"Angel hair" is a conventionally called some unusual cobweb-like gelatinous substance with veins inside, it falls to the ground after a UFO appears in this area.
In Italy it is called "Virgin Mary's hair" or "silicon wool", and in France - "Madonna's gift". Germans and Americans use the common term angel hair. In general, more often this unusual gelatinous creature falls on the heads of the French, Italians, Americans, and residents of New Zealand and … the territory of the post-Soviet space.
It is believed that this phenomenon was typical of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, when it was first noticed. It should be noted: at that time, this substance was almost the only evidence of the existence of unidentified flying objects.
First, let us turn to the book, which has already become a classic in this matter - the work of F. Siegel "UFO Observations in the Soviet Union." The author points out that "angel hair" is the finest filaments of unknown origin, silvery, very thin and light, and sometimes luminous - as a rule, they cover the ground in a fairly dense layer in the area of the UFO appearance. True, a couple of hours after the disappearance of the UFO, the unusual substance also disappears without a trace.
If you touch the "angel hair" with your hand, then they immediately change their appearance, turning into lumps of mucus with a rather unpleasant odor, moreover, they are weakly radioactive. And hands will itch disgustingly for a long time, and difficult to remove spots will remain on the skin. At one time, Academician I. Petryanov-Sokolov, who carefully examined the hair of an angel, said: this is a very fine-fibrous substance and, most likely, it is not a natural compound …
Although it is believed that the hair of an angel is a kind of "visiting card" of the 1950s-60s, these threads fell to the ground earlier (albeit much less often). For example, on October 1, 679, a part of the Japanese city of Osaka was covered with strange fluffy fibers.
A similar rain of cosmic magic fluff was also raining in Japan on September 27, 1477 (Before that, a luminous object swept across the sky.) On September 21, 1741, a "snowfall" of threads that most resembled tangled sheep's wool fell on Selborne two times. And in 1898 the inhabitants of the city of Montgomery (USA) saw extraordinary "cobwebs". Eyewitnesses claimed that the angel's hair resembled fine asbestos fibers and was slightly phosphorescent.
One of the most famous cases of the phenomenon of "angel hair" was on October 27, 1954. Then two people - Gennaro Lucetti and Pietro Lastrucci, who were standing on the terrace of a hotel in St. Mark's Square in Venice, saw two flying "luminous spindles" in the sky. left a fiery white trail behind them. Both objects were at a short distance from each other, walking at great speed, clearly heading towards Florence.

It seems that the UFOs were not alien to the sporting passion, because they proceeded, as it turned out, straight to the local stadium, where the match with the participation of the Italian football club Fiorentina was taking place. At first, unidentified flying objects simply hovered in the air, as if watching what was happening, and then began to perform some zigzag maneuvers, interrupting the game.
10 thousand spectators stunnedly watched how for 9 minutes (from 14.20 to 14.29) this “sweet couple” was disgraceful in the sky. Then the "plates" disappeared, and an unusual-looking snow fell on the field, which most of all resembled a shiny and slightly dirty disheveled cotton wool. The people who were present at this strange phenomenon, naturally, tried to catch the falling threads with their hands, but they immediately melted away, turning into a fetid mucus.
And only one of the fans, student Alfredo Jacopozzi, having made several unsuccessful attempts to catch the angel's hair, thought of winding the "heavenly threads" on a stick and placing them in a sealed sterile test tube (why this container ended up with him at the stadium, the enterprising student never was able to explain; most likely, he simply forgot to put the test tube out of his pocket).
Then the mysterious substance was sent to a chemical laboratory at a local university. There, the "hair" fell into the hands of Professor Giovanni Cannery. He instructed his colleague, Professor Danilo Gozzi, to deal with the strange substance. Analysis showed that the filaments are composed of a strange combination of calcium, silicon, magnesium and boron. At the same time, the investigated fibrous material, as it turned out, demonstrated "significant tensile and twisting resistance." After being subjected to high-temperature treatment, such a "hair" darkened and evaporated, leaving only a transparent melting precipitate.
