We really need to be more open-minded now and discuss some alternative theories on this topic. In my view, they are worth exploring and even though you've already found your truth, I'm still searching for it.
The fact that these phenomena of an electromagnetic origin were produced several times "on command", at the hour and on the day previously announced, leads one to think that their source was artificial. The Croatian Physicist Nikola Tesla, who had emigrated to the United States in 1884, had put forward the principle of radar as early as 1900 and the first prototype, called a telemobiloscope, was made in 1904 with the purpose of preventing collisions between ships. Waves were emitted at a frequency of 650 MHz and could carry for more than 6 kilometres. It is likely that the American military had noticed soon enough that radar emissions were capable, at certain frequencies, of provoking unexpected sensations in a subject exposed to them. On the other hand, one may suppose that the European armed forces were too busy with the 1914-18 War to indulge in this Machiavellian intrigue at Fatima, and that it was rather the American military (who entered the war against Germany on the 2nd April 1917) who were behind it, following on from the sightings of 1896-7 and in concert with the conservative forces in Portugal who were struggling against the emergence of a violently anticlerical republic.
The weakness of the book is that the authors do not consider that their own ufological context and re-examination of the case is as proscriptive as that of the Jesuits'.
Instead of considering the psychological factors that conditioned the children and Lucia in adulthood, they prefer to speculate that there was an Operation Fatima by intelligences using spacecraft and holographic projectors. They say, "Through illusions and projections, mostly hidden within the full amplitude of the electromagnetic spectrum -- they appear to be able to control us -- and through us, our systems of belief."
In response to the continuing interest in the "third secret" given to the three shepherd children, which is rumored to have predicted the end of the Catholic church and/or the world, the Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone -- the Pope's second-in-command -- has declared that it is "pure fantasy."
Was the being of light the Virgin Mary as advocated by the Church?
Or was she an alien being, from another planet, offering a message of peace?
Or could the apparitions resulted from Satan attempting to confuse an already war weary world public, as has been suggested by some?
Or was she perhaps from another dimension or time?
There has been a growing consensus among UFO researchers that the topic involves much more than simple flying machines from outer space.
Sightings, contacts, and abductions seem to be interconnected, and involve matters previously thought to be the province of anthropology, parapsychology, and even religion. For many, this is a troubling thought.
So, the struggle between science and religion, belief and skepticism, has continued unabated into the 21st century, with neither side conceding defeat.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of people in the world who have heard of the Fatima Incident of 1917 remain blissfully ignorant of the true facts of this signal case in the field of Ufology.
This book however may change all that. In Celestial Secrets..., the hidden history of Fatima becomes a lot less hidden.
For the true believer and the skeptic alike -- Celestial Secrets provides the BEST researched, the most DETAILED, and the most COMPREHENSIVE look at the Fatima apparitions EVER PUBLISHED.
The reader will learn how the Society of Jesus suppressed the TRUE facts of Fatima; how the Jesuits portrayed the "pretty little lady" described by the young shepherds as the Virgin Mary; and how they manipulated the testimony of direct participants to support their suppositions. FATIMA, IT SEEMS, WAS AN EARLY EPISODE IN THE COSMIC WATERGATE.
... On its pages, the enduring mystery of Fatima continues to captivate us not because its explanation is easy and lies in the Scriptures, but because its explanation is difficult and lies in the stars.
The Bible teaches us that Jesus has already made all the reparations necessary; that we are reborn when we place our trust in Him and Him alone, and that...
"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." [John 14:16]
The Bible warns us repeatedly that we will see strange sights in the heavens, false prophets, counterfeit miracles, and that "even the very elect might be deceived." Jesus Christ is the only Savior. The Lord Jesus died for the sins of man, as the only acceptable sacrifice. According to Marian apparitions, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the bridge between God and man. This is "another gospel" of which we are warned in the Scriptures.
Benedict XVI invited “men of every nation and culture” to welcome “this message of light and hope”: “They receive it from the hands of Mary, Mother of all humanity.”
A number of articles are beginning to appear on the Internet suggesting that the current Islamic-Pope Benedict controversy may soon be resolved by a coming peace plan that will be initiated by the Roman Catholic Mary – the Queen of Peace. This plan would be mutually agreeable to Rome and Islam.

"[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart ... the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request." — G.H.

Lord Sananda is the Eternal Divine Son of Mother/Father Creator Source appointed to bring “Christ Consciousness” or Sonship” to the Children of God here on Earth. Known as Jesus the Christ during his mission 2000 years ago, He is known as Sananda in the Higher Dimensions and those of the Ashtar Command.

I don't think that the military possibility is a strong one, Portugal did not had the type of connection to the US as it had some years after, and, as posted from that other site, the US entered WWI in April 1917, so they were occupied with a war at the time of the apparitions.
The history (and geology, that area has many natural caves and is mostly limestone) are always interesting subjects when we want to know about the place, not only about the events.
As usual, I will help in anything that I can, especially translations, I am getting used to it.
PS: in case anyone wants to know, and to make things clear, I am an atheist.
many of these apparitions are associated with UFO phenomena which I also believe to be demonic manifestations
To associate these false apparitional tricksters with UFO sightings makes my case that both manifestations are demonic delusions to lead people from the truth.
Some evangelicals claim that the apparitions at Fatima were all about Mary worship.
The Evangelical healing minister Benny Hinn endorsed the divine healing power of the Marian shrines at Lourdes and Fatima on national TV.

hi again Palasheea,
it does seem to be true that most other forms of Christianity do not endorse or agree with the Catholic Church"s adoption of the Mary apparitions.

Lol, that's not saying much because the overwhelming majority of Christians throughout the world are Catholic and you better believe it that they are believers of these Marian appartions!
[edit on 2-2-2008 by Palasheea]
lol, thats not saying much
Oh, so you're not Catholic?
Lol, I kinda figured that.

The UFO phenomenon started receiving world wide attention in the 50's and has been increasing ever since. The miracle of the sun occurred in 1917. Therefore, many people would have still been alive out of the 70,000 original witnesses. It would seem many witnesses would have been aware of the "silver discs" and "flying saucers" descriptions of UFOs circulating even if they were only simple country folks.
So, my question is how long ago did people start speculating the miracle of the sun and a silver disc was actually a UFO? Recently? Decades ago and we are only now hearing about it? Did any of the original eye witnesses ever make the connection of it possibly being a UFO? That would be important.
I have a hard time swallowing the "Virgin Apparition" phenomenon so I don't care either way but this makes me wonder.

According to many witness statements, after a downfall of rain, the clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disk in the sky
"The sun's disc did not remain immobile.
