Dear List Members,

The UFO bacterium-like hypothesis was suggested by the
Portuguese researcher Dr. Raul Berenguel in the last 70's in his
book, OVNI Portas para o Ano Zero - UFO Door For Year Zero -
where he deals extensively with the very disturbing Evora case,
November 2, 1959, in the south of Portugal.

We recounted those events in the TV documentary for RTP 2, the
second channel of Portuguese State Television, produced by our
Center - CTEC - at the University Fernando Pessoa, in Porto, and
presented by me. That episode is available at:

In his book, now out of print, Raul Berenguel reproduced the
original report of a daily "silver disc" observed through a
little telescope over Evora town made by a large group of
people, scholars and students from the main local Institute.

In the same moment a large amount of angel-hair substance was
delivered over the houses and streets of Evora covering a large
area of the center city. Caught in the angel-hair substance -
Berenguel called it "fibralvina", a neologism for the substance
- was a little "organism" that was the controversial subject of
a dispute in those days concerning its nature.

The Evora dossier is too long to be described here.

Nevertheless, its features seems to be compared within the
"bacterium hypothesis" here described and also pointed by my
friend Jacques Vall=E9e.
