UFO Researcher Says The Vatican Is Hiding The Truth About A Sighting

Secretive church officials have remained silent for decades about the Vatican’s knowledge of UFOs, according to critics who hope that the next pope will finally bring the truth to light.

British UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee points toward the longstanding allegation that the church has not fully revealed the Third Secret of Fatima — a message purportedly conveyed by an otherworldly vision to three children in Portugal in 1917.

The church insists it is not withholding any information about the Fatima prophecies, which the faithful believe were delivered by Mary, the mother of Jesus.

However, Lee and others believe the mysterious incident was actually a UFO sighting viewed through religious eyes.

Lee — who has drawn on the extensive research of Vatican scholar Rob Howells — explains, “What the children saw and described — an intense shining object, sudden weather changes, and a radiant ‘being’ who communicated messages — fits the classic pattern of close encounters.

“This was not the Virgin Mary. This was a nonhuman intelligence trying to communicate with us. And the Vatican knows it.”

Now, Lee is urging Pope Francis’ successor to adopt a policy of complete transparency — especially when it comes to the potential existence of alien life.

He remarks, “If the church is truly committed to spiritual truth and human enlightenment, then it must no longer suppress information that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of our place in the cosmos.”
