1952: UFO Emits Weird White Material Onto Small French Town
Posted On: April 21, 2022

The year is 1952, the place, Oloron-Sainte-Marie, southwestern France. Many people saw a cigar-shaped UFO accompanied by 30 disc-shaped objects. These smaller UFOs dropped a white siliceous cotton which covered tree branches and roofs.


On October 17th, 1952 in the early afternoon, the weather was particularly fine in Oloron, according to one of the many witnesses, high school superintendent Jean-Yves Prigent, there appeared a "cottony cloud of strange shape. Above it, a narrow cylinder, apparently inclined at a 45-degree angle, was slowly moving in a straight line toward the southwest. A sort of plume of white smoke was escaping from its upper end."


In front of this "cylinder" were 30 smaller objects that, when viewed through opera glasses, proved to be red spheres, each surrounded by a yellow ring. "These 'saucers' moved in pairs", Prigent said, "following a broken path characterized in general by rapid and short zigzags. When two saucers drew away from one another, a whitish streak, like an electric arc, was produced between them."


But this was only the beginning of the strangeness. A white, hair like substance rained down from all of the objects, wrapping itself around telephone wires, tree branches, and the roofs of houses. When observers picked up the material and rolled it into a ball, it turned into a gelatin like substance and vanished. One man, who had observed the episode from a bridge, claimed the material fell on him, and he was able to extract himself from it only by cutting his way clear-at which point the material collected itself and ascended.


Yves Prigent last saw the flying saucers headed straight for Spain, while launching strange filaments. A professor did try to capture these, but they would have melted once in his wallet.


My Take: The official explanation is of floating spiders and optical illusions. Although the Angel Hair looks similar to spider silk. It dissolves very quickly, even in sealed containers. I guess the whole town had a mass optical illusion. What do you think the purpose of the Angel Hair is? Maybe waste from the UFOs or some kind of science experiment? I don’t think I would have been trying to pick it up.
