The mysterious "angel hair" related to sightings, what is it?

Despite how much science has advanced since the mid-twentieth century, there are still many mysteries to solve on our planet.In Mysterious we have seen 5 mysteries of the human body that remain unanswered and this time we wanted to approach a phenomenon that has been reported worldwide generally related to Marian apparitions or UFO phenomena and is known as "angel hair" . What is the mysterious "angel hair"? Has science given any explanation? Join us to find out!

The mysterious "angel hair"

It is called "angel hair" a phenomenon that apparently occurs during UFO sightings or apparitions of the Virgin Although it has not been possible to verify on all occasions what kind of material it is, it is also known as «Silicon cotton» .They are threads or sticky fibers of a gelatinous substance similar to the threads of a cobweb, which suddenly appears and disintegrates soon .

The mysterious

There are testimonies of this phenomenon since 1561 in which it was described when talking about a strange event in the sky of the city of Nuremberg.Other more recent cases of the presence of "angel hair" occurred in Oloron, France, in 195 2, in Venice in 1954, when two tourists from their hotel saw two cylinders in the sky and how they gave off the mysterious "angel hair" and especially that of Cova da Iria in Portugal, where the phenomenon appeared twice during the apparitions of Fatima in 1917.

There are several explanations about what "angel hair" can be. On one of the occasions when it was collected and could be analyzed, it turned out to be arana fabric produced by migratory aranas.These aranas go from one place to another by air planning on threads that weave themselves and act as gliders.Some scientists believe that it could be dust particles that due to atmospheric electricity they polarize and join together to form true threads.Also, threads collected in Italy in 1954 were analyzed and it was concluded that it was a fibrous substance in whose composition the borosilicate glass prevailed.

The mysterious

In the case of the apparitions of Fatima, the «angel hair that was collected was analyzed and the only thing that could be found out — let's not forget that they happened in 1917 — was that they were a plant product and not of animal origin and about their physical appearance they said they were similar to “white flakes.” The phenomenon had already been observed in other appearances and that is why in many places it was known as «threads of the Virgin ».

The followers of the UFO phenomenon have other responses .They think they may be a phenomenon produced by the ionization of air around flying objects that would cause it fell like sleet, by some type of energy converted into matter or by the antigravity propulsion that this kind of precipitate would produce.

The mysterious

Of all these investigations the experts they deduce that possibly they receive the same name several different phenomena .They can be cobwebs, dust particles, borosilicate glass or some other completely natural atmospheric phenomenon.What do you think? Do you think scientists are right or do you think that angel's hair may be related in some way to paranormal phenomena?
