Volume II of the Fatima Trilogy!

Did the Jesuits conceal evidence of alien contact at Fátima? The Fátima incident was the most exceptional religious event of the 20th century. In 1917, three Portuguese children encountered a radiant woman, who told them three secrets about the fate of the Earth. During “The Miracle of the Sun,” the solar orb was seen to dance in the sky by thousands of awestruck onlookers who flocked to Fátima.

The apparitions were presumed to be a case of divine intervention in human affairs, a sign from Heaven that the world war then raging in Europe would soon come to an end. A shrine sprang up at Fátima that drew millions of believers, and a myth grew that the Fátima prophecies would one day be fulfilled as a testament of faith in a secular age.

In 1978, Portuguese historians Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d’Armada were given unprecedented access to the original records of the Fátima incident, which had been held secretly by the Church in archives located at the Sanctuary of Fátima since 1917.

In Heavenly Lights – a work hailed by the Fortean Times (UK) as “priceless” – Fernandes and d’Armada explored the many intriguing linkages they discovered in the secret archives between the apparitions of Fátima and the worldwide UFO phenomenon.

Here, for the first time, they tell the esoteric history of the “cover story” concocted by the Church in 1941, which has both shaped our modern view of the Fátima incident and obscured its true significance as the first major close encounter case of the 20th century.

At the heart of the matter, they reveal, lies a conspiracy by the Jesuits to suppress the fact that the entities encountered by the children at Fátima were not deities descending from Heaven but rather alien beings visiting our planet from “elsewhere” in the vast Cosmos.

The second book in a trilogy of fascinating exposés on the mysterious Fátima Incident!

About the Authors:

Joaquim Fernandes, Ph.D., is Professor of History at the University Fernando Pessoa in Porto, Portugal and a co-founder of its Center for the Transdisciplinary Study of Consciousness. His interests include the history and philosophy of science and the comparative anthropology of religion, with an emphasis on paradoxical and anomalistic phenomena. His history doctoral thesis was on The Imagined Extraterrestrial in Portuguese Culture. He has published three works with Fina d’ Armada about so-called “Marian apparitions,” all of which focus on the series of apparitions at Fátima that are the subject of this work. He directs Project MARIAN, the Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network, which seeks to discover common linkages between different types of paranormal experience. He is a member of the Society for Scientific Exploration at Stanford University, the History of Science Society, and other academic organizations.

Historian Fina d’Armada holds a Master’s degree in Women’s’ Studies. Her dissertation was entitled Women during the Portuguese Expansion in the Time of Vasco De Gama. From 1977 to 1980, Portugal’s National Institute of Scientific Investigation awarded her a scholarship to write The Portuguese Woman during the First Republic, the period of Portuguese history spanning from 1920 to 1926. During her research, she consulted the secret archives of Fátima, and this influenced the course of her later academic career. Since then, she has written five books about the Fátima incident, all based on original documents held in the archives -- three of which (including this work) were co-authored by Joaquim Fernandes -- and hundreds of articles. Her research interests include phenomenology, local history, the history of women, and the era of Portuguese discovery.
