This whole thing got me thinking about something.. This image seems to be slightly above the tree levels which means it wasnt that high up the sky. If anything it looks like if you would have walked maybe around 100 ft you would have actually came face to face with this so called apparition. Im almost hoping that if this happens again (which btw i heard the next one will be in Brazil) that someone actually runs toward it and see what happens. And hope someone does shoot you or something.

I'm another who can't see the virgin on the vid (unless that gal over to the right is named Mary). But I remember a quote by author Robert Anton Wilson who, talking about the brain's ability to see patterns, said something like "If you can't see the Virgin Mary within 10 feet of you then you're not doing it right".

For those of you who want more proof of Mary, here is some more footage of a different event in Egypt way back in 1968 - 1970. This was such a profound event that the government of Egypt (a Muslim nation once again) released the following official statement:
Report of General Information and Complaints Department, Cairo, Egypt, 1968
"Official investigations have been carried out with the result that it has been considered an undeniable fact that the Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing on Zeitoun Church in a clear and bright luminous body seen by all present in front of the church, whether Christians or Moslems."
Link to the site for more info and pics if anyone is interested:

And here is me using paint to show those that can't see the overall shape which shows it is a woman.

That plus the fact that we can even see a halo around her head, her right foot is slightly higher than her left foot as if hovering or flying, and her right leg seems to be bent slightly at the knee.
Let's see, how many women are known for having a halo, having a cape, wearing white and blue/purple, plus is able to hover or fly? Not even wonder woman
edit on 28-4-2011 by ElectricUniverse because: errors.
Okay to show how absolutely absurd this is, this is my take on what it is. Here is obvious proof that the image in the sun is actually a flying banana.
So here is the original photo without showing you the proper outlining of said banana plane.
Here is the enhanced version for those who can't see the overall shape of the flying banana.
Now see everyone, look how easy that was to turn a blob into whatever I wanted it to be. Please just take a step back and think about things. I can understand that waiting on the return of the messiah is burnt into your hopes and beliefs, but you HAVE GOT TO BE a little bit more selective next time.

Did not something like this happen in Fatima in Portugal around 1917.
Witnessed by thousands, the Sun moved around the sky and The Virgin Mary appeared in the centre to the awe of the crowd.
This mass event has happened before.
According to the very words of the Reverend General Vicar of Leiria, who was one of the witnesses, the lady came in an 'aeroplane of light,' an 'immense globe, flying westwards, at moderate speed. It irradiated 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.
Among the crowd was Professor Almeida Garrett, of Coimbra University, a scientist, who described the phenomena 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 looked like a disk, of a very definite contour. It was not dazzling. I don't think that it could be compared to a dull silver disk, 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 poetry. My eyes have seen it. This clear-shaped disk suddenly began turning. It rotated with increasing speed. Suddenly, the crowd began crying with anguish. The sun (disk?), revolving all the time, began falling toward the earth, reddish and bloody, threatening to crush everyone under its fiery weight.

Indeed, and the event was also higly "UFO-like".
For instance the way Virgin Mary arrived;
According to the very words of the Reverend General Vicar of Leiria, who was one of the witnesses, the lady came in an 'aeroplane of light,' an 'immense globe, flying westwards, at moderate speed. It irradiated 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.
And;
Among the crowd was Professor Almeida Garrett, of Coimbra University, a scientist, who described the phenomena in the following terms: 'It was raining hard, and the rain trickled down everyone's clothes.

There are many other "Anomalies" described apart from those above, such as several disks being seen flying around in the skies, and a group of beings looking down from one of them, and so on.
The added fact that the events were witnessed by a number of between 50 000-70 000 people, gives the whole case irrefutable weight.

Yes, you are indeed correct, there have been many many mass sightings of Mary, and as I have mentioned - I have been at one of them myself. Mary appearing is not the only phenomena that happens and she is not the only person who appears - sometimes angels will too.
I think I am going to open another thread to expand on this one and look at it in the wider context of Marian apparitions, as there is too much evidence out there to dismiss these as pure codswallop - even despite my obvious bias having witnessed myself. I will be listing all of the valid apparitions since Lourdes in France and I will also provide a list of Marian phenomena that have been discredited by the church. Yes, there have naturally been fakies as you would expect...
I too would love more understanding on what causes them and have often wondered about the alien connection despite the fact it is counter intuitive to Christianity.
