 >>Spider webs float through Santa Cruz

 >>SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Long, floating spider webs are bobbing
 >>through the skies of Santa Cruz this week, confusing some
 >>community members concerned about biological weapons, UFOs and
 >>other phenomena.

 >>The gossamer-thin, shimmery "sky webs" are between 18 inches and
 >>several feet long, and have been seen drifting through the sky,
 >>sailing along the coastline and, at times, catching on fences or
 >>draping on trees.

 >>The webs come from young spiders that launch themselves on their
 >>homemade parachutes after hatching to be blown to a new home.

For those researchers interested in this topic Keith Basterfield
has compiled, "A Catalogue And Analysis Of Australian 'Angel
Hair' Cases" at

http://project1947.com/kbangel.htm

Keith analyzes the cases in a number of ways including location,
time of year, time of day, duration and many other criteria
including those cases where spiders have been found at the
sites.

Also provide are cases where analysis of the material revealed
that it originated with spiders. Keith also some relevant notes
on spiders.

Murray Bott wrote a supplement to Keith's work, "New Zealand
Reports of 'Angel Hair' in relation to the UFO Phenomenon"

Finally, a small amount of additional links are provided after
the end of the Murray's article.
