Miracle of the Sun

#1

This one's dedicated to MR. I know how much he loves UFOs and hates religion.

In October 1917, Fatima, Portugal was the site of perhaps the most widely witnessed religious miracle/UFO sighting in history. Three children said that they had encountered the apparition of a woman who was widely interpreted to be the virgin Mary. She told them that a great miracle would happen in a particular place on this particular day. So a big crowd estimated at between 30,000 and 100,000 turned out on a rainy, cloudy day. The crowd included newspaper reporters and university professors.

What they saw was clouds part, the sun grow dim and then turn opaque, after which it started spinning on its axis while throwing out colored lights that lit up the crowd and the surrounding clouds. Then the sun left its place in the sky and flew in a zig-zag path over everyone's head. The strange events lasted about ten minutes, though apparently it subjectively seemed longer.

Or that's what many of the people reported.

Skeptics were and are... well, skeptical. The crowd is awfully large for mass hysteria, but it's possible that social psychological suggestion was very strong in a crowd of religious believers all primed to see something extraordinary. Some skeptics insist that clouds may have dimmed the sun and that even under those conditions continuing to stare at the sun might have caused peculiar visual effects in many witnesses, such as unusual colored after-images. Skeptic Joe Nickell suggests that what they saw was a 'sun-dog', a metereorological phenomenon that isn't all that unusual (they are familiar to sailors), resembling a dimmer and sometimes rainbow colored false sun, caused by the sun reflecting off ice crystals in the clouds.

Jacques Vallee provides some interesting background information on the Fatima event. Apparently reports have been distorted since then, as well as photos gone missing. Was it a religious miracle, or an interdimensional manifestion? If the latter, what is the purpose of the manifestation, if not to create of religious movement surrounding the alleged miracle and the prophecies? What vested interest do these beings have in mimicking a divine miracle before thousands of human witnesses? Or has the event been filtered and packaged in accordance with Catholic theology?

Vallee: Fatima Event Was A UFO

Excerpted from _Cosmic Conflict_

"More seriously, the description made at Fatima, Portugal, OF A
SILVERY DISK WHICH FLEW THROUGH THE SKY, WAS SEEN BY SEVENTY THOUSAND
WITNESSES AND WAS PHOTOGRAPHED AS IT MANEUVERED, deserves a place in
our resume of the 'flying saucer' legend..."

In this same book, Vallee states: "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. The witnesses were three shepherds:
Lucia, aged ten, and her cousins Francisco Mario and Jacinto Marto,
aged nine and seven. Today, Fatima is one of the most celebrated
places of pilgrimage in the entire world.

"...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 DISC, OF A VERY DEFINITE 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 sun
(disk?), revolving all the time, began falling toward the earth,
reddish and bloody, threatening to crush everyone under its fiery
weight...'"

"...Fatima was a modern event, yet it is already clouded with the
distortions of 'belief'. The Photographs of the object had
'disappeared.' The key prophecy has been suppressed. Lucia shut
herself away from the world. As the years passed, the object was
turned into a 'dancing sun,' the angel hair became 'rose petals,' and
the entire phenomena was removed from the field of science and
entrusted to the religionists...

"There have been many modern miracles of the Fatima type, but they
rarely gain much attention outside of religious circles. The flying
saucers get much more publicity than the miracles.

"Between the years 1937 and 1945, an entity who identified herself
as the Queen of the Universe appeared more than 100 times to four
young girls in the tiny hamlet of Heede, Germany. The girls, aged
twelve through fourteen, were Anna Schulte, Greta and Maria
Ganseforth, and Susan Bruns. These visions began in November, 1937
and continued throughout the war, with the Lady urging the world to
'pray, pray much, especially for the conversion of sinners.' Hitler
was probably none too happy about all of this, especially since he
openly considered himself to be Antichrist.

"(There are all kinds of stories and rumors that Hitler was a trance
medium himself and was in contact with evil entities who advised him
and directed many of his genocidal policies.)

"Lesser miracles have included weeping statues and pictures which
seem to fit into the poltergeist category.

