BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Translated from Portuguese and Edited by Andrew D. Basiago & Eva M. Thompson
Foreword by Dr. Jacques F. Vallée

A meticulous synthesis of history, science, and anthropology, Heavenly Lights establishes that the Fátima Incident of 1917 involved not “Marian apparitions” — as is conventionally believed — but rather, a series of close encounters with alien beings.

The first history of Fátima to be written by Portuguese historians based on the original documents, Heavenly Lights subjects all of the pertinent facts of the Fátima case to a sweeping evidentiary analysis that is at once thorough and fascinating.

In periodic passages describing “Parallels in Ufology,” the authors identify many relevant connections between the enigmatic events that took place at Fátima and numerous other episodes in the strange and storied annals of UFO history.

When it was first published in Portugal in 1995, entitled As Aparições de Fátima e o Fenómeno OVNI, the Jornal de Notícias heralded this work as “a literary success without precedent in the field of Portuguese ufological studies.”

This new translation offers a powerful and convincing argument for mainstream ufologists and religious researchers alike to re-examine the actual evidence that at last explains the enduring mystery of the Fátima Incident.

Topics discussed in Heavenly Lights include how...

the Fátima Incident of 1917 was a close encounter of the third kind
the Fátima apparitions involved a series of contacts with alien beings
Our Lady of Fátima was not the Virgin Mary but an extraterrestrial
Sister Lucia revealed information relevant to the UFO phenomenon
the three children of Fátima became pawns of the UFO cover-up
“the Miracle of the Sun” was caused by an unidentified flying object
Ufology must address religious and visionary experiences like Fátima
the Fátima case involved altered states of consciousness, holograms, microwave radiation, out-of-body experiences, and telepathic communication

Marian apparitions relate to unexplained aerial phenomena, including alien abduction, “angel hair,” foo-fighters, flying saucers, and UFO secrecy
popular clamor about the Fátima secrets, inspired by Pope John Paul II, obscures the fact that Fátima was the first major UFO case of the 20th century