Experts cautiously expressed their opinion that this substance could hypothetically turn out to be "something like borosilicon glass." 1962 - unidentified flying objects again honored the Fiorentina game with their attention: 5 "plates" that appeared in the sky right during the match literally covered the field with a gelatinous substance. True, this time the "hair" was in no hurry to melt, for several days "delighting" the townspeople with an unimaginable stench spreading from the stadium. 2003 - in Italy, in Vercelles, the mysterious "snow" fell again; this phenomenon was preceded by the so-called "non-quake". In the same year, "angel hair" covered the earth several times in various parts of the United States.
In the USSR, the mysterious substance was transferred for study from New Zealand in 1967. Then the writer B. Lyapunov received from the New Zealand researchers "plates" a sealed test tube with several strange threads of less than 0.1 cm3. Eight authoritative institutions in turn fought over the riddle, helpfully palmed off to mankind by heaven, and to no avail. The last to solve the puzzle of the universe was the Institute of Forensic Science under the USSR Prosecutor's Office. But his employees also failed to overtake their colleagues from other research institutes.
The only result of all research was the decomposition of "angel hair" into its constituent chemical elements. Physicist-radiometer L. Kirichenko, summing up the long-term work, wrote that it was possible to establish more or less reliably: “Under a microscope (at a magnification of 500 times in reflected light), the presented substance reveals a fine-fibrous structure with a thickness of the individual fibers that make up the bulk of 0.1 micron. The bulk of the fibers are entangled into clumps or individual "strands" 20 microns thick. The fibers are white, translucent. The analyzed material is not an analogue of some well-known education."
6 years later, in October 1973, a similar study was carried out by specialists from America, who initially assumed that they were dealing with hairs dropped from aircraft to jam enemy radars. But the latter, as it turned out, never stick together, much less evaporate, leaving behind either a sad memory or a stinking goo. 1978, February 10 - on the coast of New Zealand (near the city of Samara), "hairs" fell on the heads of local residents from an absolutely clear sky for two hours.
At the same time, not a single UFO was recorded in this area. Some of the threads looked like balls the size of a tennis ball that slowly unwound in the air. Other sticky threads drifted in clusters like a plume from an airplane, casting silver in the sunlight. The representative of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research of New Zealand, who urgently arrived at the place of the mysterious "precipitation", honestly admitted that he had never even heard of anything like that.
Unfortunately, during a series of experiments, the entire mass of the unique substance turned out to be consumed. To replenish the reserves of "angel hair", as it turned out, is not easy for scientists, despite the fact that "heavenly snow" is by no means a unique phenomenon and appears not only in exotic countries.
1990, July 20 - in Ivanovo, only the lazy could not observe mysterious balls flying in the sky at high speed, which maneuvered like real aces. At the same time, a white "web" crumbled to the ground, melting when touched. It is noteworthy that the pigeons, falling into the strip of this substance, suddenly turned over and began to fly … upside down!
1992 - strange threads that fell out in the Krasnodar Territory and the Vologda Region were brought to Moscow for research. Then the mass spectrometric study showed: "celestial filaments" consist of the most complex alloy of rare earth metals. It is noteworthy that several "hairs" have been preserved and are still stored in an airtight package.
Unidentified flying objects were also fairly “inherited” in August 1998 in the north of Wales: over 20 dozen UFOs, having carried out their ghostly “exercises” over the heads of the stunned Englishmen, disappeared without a trace, leaving a memory of the slowly fading “celestial web” that densely covered the surroundings.
Meanwhile, reports about the loss of "angel hair" continued and continue to come from various countries of the world. 2004 - a similar substance was discovered in the north of New South Wales (Australia), where the day before, local residents watched with amazement the "parade" of 20 "plates". Most of the "angel hair" fell in the small town of Churindi (70 km southeast of Tamworth), while people initially mistook the shiny threads for luxurious cobwebs.
Naturally, ufologists could not stay away from studying such a curious phenomenon. Sensational speculations poured out as if from a leaky sack. The most common among them were several: the American Charles Manny, for example, stated that the "celestial web" is an excess of "materialized energy" that occurs when a UFO materializes, and after dissolution "returns back to its dimension or other space-time continuum "; and the English ufologist Brinsley Le-Poer Trench defends his version, according to which the unknown substance is nothing more than ectoplasm, similar to the one that sometimes appears at spiritualistic seances.
