entity to go to the place of the meeting. According to the very words of the
Reverend General Vicar of Leiria, who was one of the witnesses, the entity came
in an "aeroplane of light", an " immense globe, flying westwards,at
moderate speed. It radiated 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.

Antonio Ribera The following data reports the event that was known as "The
Miracle of the Sun" which was witnessed by a great amount of people.
1-Weather conditions: -Pressure: 749.7 mm at 13:00 hours -Temperature: 13.2
Celsius at 13:00 hours -Humidity: 87.04 % -Direction of winds: W-NW
(12:00/14:00) -Falling rain: 9.5 mm (12:00/14:00) -Speed of winds: 7 km/h at
13:00 h ; 24 km/h at 14:00 hours -Visibility of Sun: 6 minutes from 13:00 to
14:00 hours -Total visibility of Sun this day: 3:45 hours -Angle of Sun: 42
degrees 44' 2-Before the "Miracle": 50 000 people wanted to witness
the event, announced three months before by the entity to the three children.
Journalists, teachers, workers, priests, farmers, children, sick people, etc., etc.,
all them, observed the "dark cloud" coming closer to the usual place.
By this, some people started praying. By 13:47 hours rain had gone and the sun
was visible for a while. Another small white smoke cloud appeared over the oak
tree while the first one was still visible in the sky. Meanwhile, Lucia kept
talking with the entity and,as the dark cloud moved, a silver "globe"
was uncovered. At the end of the dialogue the entity pointed her finger to the
place where the sun was, as if she was pretending to make a sign to the silver
"globe", and left. 3-Description of the phenomenon: When the entity
left, the clouds opened and a bright silver disk appeared, spinning and
shining as if it was the sun. At this point the "miracle" was done.
It stayed like that for 8 to 10 minutes and then became dark. Then, for unknown
reason, the disk looked as if it would crash, which caused a sensation of fear
among the crowd. It took off with irregular movement. 4-Secondary effects: Sick
people recovered from illness. Rising temperature dried clothes and
environment. Sensation of fear, commotion and anguish. Environment colored by
several colors. 5-Percentage of witnesses: 22% Farmers 22% House wives 06%
Lawyers 06% Journalists 01% Engineers A. Ribera's investigation concluded that
the crowd that stood in a field at Fatima, a small village in the district of
Leiria, some 62 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 shepherds: Lucia, aged 10,and her
cousins Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto, aged 9 and 7. Among the crowd was
Professor Almeida Garrett, of Coimbra University, a scientist, who described
the phenomenon 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 was not dazzling.
I don't think that it could be compared to a dull silver disc, 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 petry. My eyes have seen it. This clear shaped disc suddenly began turning.
It
rotated with increasing speed".
10-13-1917; Fatima (District of leiria), Portugal
Three young shepherds (Lucia, age 10, her cousins,
Francisco and Jacinto Marto, nine and seven, respectively) were gathering
together the sheep that they were herding. Strangely, they were drawn to the
sky, and as they looked up, they saw a brilliant white globe. Soon after, a
mysterious being, whom they believed to be the Virgin Mary appeared. "The
wonderful lady looked young. Her dress, white as snow and tied to her neck by a
gold band, wholly covered her body. A white cloak, with a golden edge, covered
her head," Lucia thought of the incident. However, many ufologists now
believe that this was not a visitation by a divine spirit, but rather a
misinterpretation of an extraterrestrial contact.
10-13-1917; Fatima, Portugal
Sr. Alfredo de Fendricas, a photographer for a local
weekly newspaper, took two pictures of a large round luminous flying object
above the heads of thousands of witnesses. The huge brilliant object is seen as
it emerges through the clouds in one photo, and is shown below the rain clouds
in another. Witnesses stated, "A hole opened in the clouds and the object
came through." It made a circle overhead and then began making low passes
over the crowd, so low that they felt the head and ducked in fright. Some said
the heat from the object dried their clothes, wet from the drizzling rain. The
object at times hovered, and it revolved on a vertical axis. Estimates of the
number of witnesses varied from 12,000 to over 60,000 in all.

source then he observed two disc-shaped objects one of them flying toward the
river and the other spinning as it rose. They were two meters in
diameter and one meter and half high. The one which was getting higher changed
direction and swiftly headed north. By this time the witness noticed the
presence of two humanoids inside the object, one of them with long arms, seemed
to be touching something. The other seemed to be looking continuously at the
witness. They wore blue suits, their heads were very large and had some kind of
brown dash on the front. They seemed to be seated. After the observation the
witness felt scared and hypnotized.

