Angel Grass - Sightings

Sightings

There have been many reports of falls of angel hair around the world.

Angel hair was reported at the Miracle at Fatima on the 13th of September and October 1917.

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.
