The Third Secret

Two secrets of Fátima were published. The third was sealed until 2000 — and few believe that's all of it.

1917: three shepherd children, monthly apparitions, and on October 13 the 'Miracle of the Sun' — a crowd of tens of thousands, believers and hostile journalists alike, reported the sun dancing. Two secrets were published in 1941; the third was sealed with instructions for 1960, then held until 2000, when Rome released a vision of a martyred bishop. Archbishop Loris Capovilla and others hinted at an unpublished annex; Rome denies it. The file connects Vatican secrecy, mass-witness phenomena (the sun event remains the largest simultaneous anomaly report in modern history), and the interdimensional reading — Vallée files Fatima with the saucers.
