What happened at Fatima, Portugal between May & October 1917? Six Mary appearances?

I did some reading about both UFOs and apparitions of Mary some years ago, read a book about the apparition at Medjugorje, only know a little about Fatima.Ufologist Jacques Vallee wrote a book about UFOs that argues against the ET idea and describes them as "spiritual phenomena" intended to deceive. He compares them to fairies and leprechauns and other such figures down through history, saying their behavior is much more like those phenomena, appearing and disappearing and that sort of thing, than like anything from another planet, or the physical universe. I was a fairly new Christian at the time and thought his analysis fascinating. He's not a believer, just made comparisons with those folklore tales and found them similar.So I think the comparison between UFOs and Marian apparitions is right on. I think they are the same phenomena, something conjured up by the demons or fallen angels to deceive the human race. I don't know about the "miracles" but demons can do some illusions and even "manifest" some objects, so I've heard.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