"...On Sunday, June 18, 1961, four young girls were playing marbles
outside of the little village of Garabandal, Spain, when they
suddenly saw an 'angel.' The girls, Mary Cruz Gonzales, eleven,
Conchita Gonzales, twelve, Jacinta Gonzales, twelve, and Mary Loly
Mazon, twelve (none of the Gonzales girls were directly related),
said that he appeared to be about nine years old, was dressed in a
long, seamless blue robe, had a small face with BLACK EYES, and 'fine
hands and short fingernails.' For some reason, he gave the impression
of being very strong. This figure was surrounded by a dazzling glow
and faded into thin air without saying a word...

"Soon after these initial experiences, the girls began to go into
trances (termed a state of ecstasy by religionists) during which they
would see the Lady. Sometimes these trances would last for hours, and
the girls would remain fixed in an awkward kneeling position and
their heads thrown back and their eyes staring at the vision, totally
oblivious to the hundreds of people swarming around them.

"The Lady was accompanied by two angels on this occasion. The
'angels' were dressed alike, 'as if they were twins.' The Lady had
long, thin hands, a long angular face 'with a fine nose.' and lips
which were 'a bit thin.' She seemed to be 'rather tall' (Note:
Elsewhere in his book Keel states that many of the "Men In Black" or
"People" in black reported in other incidents were beings of the
above description - Branton). Her hair was a deep nut brown, parted
in the center. This is, of course, an almost classic description of
the 'long finger' UFO entities described by many contactees.

Even more startling, on the Lady's right the girls could see 'A
SQUARE OF RED FIRE FRAMING A TRIANGLE WITH AN EYE AND SOME WRITING.
THE LETTER WAS IN AN OLD ORIENTAL SCRIPT!'"

(Note: this also seems to correspond with the ancient "Eye of Horus"
of Egypt, which according to Illuminists represented Sirius and was a
major emblem within the Babylonian Mystery Religion. There have been
alleged photographs of obelisks on the Moon of the exact shape and
description as those found in St. Peter's Square in Rome, in Egypt,
and originally in Babylon. These four-sided, pyramidal-capped
obelisks traditionally were the "alters" around which the ancient
worshippers of Baal practiced their occult arts and were a
combination of phallic and Sun symbols. Could such obelisks be a
connecting factor between the ancient Babylonian-Egyptian "Mystery"
society and exterran societies of a similar nature, such as perhaps
the one alleged to exist in the Sirius system? - Branton).

"The angels in all these cases sound suspiciously like our
celebrated 'little men' .

"...The many messages conveyed by the Lady have conformed precisely
to Catholic dogma, using phrases and references which are significant
to trained theologists but would be meaningless to children. The
message of October 18, 1961, as dictated by the children, read: 'We
must make many sacrifices, do much penance. We must visit the Blessed
Sacrament frequently... unless we do this, a punishment will befall
us.'

"...On Friday, June 18, 1965, Conchita entered a trance and was
purportedly given the following statements by the Lady:

"'As my message of the eighteenth of October has not been complied
with, and as it has not been made known to the world, I am telling
you that this is the last one. Previously, the cup was filling; now
it is brimming over... You are now given the last warnings.' (Take
note of the remarkable different between the humble, patient and
longsuffering Christ of the New Testament, and this boasting,
impatient and wrathful "Whore" of Babylon that has appeared to so
many children the world over. This is certainly not like the "Mary"
of the New Testament and, in fact, it is not! - Branton).

"There is a wealth of evidence and testimony which leaves little
doubt that these children of Garabandal were being possessed by some
outside influence and were undergoing a supernormal experience...

"THE NATION OF THE THIRD EYE - There is no reason to think that the
four children of Garabandal," Keel continues, "had ever seen, or even
knew about, the eye symbol on the Great Seal of the United States
(ie. the seal of the Illuminati -Branton). Nor is it remotely
possible that the children, or any of the elders of Garabandal, could
have known of the importance that this symbol plays in the silent
contactee situation. In fact, very few ufologists are aware of it.

"THOSE MYSTERIOUS 'MEN IN BLACK' WHO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD IN
UNLICENSED CADILLACS HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN SEEN WEARING LAPEL PINS
BEARING THE SYMBOL. THEY HAVE ALSO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES DIRECTLY AS
BEING FROM 'THE NATION OF THE THIRD EYE.' SO WE CALL THE SYMBOL THE
THIRD EYE."===http://barrytaff.net/2014/04/jaques-vall...encounter/
