The Fatima Trilogy

"These books provide a new paradigm for the Fatima events. The evidence presented is provocative and compelling."
– Bill Chalker,
The Ufologist

"Taken together, the trilogy represents a formidable research enterprise which casts a flood of light on one of the most enigmatic events of recent times."  –Hilary Evans, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research




Volume I

A meticulous synthesis of history, science, and Ufology, Heavenly Lights establishes that the famed Fátima Incident of 1917 did not involve "Marian apparitions" - as is conventionally believed - but a series of close encounters with alien beings. The first history of the Fátima incident to be written by Portuguese historians based on the original documents of the case held in secrecy by the Catholic Church since the time of the apparitions, Heavenly Lights subjects all of the pertinent facts of the Fátima case to a sweeping evidentiary analysis that is at once thorough and fascinating. When it was fi rst published in Portugal in 1995, the Jornal de Notícias heralded this work as "a literary success without precedent."

Priceless
"[One] cannot fault [the authors’] careful deconstruction of fi rst-hand accounts... This study deserves to be read by all perceptual and social psychologists and historians, indeed, by anyone interested in primary documentation of a major anomalous event... Heavenly Lights is priceless, and Fernandes and d’Armada should be congratulated on their important contribution to understanding what goes on in the minds of those undergoing visionary experiences."

Volume 2

In 1917, three Portuguese children encountered a radiant woman who told them three secrets about the fate of the Earth. The apparitions of Fátima became a legend. In 1978, historians Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d' Armada were given access to the original records of the Fátima incident that had been kept at the Sanctuary of Fátima since 1917. The celestial secrets they found within held what religion could not admit and what science could not explain. Here, for the first time, they tell the history of the 1941 "cover story" by the Church that has both shaped our modern view of the Fátima incident and obscured its true significance as the first major close encounter case of the 20th century

A Pleasure to Read
"The trilogy argues, quite convincingly, that the famous Fátima incident of 1917 ... did not actually involve a series of Marian apparitions (as is commonly accepted) but may in fact have been a sequence of extra-terrestrial encounters of a most unusual nature...Celestial Secrets...explores the supposed church 'cover-up' surrounding the matter, which the authors claim has both influenced the modern interpretation of the Fátima incident and concealed what may very likely be one of the first recorded cases of a 20th century alien encounter...The book left me convinced that indeed a church cover-up had occurred...the subject and the recorded events make for compelling reading in whatever context one wishes to interpret them."

Volume 3

Believers and skeptics have long pondered the identity of Our Lady of Fátima, the brilliant entity who appeared above Fátima. 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 Fátima Revisited, an international panel of top scholars subjects the legendary apparitions of Fátima 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  is the result of a transdisciplinary study by the Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network (Project MARIAN) at the University Fernando Pessoa in Porto, Portugal.
