Below are four examples of testimony that connects UFO with the sighting of angel hair. I could cite many more with the same flavor and common characteristics. Do you need more evidence? Let's try to explain this phenomena, not explain it away. 3) October 1953 Victoria "In recent years only a few UFO reports refer to a filamentous substance "angel's hair", having been seen falling from the sky after a flying saucer had passed over. In the case below, the second in Australia but only now reported to UFOIC, it is believed that the same substance is involved. In the earliest report of October 1953, over Victoria a sample was recovered and made available for laboratory analysis. The examination revealed that the substance consisted of a nylon-like amorphous mass with traces of magnesium, calcium, boron and silicon. Since then the original material, which was kept in an air-tight container shrank from three to a mere half inch without residue." (A photograph of the remaining sample was shown.)

White filament falls at time of UFO sighting (2). 5 August 1961 0820hrs 55mins Mt Hale Station Western Australia (26.03S 117.15E) "Twelve round flying objects, moving fast in pairs, were sighted on August 6th, 1961, by ten independent witnesses near Meekatharra. They left a white trail of "streamers" which crumbled and disappeared when picked up by startled watchers at Mt Hale station, seventy-five miles west of Meekatharra. The silvery, round objects passed over the station at regular intervals between 8.20 and 9.15 am. (9) 6 June 1962 1120hrs Caroda New South Wales (30.01S 150.22E) "On 6th June 1962, at 11.20 a.m., six silent UFOs, erratically flying high in a cloudless sky, attracted the attention of residents of Shalimar, Caroda. The first of these objects resembled a very brilliant star, and climbed slowly to an altitude slightly south of the zenith, where it became too small to be seen. A few minutes later, a second silvery globe was observed travelling from the north about half-way between the zenith and north-east horizon, then in an arc which brought it overhead. After completing circle, it hovered for ten seconds, then moved off in a south-easterly direction where it was lost from view about 30 degrees above the horizon. Of all the objects, this one was the lowest and best defined, enabling its circular outline to be distinguished from that of an aircraft. A third object appeared, resembling the first and following a similar route. Then another very high speck of light became visible in the west. It appeared to leave a trail of shiny, web-like filaments, which gradually disintegrated as they drifted through the air. Two UFOs, followed very high in the sky and were seen for only a short while. Mrs Jean Williams, her daughter Julie and Mrs Marie Moore are agreed that, for some time afterwards, a hazy mist of light hreads seemed to fill the sky. Mr S Willams, who returned home later, noticed that these traces of silvery thread, which slowly disintegrated , were sometimes as long as five feet, and seemed to be of a fine nylon-like texture. Although a search over the countryside for traces of these wispy threads was to no avail, he is convinced that the strange substance emanated from the flying saucers which had passed overhead.
