Angel hair or siliceous cotton is a sticky, fibrous substance reported in connection with UFO sightings, or manifestations of the Virgin Mary. It has been described as being like a cobweb or a jelly.〔 It is named for its similarity to fine hair, or spider webs, and in some cases the substance has been found to be the web threads of migrating spiders. Reports of angel hair say that it disintegrates or evaporates within a short time of forming.〔〔 Angel hair is an important aspect of the UFO religion Raëlism,〔 and one theory among ufologists is that it is created from "ionized air sleeting off an electromagnetic field" that surrounds a UFO. ==Sightings== There have been many reports of falls of angel hair around the world. Angel hair was reported during the 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg〔 p. 87〕 and also at the Miracle at Fatima on the 13th of September and October 1917.〔Fernandes and d'Armada, Heavenly Lights 2005 p. 83-103〕 The most reported incidence occurred in Oloron, France in 1952. On October 27, 1954, Gennaro Lucetti and Pietro Lastrucci stood on the balcony of a hotel in St. Mark's Square in Venice and saw two "shining spindles" flying across the sky leaving a trail of the angel hair.〔 In the Portuguese city of Évora on November 2, 1959, angel hair was collected and analyzed under a microscope by a local school director and later by armed forces technicians and scientists of the University of Lisbon. The scientists concluded that the angel hair was produced by a small insect or perhaps some kind of single-celled organism. In New Zealand and Australia local newspapers have reported many sightings since the 1950s, although many have been identified as spider webs after analysis. The most recent incidence was reported in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka on October 20, 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angel hair (folklore)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
