In 1959, a UFO was spotted above Evora, Portugal. About 30 minutes following the sighting, a large amount of extremely thin, white, gelatinous filaments fell down from the sky (colloquially known as Angel Hair or Space Jelly). It would tend to “melt” when left on the ground or held in the hand, from the body’s heat. A Portugese scientist collected samples in vials to study under a microscope, and found a microorganism.
>Evora’s microorganism was 4 millimeters thick and was made up of a nucleus with tentacles, this strange creature had defensive reactions to the plates for laboratory analysis at such a level that subsequent tests proved that it was resisting its tentacles against nothing else or anything less than 350 grams of pressure.
>“… Initially observed the preparation presented various colorations: the central body was yellow, egg color, while the tentacles showed a very intense red color. Over time a clear alteration of the colors was observed, the contrasts disappearing to give rise to a yellow brown tone, which became more and more dark.
>“The tentacles are formed of parallel filaments, joined together by a gelatinous substance. Each filament or strand is transparent, revealing in its interior corpuscles whose number increased with time (…), these filaments projected strongly on the sheet of glass, drew in it a perfectly defined line of contact where certain cultural formations appear to emerge (…); in the middle of the central body is seen an opening in the form of a mouth, around which are observed finest drawings, corresponding, perhaps, to folds or fissures existing in the substance that composes it (…). You can also see dark and round spots that draw a pentagonal shape that became increasingly regular.
>“The observations were made for about two years, at the end of which the tentacles, and then the central body, were disintegrating, progressively fraying.”
