to take off when they saw the filaments falling down from the sky.<\/p>\n

Although it only lasted a few minutes at the military base, it lasted almost four hours at \u00c9vora, covering parts of the school and some houses all over the city. In fact, the filament \u2018precipitation\u2019 allowed for people to be able to gather it, even though it was as fine as spider silk.<\/p>\n

Professor Amaral gathered some of these filaments to do a closer examination. Upon observing these filaments under a microscope, he discovered that, in fact, to his amazement, there was a microscopic living creature with ten tentacles wrapped by a clear, gelatinous substance.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Escaria Santos, a Biologist, concluded that the closest thing they resembled were \u2018Coelenterata,\u2019 the species which include sea anemones and other coral animals, but concluded that nothing she knew about biology allowed her to classify it.<\/p>\n
