*** A Report from Ana Luisa Cid ***

According to a news item published on August 21 2007 by the El Mañana de Valles newspaper, two unidentified flying objects allegedly fell in Valles and Xilitla (San Luis Potosi).

The first of them was reported on the evening of Sunday, August 19 and the second during early morning hours of Monday the 20th.

Reporters Antonio Martínez and Maribor Villalobos state that the initial report was received by Jose Angel Avalos, an officer on duty at the Centro de Control y Comando (C4) through the 066 call line. This report was from Rubén Velázquez, who stated that a silver object measuring 20 cm long had fallen from the sky in a plot of land of the San Miguel collective farm.

Another witness, high school student Oscar Gonzalez Mar, a resident of the El Sidral collective farm, told the "El Mañana" newsroom that he had seen a shining object streaming across the skies toward the Gulf of Mexico between 8 and 9 p.m. on August 19 before he lost it from sight, not knowing whether the object crashed or not.

Nearly two and a half hours after the San Miguel incident, Mrs. Saturnina Castillo reported from Xilitla that an object resembling a fireball had impacted a tree in a property located near the "Montoya" metal shop, owned by her husband Juan Montoya, adding that the tree had caught fire.

Joaquín Hernández was a direct witness to the sighting. He and his family prepare zacahuil and live next to where the object hit the ground. In fact, Hernández was preparing the zacahuil batter and he saw the "fireball" as it came down over the tree. Afraid that no one would believe him, he screamed for Juan Montoya and his wife to witness the tree bough catching fire.

He added that it was a highly unusual thing to see, as there was no thunder or storm activity that could lead anyone to think it had been a stroke of lightning.

The incident was reported to the Municipal Civil Protection unit, but no investigation was conducted.

Celestial Secrets: The Hidden History of the Fatima Cover-Up

- Joaquim Fernandes

Did the Jesuits conceal evidence of alien contact at Fátima? The Fátima incident was the most exceptional religious event of the 20th century. In 1917, three Portuguese children encountered a radiant woman, who told them three secrets about the fate of the Earth. During 'The Miracle of the Sun,' the solar orb was seen to dance in the sky by thousands of awestruck onlookers who flocked to Fátima. The apparitions were presumed to be a case of divine intervention in human affairs, a sign from Heaven that the world war then raging in Europe would soon come to an end. A shrine sprang up at Fátima that drew millions of believers, and a myth grew that the Fátima prophecies would one day be fulfilled as a testament of faith in a secular age. In 1978, Portuguese historians Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d'Armada were given unprecedented access to the original records of the Fátima incident, which had been held secretly by the Church in archives located at the Sanctuary of Fátima since 1917. In Heavenly Lights - a work hailed by the Fortean Times (UK) as 'priceless' - Fernandes and d'Armada explored the many intriguing linkages they discovered in the secret archives between the apparitions of Fátima and the worldwide UFO phenomenon. Here, for the first time, they tell the esoteric history of the 'cover story' concocted by the Church in 1941, which has both shaped our modern view of the Fátima incident and obscured its true significance as the first major close encounter case of the 20th century. At the heart of the matter, they reveal, lies a conspiracy by the Jesuits to suppress the fact that the entities encountered by the children at Fátima were not deities descending from Heaven but rather alien beings visiting our planet from 'elsewhere' in the vast Cosmos.
