Celestial Secrets: The Hidden History of the Fatima Cover-Up
A re-interpretation of the 1917 Fatima events by Lucia dos Santos, Jacinta Marto, and Francisco Marto is offered by Joaquim Fernandes and Fina D’Armada as a UFO phenomenon featuring disc-shaped craft and beings such as a grey-eyed figure and a blond, blue-eyed girl, arguing that Jesuit authorities covered up Marian explanations to advance political aims— including reviving Christian influence in Russia and fueling Fatima tourism— while proposing inter-dimensional or extraterrestrial origins with possibilities like holographic projections, noting the Catholic Church’s initial shock and resistance to records, the later lives of Lucia and the beatifications of Francisco and Jacinta, and Fatima’s enduring religious and political significance in Portugal, Spain, and the Vatican, as Celestial Secrets (2006) deepens the inquiry yet remains cautious about what “extraterrestrial” may entail and invites reflection on how memory and myth shift with culture and technology.
