Fátima Revisited: The Apparition Phenomenon In Ufology, Psychology, and Science
May 2008, Anomalist Books

Is it possible that religious apparitions are really visitations of beings from other planets?

The third book in the "Fátima Trilogy", Fátima Revisited addresses this question. This book is a collection of chapters contributed by experts in the fields of Ufology, Psychology, and Science. Dr. Blinston is a contributor to this book.

From the publisher's website:

"The Fátima Incident of 1917 was a critical event in the history of the paranormal. Believers and skeptics have long pondered the identity of Our Lady of Fátima, the brilliant entity who appeared above Fãtima. Was she the Virgin Mary, sharing divine secrets with believers? Was she an angel, bringing a message of peace to a world at war? Or was she an alien being, inspiring humanity to look up and contemplate the mystery of the Cosmos? Now, in Fátima Revisited, an international panel of top scholars subjects the legendary apparitions of Fátima - widely regarded as a sacred religious event - to the scrutiny of modern scientific analysis; explores the connections between encounters with apparitions, angels, and aliens; and proposes a new paradigm for such unexplained phenomena. This third volume in the acclaimed trilogy, which includes the definitive histories of the Fãtima case entitled Heavenly Lights and Celestial Secrets, is the result of a transdisciplinary study by the Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network (Project MARIAN) at the University Fernando Pessoa in Porto, Portugal."
