During a football match between Fiorentina and Pistoiese at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, thousands of spectators witnessed unidentified flying objects (UFOs) halt the game. The UFOs were described as egg-shaped and were accompanied by a glittering substance, sometimes called “angel hair” or “silver glitter,” which fell from the sky. The incident continues to be debated, with some attributing it to extraterrestrial life and others suggesting more earthly explanations, such as migrating spiders or other natural phenomena.
