Then they went back home and by 23:30 they had the second observation of an object with a shape of a disc.The object was 250 meters above ground,had flashing lights and was flying south.

Description -----------: The witnesses were flying in an airplane of the Portuguese Airways Company (TAP),a "Boeing 707",from Lisbon to Cabo Verde and Las Palmas. Over the Portuguese coast (Sagres),the cmdt. Rodrigo Freitas was alerted by the flight mechanic technician,Francisco Duarte,because of the existence of a few strange lights in front of them. Mr. Freitas said that there was a formation of fdive lights or objects who formed a central block.Two of the lights were spinning. The phenomenon left a trail behind.The event took place 80 miles away of the airplane.At that point the Boeing was flying at a speed of 900 Km/H and was 19000 ft above ground.The objects,or lights,were reported to be 16000 ft higher. They tried to find out if somebody else from another airplane had seen the phenomenon and they got the information that another crew from a South African Airways airplane had observed the same event 40 minutes before.Knowing the other airplane's position,Mr. Rodrigo Freitas calculated that the phenomenon had moved at a speed of 36000 Km/H. Later,Mr. Freitas made a report which was sent to NASA in the U.S.A.,as was usual in this kind of observation.

Description -----------: Two objects with a disc shape were observed over the city.They were grey with darker color on the edges.One of them executed several movements,stopping and changing directions at high speed. At that point several people,including teachers from the Secondary School "Escola Comercial e Industrial de Evora",observed the falling of a strange white substance,(angel hair). This phenomenon took place over a four hour period.Samples were taken and examined.It was then possible to observe a strange being with central round body.Ten arms in perfect symmetry were radiated from it.This observation happened while making some tests with the substance.
Scientific Conclusions:
During the First Iberic UFO Symposium in Oporto,October 7 & 8, 1978,and for the first time since 1959,the reports made by the teachers were released and discussed.At the time,and with a total agreement of the participants on the symposium,the ordinary " Angels Hair " became named "Fibralvis",a word composed from the Latin "Fibra" (Fiber) plus "Alvis" (Alvine),then adapted to Portuguese as "Fibralvina".
Material deductions:
The substance looks like flax which is linked by white filaments arranged in a random pattern. The filaments are from a natural source and not artificial fibers.They form some kind of felt with wave shaped fibers,sometimes with nodosity. Physical action is the only way to separate them.Compared with cotton it is much thinner. The substance is a vegetable product and not animal.Its combustion is fast and leaves a very tiny residuum of white ashes. The organism found in the experiments is entirely connected to the UFO phenomenon.
This subject was presented for debate,by Mr. Joaquim Fernandes,Director of CEAFI at the time,as a team effort by his group.
