Vallée's ideas about Miracle at Fatima and Marian apparitions are that they are a class of UFO encounters. Vallée is one of the first people to speculate publicly about the possibility that the " solar dance" at Fatima was a UFO. Vallée has also speculated that UFO activity may have caused other religious apparitions, including Our Lady of Lourdes and the revelations of Joseph Smith.

This book doesn't exactly dwell upon what it would mean for the phenomena to have been the same over millennia, but the mere fact that this book considers it is important enough. Throughout Vallée's career he did delve deeper into the idea and I truly look forward to reading more about it. For a beginning book, however, this is a fascinating one. If possible, I recommend getting a later addition of it as the introduction was a great read that truly highlights why this book is important and deserves to still be read.

Regardless of how that turns out, this shows that it’s older than the 40s at the advent of the atomic age and nuclear power fear-mongering.
