- Was it part of nature's enigmatic web, or part of a sinister
web of conspiracy in the black-helicopter, secret-mass-experiment vein?
-
- Hard to say, but one thing seems clear: The skies over
Galveston County on Friday were literally filled with floating, shimmering
strands and fuzzy, luminescent wads that looked a lot like spider webs.
-
- Lorenzo DeLacerta saw them about noon when he delivered
building material to a site a mile east of the San Louis Pass Bridge.
-
- "It blew my mind," DeLacerta said. "I
have never seen anything like it before." Others on the site saw them,
too, he said, but their minds were not blown. They were like 'Yeah?' They
didn't seem to think much about it."
-
- Lorenzo called his sister, Gloria, who saw the same thing
in the sky over La Marque.
- She called The Daily News where a half dozen skeptical
news people were forced to admit that there was, indeed, under way a slow,
steady parade of slender web-like strands, some near the ground, some way
up where the airliners ply.
-
- The webs were visible in the air for five hours, and
poles were left wrapped with the sticky strands and fuzzy wads. So what
were they? Official sky-web sources seem scarce. A spokesman at the National
Weather Service Office in League City said the service had received no
reports of flying webs, and that flying webs weren't really their thing.
-
- The phenomenon has occurred in at least two other places.
The Associated Press reported Oct. 8 that "long, floating spider webs"
were "bobbing through the skies of Santa Cruz, Calif., confusing some
community members concerned about biological weapons, UFOs and other phenomena."
-
- And the Wallowa Chieftain in Oregon reported on Dec.
22, 2000, the sightings of "web-like material falling from the sky"
that some locals thought came "from three military jets that had been
flying back and forth in an east-west flight pattern at high altitude."
-
- A University of Wyoming microbiology professor quoted
in the AP story attributed the Santa Cruz webs to a seasonal migration
of hatchling spiders leaving their nests. The professor, who did not return
messages left at his home and office, said it was not uncommon to see "dozens"
of webs floating across the plains of Wyoming.
-
- But observers here were not reporting dozens of webs,
but hundreds of thousands. One explanation, of sorts, can be found on the
World Wide Web, where scores of people are convinced that the webs are
man-made and may be part of a sinister conspiracy. Like a lot of web-based
topics, exactly what is the man-made material and the conspiracy's goal
is a little murky.
-
- Some posts say the webs appear on days when strange condensation
trails, like those from jet airplanes, also occur. Was Galveston County
visited by a mundane migration of arachnids or something else?
-
- Lorenzo DeLacerta, who spent Friday contemplating the
webs, does not know what they were, but he says he's sure of one thing.
"I have never seen anything like this before. I have seen spiders
floating on webs before, but I have never seen this."

- Dear Jeff,
-
- It may be a mystery to those in Galveston County, TX
and Houston, but it is no mystery to me here in the Hill Country of TX.
I have watched HEAVY Chem spraying the day and night before it fell. It
has gotten so noticeable that I can practically predict when they will
be spraying ("Oh - beautiful blue sky, cloudless day, what a perfect
day for spraying the country and people with chemtrails....")
-
- When I saw them spraying the day before, the wisps drifting
slowly to the east, prior to this report from Galveston (I saw the report
on your sight on 12/23/2002) I watched with my binoculars and made several
immediate observations to myself: 1) You guys in Houston and New Orleans
are going to get another dose, 2) they appeared wispy and spider-web like
to me already, (which is why I decided to write after I saw the report,
which only confirmed my initial observation) and finally, 3) the large
jet aircraft, with the wings almost invisible in the sunlight, appeared
to me to be a huge vial slowly pouring out a fine, misty liquid.
-
- I'll say this though, if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
ain't ridin', they are sure saddling up!
