In 1917, from May 13 to October 13 near the village of Fatima a series of paranormal/religious events took place which turned to be spread and
accepted around the catholic world as "apparitions of the Virgin Mary".
Ufologists on the other hand, feel that the events at Fatima in 1917, may have been a close encounter of the fourth kind. With that said they have
good evidence to back this claim.
Jacques Vallee describes what happened at Fatima:
"The crowd that stood in a field in Fatima, a small village in the district of Leiria, some sixty two miles north of Lisbon, on October 13, 1917, was
waiting there for a miracle, because three children had been assured such an event would take place after a number of meetings with an
"entity" that came from the sky in a
"globe of light."
According to the very words of the Reverend General Vicar of Leiria, who was one of the witnesses, the lady came in an
"aeroplane of light,"
an
"immense globe," flying westwards, at moderate speed.
It
irradiated a very bright light. Some other witnesses saw a
white being coming out of the globe, which several minutes later took
off,
disappearing in the direction of the sun.
The last episode was the miracle itself. It was seen by seventy thousand persons, among whom were pious individuals and atheists, clergymen and
reporters from a socialist newspaper.
As promised, it happened on October 13 at noon. Among the crowd was Professor Almeida Garrett, of Coimbra University, a scientist, who described the
phenomena in the following terms: 'It was raining hard, and the rain
trickled down everyone's clothes.
Suddenly, the sun shone through the dense cloud which covered it: everybody looked in its direction.
It looked like a disk of very difinitive
contour. It was not dazzling. I don't think that it could be compared to a dull silver disk, as someone said later in Fatima. No. It rather
possessed a clear, changing brightness, which one could compare to a pearl.
It looked like a polished wheel. This is not poetry. My eyes have seen it. This clear!shaped
disk suddenly began
turning. It
rotated with increasing speed. Suddenly, the crowd began crying with anguish. The disk, revolving all the time, began falling toward the earth,
reddish and bloody, threatening to crush everyone under its fiery weight.
As a self proclaimed ufo investiagtor this does not sound like "Mother Mary Appiration"!!! I think the crowd may have been delusional at the time
and what they were really experiencing was first contact with an alien race!
I stand by my claim, the statements made by witnesses indicate contact with advanced beings, unless anybody thinks otherwise I'm willing to debate
this matter.
This is the orginal Fatima photograph.
Not suprisingly there is a ufo at the bottom right hand side.
