FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SUBJECT: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT FÁTIMA?

Just who was the brilliant entity that appeared to three young children at Fátima in 1917? Was she the Virgin Mary, as the Catholic Church would have us believe, 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? Believers and skeptics have long pondered the identity of Our Lady of Fátima.

Now, in a newly published book entitled Fátima Revisited: The Apparition Phenomenon
in Ufology, Psychology and Science (Anomalist Books, 2008), an international panel of
leading scholars subjects the legendary apparitions to the scrutiny of modern scientic
analysis; explores the connections between contact with apparitions, angels, and aliens; and
proposes a new paradigm for such unexplained phenomena.

This is the third volume of the acclaimed Fátima Trilogy, which includes the denitive histories
of the Fátima case entitled Heavenly Lights (Anomalist Books, 2007) and Celestial
Secrets (Anomalist Books, 2007). The Fátima Trilogy grew from an exchange of emails
between a Portuguese researcher and an American journalist into a multidisciplinary
collaboration involving 35 individuals from 10 countries.
ANDREW D. BASIAGO, who led efforts in the U.S. to bring the trilogy into English, observed:
"In The Fátima Trilogy, the Fátima Incident of 1917 is forever redened, from the most famous
religious event of the 20th century to its rst major close encounter case."

The papers gathered in this volume have appeared in both peer-reviewed journals and
original works inspired by the intense and productive process of "brainstorming" about the
"visionary" phenomena of Fátima in 1917 that has taken place under the aegis of the
Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network (Project MARIAN), which
is coordinated by the Center for Transdisciplinary Studies in Consciousness (CTEC) at the
University Fernando Pessoa, in Porto, Portugal. This international project seeks to create a
forum in which the great mysteries of human existence might be solved.
This groundbreaking anthology was compiled by Portuguese researchers FERNANDO
FERNANDES, JOAQUIM FERNANDES and RAUL BERENGUEL, and edited and translated
by American writers ANDREW D. BASIAGO and EVA M. THOMPSON.Press