Other popular versions of the origin of the gelatinous evaporating substance in one way or another associate the appearance of "angel hair" with the motor system of unidentified flying objects. And recently they started talking that this substance is comparable to … caterpillar silk, that is, it is a source of pure proteins. So, perhaps we should be talking about an ordinary food product? Or an attempt to genetically modify proteins for an as-yet-unknown purpose?
However, to this day, no one can claim to have revealed the secret of the "angel hair". It is noteworthy that the method of preserving the translucent threads, accidentally discovered by a Fiorentina fan, is still the most optimal one. If "heavenly snow" is found, it is wound on a stick and quickly sealed in an airtight package, or the mucus will have to be examined …
In recent years, Americans have begun to gaze more often at everything that appears above their heads. It was then that it turned out that not all the white stripes in the sky are the result of aircraft overflight. "Angel hair" does not stop falling on people's heads, causing … a sharp exacerbation of chronic diseases! According to media reports, when the stray fibers were examined, they were found to contain dangerous biological agents used by the military to create viruses. In particular, they contain a rare form of influenza V2, which to this day existed only in secret laboratories.
Researchers now often use a new term for celestial footprints - "chemtrails". It should be noted that in those areas where "hair" falls out most often, epidemics break out more often. This happened, in particular, in North Texas, where "angel hair" fell from the sky for 10 days.
The situation suddenly led to the fact that scientists began to doubt the "otherworldly" (or "otherworldly") origin of the strange substance. Much more often now there are suggestions that… we are to blame for the emergence of "chemtrails". Or rather, the military. For example, in April 1999, Canadian researcher William Thomas and journalist Cassini reported: a flying object, which may well turn out to be a military transport plane, several times "hung a web" over the territory of Canada and America. Sinking to the ground, the "angel hair" quickly turned into a brown, jelly-like substance; it was he who became interested in self-taught researchers, which, in the end, led to rather disastrous results.
At first, Cassini fell ill with a severe flu (he was collecting a strange substance for analysis), who felt great the day before. Then a biologist came to the hospital in serious condition, who analyzed the "cobwebs." Doctors stated: this patient has a significant upper respiratory tract damage. The same symptoms were found in the mistress of the house, on which, in fact, the "web" fell.
In general, the new reports excited the public, which, in turn, led to the creation of an observation center for this celestial phenomenon. It turned out that "chemtrails" behave not at all as it should be for respectable contrails from jet planes. As a rule, "chemtrails" continuously expand, gradually turning into stratus clouds, consisting of many rings. Observers also report parallel stripes or "tables in the sky, reminiscent of a tic-tac-toe game."
According to one version: America and Canada are facing a serious threat of the use of biological weapons by terrorists. Not without curious assumptions. For example, supporters of the extraterrestrial origin of the "celestial web" are sure: "chemtrails" actually contain substances that weaken human health, the government knows about this, but is silent and does not help enthusiastic researchers; it means that America is thus carrying out a secret program of population regulation.
Researcher Mike Blair's version is also popular. He assures that the basis of "chemtrails" is made up of barium salts, the spraying of which is carried out within the framework of the military program for testing the latest radar system. Based on the effect of reflection of radio waves, it makes it possible to observe objects in three dimensions at once.
But the doctors are seriously alarmed. After all, if Blair is right, the picture is very grim, because the mixture of barium salts, polymer fibers and other chemicals in the atmosphere can cause many unexplained seizures that doctors have to deal with every now and then in places where the "cobweb" appears. In particular, we are talking about nosebleeds, allergies, asthma, pneumonia, arthritis, diseases of the upper respiratory tract and even the intestines and muscle tissue (barium salts are perfectly absorbed into them).
It is clear that NASA, the American Environmental Protection Agency and a number of other influential government organizations hastened to disown suspicious celestial footprints, assuring that in reality people observed "ordinary contrails, which, thanks to air currents, can acquire the most bizarre outlines." It is probably unnecessary to explain why few people believed this message. As a result, the scientific world and ufologists once again found themselves on opposite sides of the barrier, accusing each other of spreading “all sorts of nonsense” (the former) and of deliberately hiding information (the latter).
In general, despite the presence of a large amount of evidence of the appearance of the notorious "angel hair" on our planet, the mystery of this phenomenon has not yet been solved. So far it has not been possible to establish what the mysterious melting fibers with veins are. Who cuts the "angel's hair" for us and what goal is pursued by throwing them onto our planet, remains a mystery as before …
