It's a build up of static electricity in your hair, and it's usually a sign that the barometer is high (fine, clear weather) and sometimes of fresh winds. It's not a perfect guide, but who said you can't trust the old folk tales, eh?

The air is dry and lacking humidity so yes it is a bit of scientific folklore with some truth to it. The Static charge is the crackle in the hair due to the friction of the comb and the lack of humidity.

When the air is dry it is more conducive to static electricity. If you run your comb through your hair and it crackles, it is creating static electricity (which you hear crackling) and it mean fair weather. No humidity in the air.

I'm not quite sure. It may have something to do with UFO's. There is a strange phenomenon called 'angel hair' that follows UFO's path and drops down to earth. I would give you more information, but I don't think that angel hair (well i'm not sure if it's the answer) has anything to do with it. Look up angel hair on the internet and you can read some articles (no, not the pasta you eat.)

Low humidity causes static electricity. Much of Magick has scientific reasoning. However, no one yet has found the scientific source of static electricity and that is the Magick of it.
You can start a fire with a stone of pyrite and one of flint. However, if you don't know these stones it is Magick. No one knows yet knows the scientific source of flint and not obsidian.
