Nevertheless, the cases of cigar-shaped UFOs (sometimes accompanied by other round objects) observed in association with angel hair falls, are the most difficult to explain. Rapid dissipation of thé substance was reported in 12 of 43 cases. In seven ofthese 12 cases, there were also visual sightings of UFOs.
