Flying Saucers and Angel Hair

Monday March 5, 2007
Every now and then I get a little extra time to surf the Web, and yes, I always look for more on UFOs. I actually like to see old reports, and find something of interest to think about, and search out more evidence on. Recently, I came across a site that I had book marked about six months ago, and just never had a chance to get back to. It was from Australia, and its subject was "angel hair." This may seem bizarre, but back when I was a young lad in the 1950's, angel hair was often in the news, and the subject of television series, like "One Step Beyond," Science Fiction Theater," and others.

I was surprised to find that "Science Fiction Theater" was supposedly based on real life events. Had I known that when I was young, it would have scared me even more than it did. Now today, things are always falling out of the sky, because of all the objects in orbit around the Earth, and you don't hear much about angel hair any more. Angel hair was this spider web type of substance that was often associated with flying saucer reports. Usually, it dissipated very quickly, and had some magic properties to it. Sound strange... well it is true. Here is a list of Angel hair cases. Check it out. You might find it interesting. Now you know what I do in my spare time.

This sounds like chemtrails perhaps?

I well recall the “angel hair” reports. I also recall the mysterious chunks of blue ice that fell from the sky and smelled bad. Turned out they were the result of malfunctioning “honey tank” drain valves on airliners.

The water from the on-board toilets, which was/is colored blue, was leaking out of the sewage holding tank through the malfunctioning drain valve and freezing on the outside. When the aircraft would encounter warmer conditions, as in a descent, the blue ice would begin to melt and sluff off.

No wonder it stunk!!