MUFON Journal ; FSR ; CEAFI The official inquiry was conducted by the
representative of the Portuguese government, Lt. Henrique da Costa Pessca,
Commander of the Santa Maria Airport facility. The information contained in Lt.
Pessca's report was made available to Wing Intelligence Officer Robert D.
Gammell,1st Lieutenant, USAF, head of the US Intelligence Operations at the
Azores Air Transport Station in Lajes Field. Lt. Gammell prepared and submitted
his report to Air Force Intelligence in accordance with the official UFO
reporting format, AFR 200-2,the procedure used from 1953 through 1966,when it
was revised for use in conjunction with the Condon Committee inquiry. The shape
of the object was reported to be oblong,10 feet in length by 5 feet in height,
and, of a light metallic blue in color. There was a plexiglass-type section in
the forward end, also blue, which contained the "pilot". There were
four pole-like appendages, two at each end, which supported parallel aerials,
and there was an orange light in the nose of the object. The civilian guard,
Mr. Monteiro, was alerted to the presence of the object by a humming or whirring
noise, similar to the sound made by the wind passing over wire cables or
telephone lines. The object approached and landed approximately 30feet from the
guard post, making a slight nose-down approach to land; it levelled off,
hovered a few feet above the The witness was unable to see any landing gear. A
blond-haired man,5 feet,10 inches in height, got out of a door located in the
plexiglass section; he approached the witness, but "attempts to converse
failed". The contact lasted from 2 to 3 minutes and was terminated by the
approach of an automobile. After the pilot reboarded and "belted up",
the UFO ascended almost vertically and then accelerated rapidly into the night
sky, disappearing in the darkness. The weather, according to the witness, was fair,
with visibility unlimited. The official weather conditions for Terceira Island
(142 nautical miles to the northwest of Santa Maria Island) reported the
ceiling at 200 feet, with a one/eighth cloud cover at that altitude. The wind
direction was 230 degrees at 14 knots, at 6,000 feet. There were no balloon
launchings in that area at the time.

Capt. noticed the presence of a round light source with unusual features. All
the pilots were surprised by such brightness, and, the fact that its central
part changed color from green to red. As they kept flying they observed the
object changing its shape from circular to oval. At the same time it lost
brightness and became an object of larger dimension. Then, another circle
appeared to drop two luminous circles of red light. Suddenly all the objects,
the oval one followed by four circles of light, started flying toward the
airplanes and at an incredible speed they passed behind and under them,
confusing the pilots. The Meteorological Observatory of Coimbra registered an
extraordinary magnetic field fluctuation at that time.

A. J. Guedes do Amaral Two objects with a disc shape were observed over the
city. They were grey with darker color on the edges. One of them executed
several movements, stopping and changing directions at high speed. At that
point several people, including teachers from the Secondary School "Escola
Comercial e Industrial de Evora", observed the falling of a strange white
substance, (angel hair). This phenomenon took place over a four hour period.
Samples were taken and examined. It was then possible to observe a strange
being with central round body. Ten arms in perfect symmetry were radiated from
it. This observation happened while making some tests with the substance.
Scientific Conclusions: During the First Iberic UFO Symposium in Oporto,
October 7 & 8, 1978,and for the first time since 1959,the reports made by
the teachers were released and discussed. At the time, and with a total
agreement of the participants on the symposium, the ordinary " Angels Hair
" became named "Fibralvis", a word composed from the Latin
"Fibra" (Fiber) plus "Alvis" (Alvine), then adapted to
Portuguese as "Fibralvina". Material deductions: The substance looks
like flax which is linked by white filaments arranged in a random pattern. The
filaments are from a natural source and not artificial fibers. They form some
kind of felt with wave shaped fibers, sometimes with nodosity. Physical action
is the only way to separate them. Compared with cotton it is much thinner. The
substance is a vegetable product and not animal. Its combustion is fast and
leaves a very tiny residuum of white ashes. The organism found in the
experiments is entirely connected to the UFO phenomenon. This subject was
presented for debate, by Mr. Joaquim Fernandes, Director of CEAFI at the time,
