The Fatima Incident of 1917 was a critical event in the history of the paranormal. Believers and skeptics have long pondered the identity of Our Lady of Fatima, the brilliant entity who appeared above Fatima. Was she the Virgin Mary, sharing divine secrets with believers? Was she an angel, bringing a message of peace to a world at war? Or was she an alien being, inspiring humanity to look up and contemplate the mystery of the Cosmos? Now, in FATIMA REVISITED, an international panel of top scholars subjects the legendary apparitions of Fatima--widely regarded as a sacred religious event--to the scrutiny of modern scientific analysis; explores the connections between encounters with apparitions, angels, and aliens; and proposes a new paradigm for such unexplained phenomena. This third volume in the acclaimed trilogy, which includes the definitive histories of the Fatima case entitled HEAVENLY LIGHTS and CELESTIAL SECRETS, is the result of a transdisciplinary study by the Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network at the University Fernando Pessoa in Porto, Portugal.
