According to many witnesses, after a downfall of rain, the dark clouds broke
and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disk in the sky. It was said to be
significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights across the
landscape, the shadows on the landscape, the people, and the surrounding
clouds.
(The key to this description is the dark clouds that separated also were
reflecting multicolored lights which signifies that the object was
actually within the hemisphere of planet Earth, and could not be the actual sun).
The
sun-like object was then reported to have swayed side to side towards the earth
in a zigzag pattern, frightening some of those present who thought it meant the
end of the world. Some witnesses reported that their previously wet clothes
became "instantly dry."
Some
of the witness statements follow below.
-
"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."
― Avelino de Almeida, writing for O Século (Almeida was a writer for
Portugal
's most influential newspaper, which was pro-government and anti-clerical at
the time. Ironically, Almeida's previous articles had been to satirize the
previously reported events at Fátima).
-
"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."
― Dr. Domingos Pinto Coelho, writing for the newspaper Ordem.
-
"…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."
― Reporter for the
Lisbon
newspaper O Dia
-
"The
sun's disc did not remain immobile. This was not the sparkling of a heavenly
body, for it spun round on itself in a mad whirl, when suddenly a clamor was
heard from all the people. The sun, whirling, seemed to loosen itself from
the firmament and advance threateningly upon the earth as if to crush us
with its huge fiery weight. The sensation during those moments was
terrible."
― Dr. Almeida Garrett, Professor of Natural Sciences at
Coimbra
University
.
-
"As
if like a bolt from the blue, the clouds were wrenched apart, and the sun at
its zenith appeared in all its splendor. It began to revolve vertiginously
on its axis, like the most magnificent firewheel that could be imagined,
taking on all the colors of the rainbow and sending forth multi-colored
flashes of light, producing the most astounding effect. This sublime and
incomparable spectacle, which was repeated three distinct times, lasted for
about ten minutes. The immense multitude, overcome by the evidence of such a
tremendous prodigy, threw themselves on their knees."
― Dr. Formigão, a professor at the seminary at
Santarem
, and a priest.
-
"I
feel incapable of describing what I saw. I looked fixedly at the sun, which
seemed pale and did not hurt my eyes. Looking like a ball of snow, revolving
on itself, it suddenly seemed to come down in a zig-zag, menacing the earth.
Terrified, I ran and hid myself among the people, who were weeping and
expecting the end of the world at any moment."
― Rev. Joaquim Lourenço, describing his boyhood experience in
Alburitel, eighteen kilometers from
Fatima
.
In
1917, World War One was the major global issue. Not UFOs! It would take nearly
30 years before the
Roswell
event made U.F.O. believers out of a community.
The
residents of
Portugal
that witnessed the event would only have been able to describe the event as a
religious miracle, where today, 100,000 people witnessing this silver disc
zig-zagging would identify this as an unidentified flying object.
 Therefore,
the miracle of the dancing sun in
Fatima
is actually a miracle in the religious sense, and a miracle in the scientific
sense.
The
religious miracle is that three little girls would bring tens of thousands of
adults to witness a sky event beyond comprehension, just as the three little
girls predicted.
This alone is one mind altering fact;
three little girls leading tens of thousands of adults and news writers to
witness a modern day miracle in the sky, on the day they predicted.
Think on this one for a moment.
The
scientific miracle comes in the fact no technology existed to provide this kind
of aeronautic experience to the masses. The Wright Brothers had only
accomplished basic glider powered flight a decade earlier.
The
FACT that the mass sighting in
Portugal
was reported even by the skeptics as a true event, that the
Vatican
approved the event as a religious miracle and almost 100,000 people witnessed
this event, makes this event an undisputable “miracle”.
Miracles
have slapped people across the face and later become explained as something
ordinary. Right now, anything extraordinary or miraculous becomes explained by
another skeptic who did not personally experience it.
Our
real miracle comes at the end when we leave our body, then and only then will
the miracles of this universe be recognized as such, without an idiot or a
group of idiots trying to explain them away and convince us otherwise.
