What Did 100,000 People See In The Sky Above Fátima Portugal In 1917?

What did 100,000 people see in the sky above Fátima Portugal in 1917. We take a look at the Fátima Portugal incident, when thousands of people witnessed something mysterious in the sky.

The story of a famous miracle in Fátima, Portugal, began in May 1917, when three children ages 7, 9, and 10 claimed to have encountered the Virgin Mary on their way home from tending a flock of sheep. The oldest girl was the only one to speak to her, and Mary told the children that she would reappear to them on the thirteenth day of the next six months. She then vanished.

As everyone gazed upward, they saw that a silvery disc had emerged from behind clouds, they experienced what is known as a 'sun miracle'. Soon after rays of light began hitting the onlookers.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!

I'm Portuguese and I've been curious about this story since I heard it years ago. Hope Mary appears again pretty soon. We need her.

this video did not mention that it had been raining heavily before the miracle - see the umbrellas in the photos - and the miracle made everyone perfectly dry.

Maybe one the most witnessed supernatural phenomena in recent human History. A flying glowing disc was seen by thousands of people. Clothes were dried after heavy rain, illnesses were cured.

Our lady told Francisco and Jacinta that they would join her soon and Jacinta would suffer a lot, die alone and then she would get her. The three shepherds would sacrifice themselves for sinners by doing things such as fasting. With 10 years old Francisco died in 1919 catching the Spanish Pneumonia that killed 75m people in 1918. He would just say: “don’t worry I’m joining our lady very soon.” One year after Jacinta entered the hospital with an open wound on her chest, already very weakened after more then a year with the infection. The surgeon Castro Freire operated her by taking her two ribs without anesthetic in an attempt to save her. At that time, there was no general anesthesia and she was just "stunned" with a little ether. In his notes, the doctor wrote: "I was so impressed with this girl, any other child would have screamed, kicked but she would just say “Oh my Jesus. Oh my Our lady.” After eighteen days of agony with 9 years old Jacinta died in the year of 1920. Her body was left intact and smelled like flowers. “The girl smelled like flowers”, as the hospital D.Estefânia director would later say. She had asked not to be buried underground, so she was taken to her family's deposit in Ourém.Three decades later, when the body was moved to the Fatima basilica on May 1st, 1951, it would still remain uncorrupted, other thing that science could never explain.

the date of the miracle was told in advance. it was raining, ground was wet and muddy. after the miracle, the ground suddenly dries up. many events are predicted in Fatima that had happened. Furthermore, years and centuries apart. Blessed mother apparitions are consistent. One thing for sure, i believe, i adore, i hope and i love God.

He left out the part where 100, 000 people kneeled in the mud ( it was raining that day) and after the appearance of Mary, the ground was dry and their clothes were clean. THIS IS FACT!

[dacanale]

You forgot to mention how it had been raining and the people were mired in deep mud. After the vision, the land had dried and the people’s clothes were clean and dry.
Our Lady asked for Russia to be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart so that the Errors of Russia would not spread. This was to be done by the Pope and all the Bishops, which has never been properly done. We still need this consecration!

If it was a massive object such as the sun, how come only people in Fatima saw it and not people at least on one whole face of the Earth? This suggests that it was a much, much smaller object...

[patrickbone]

Divine apparition, or non terrestrial visitors. It’s hard to use scientific knowledge against 100, 000 people’s testimony other than ‘mass illusions and swamp gas’
Great post by recognising a mass witnessed event, often mocked by non Christians.
Thanks x

Back in those days I'd rather lie than tell the truth about what was seen if I was a child. But you cant lie about what they saw . Those kids went through alot of misery to tell the truth.

[dbelebp]

Weird how people rather believe in Aliens than in Mary.

[ellavallthor]

Thanks for Sharing, Always loved this story and a true believer of this historical event!

[robertlehnert]

Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, patron saints of all kids who refuse to smile for photographs

[andreasjacovides]

Keep the faith and you will never be alone .

[piaconcepcionvillavicencio]

This is not one of your horror mysteries this is a miracle I don't understand why you used that music.

[dikamogapi]

UFO? Seems like we've been visited longer than we imagine..

[celiodesolza]

in 2011 when i bought my first computer you can see a video that showed silver discs, a few days later this video had been removed from youtube

[roogerry]

We are close to the end times .... So start believing people!!

[sherrynsnyder]

Most curious about this silver disc. Read a very old book about Fatima inwhich Lucita said that Mary arrived in a silver ball spinning. Isn't that strange?

[Swoiny]

A silver disc was spotted. “UFOS” have been known to be able to bend light with gravity distortion, sorta like a black hole. That’s why the sun danced. The ufo must have put on a spectacle that day for everyone.
