FATIMA 1917: Lucia Called To The Crowd
To Look At The Sun
During 2009, WGFT News has featured many
UFO sighting reports of lights which look like Fire-Balls (see:
wheels.. turning.. dancing), and which at times are
also observed to have the shape of classic 'disc' craft, all
over the United Kingdom. On the 13th October, 1917, the Sun (or
a Craft, somewhere above the Earth's surface, in line with the
Sun?) appeared to many thousands of people in Portugal, to
'rotate like a fire-wheel'.
during the reputed "Dance of the Sun" at Fatima,
Portugal, on Saturday, 13th October 1917
From Wikipedia: 'Miracle of the Sun' ...
As early as July 1917 it was
claimed that the Virgin Mary had promised a miracle for
the last of her apparitions on 13th October, so that all would
believe. What transpired became known as "Miracle of the Sun".
A crowd believed to be approximately 70,000 in number, including
newspaper reporters and photographers, gathered at the Cova da
Iria. The incessant rain had finally ceased and a thin layer of
clouds cloaked the silver disc of the Sun such that it could be
looked upon without hurting the eyes.
Lucia called out to the crowd to look
at the Sun.
Sometime while Lucia was pointing towards
the Sun and claiming to have visions of various religious
figures in the sky, it is believed that the Sun appeared to
change colors, and to rotate like a fire-wheel.
For some the Sun appeared to fall from the sky before
retreating, for others it zigzagged. The phenomenon is claimed
to have been witnessed by most people in the crowd as well as
people many miles away.
Columnist Avelino de Almeida reported the
"Before the astonished eyes of the
crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bare-headed,
eagerly searching the sky, the Sun trembled, made sudden
incredible movements outside all cosmic laws - the Sun 'danced'
according to the typical expression of the people."
Dr. Domingos Pinto Coelho, writing for the
newspaper Ordem reported:
"The Sun, at one moment surrounded with
scarlet flame, at another aureoled in yellow and deep purple,
seemed to be in an exceeding fast and whirling movement, at
times appearing to be loosened from the sky and to be
approaching the Earth, strongly radiating heat."
The reporter for the Lisbon daily, O Dia,
reported the following:
"...the silver Sun, enveloped in the
same gauzy grey light, was seen to whirl and turn in the circle
of broken clouds... The light turned a beautiful blue, as if it
had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and
spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched
hands... people wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the
presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like
hours, so vivid were they."
No movement or other phenomenon of the Sun was registered by
scientists at the time. According to contemporary reports from
poet Afonso Lopes Vieira and schoolteacher Delfina Lopes with
her students and other witnesses in the town of Alburita, the
solar phenomena were visible from up to forty kilometres away.
Despite these assertions, not all
witnesses reported seeing the Sun "dance". Some people only saw
the radiant colors, and others, including some believers, saw
nothing at all.
Miracle of the Sun:
"The sun appeared with its
circumference well defined. It came down as if to the
height of the clouds and began to whirl giddily upon
itself like a captive ball of fire. With some
interruptions, this lasted about eight minutes. The
atmosphere darkened and the features of each became
yellow. Everyone knelt even in the mud."
