In reference to my last post. I should have explained that the LADY OF THE OLIVES is in reference to FATIMA. The incident in FATIMA, PORTUGAL in which 3 children were visited by an entity over a tree who gave them 3 prophecies. I am sure you are familiar with that. The last prophecy was supposedly given to Pope John Paul the 2nd. Well, the original description of the LADY OF FATIMA was not anything closely resembling what we see today in religious iconography. Infact, as I stated in my previous post, she resembles the FLATWOODS monster…and the WANDIJA creatures of old ABORIGINAL lore. The Lady of the Olives was supposedly an entity with large dark eyes, and resembled a 12 year old girl, she was projected by a beam of light, emitted from a cloud. The artist redering based on the original description is very reminiscent of the flatwoods monster. Recently a book was written about it by Joaquim Fernandes & Fina d’Armada.

I don’t know what you are referring to. The only info on “Lady of the Olives” that I could find was “By virtue of the medal of Our Lady of Olives — so goes the tradition — the persons who carry it are preserved from lightning wherever they be during a storm. But there is a second privilege related to the medal of Our Lady of Olives. It protects women who are about to become mothers and assists them in the hour of birth.”

There was no lightning or pregnant women about during the Flatwoods incident, as far as I know. You must be more clear.

Thanks for locating that report. Like mant UFO reports, it seems that the case becomes more elaborate and detailed as we look closer. I particularly like the detail of the “sulfurous smoke.” This is not an isolated case of a “brimstone” odor in association with an entity event. Many books, including those of Keel and Jim Brandon discuss this aspect of the phenomenon. Hellfire from Satan, or our attempts to assign an identity to the unexplained?

Anyway, moving swiftly on, I found this article in the Magonia UFO database. It includes details of the take-off of one of the glowing spheres.

Sep. 13, 1952 Frametown (West Virginia). Mr. and Mrs. George Snitowski and their little girl suddenly found their car stalled, and an unpleasant smell (ether mixed with sulphurous smoke) filled the air. Mr. Snitowski thought a chemical plant might be burning in the area and walked toward a strong light visible in the woods, in spite of the nauseous smell. Coming near it, he felt pricklings throughout his body, had to stop, lost his balance several times as he returned to the car, where he found his wife terrified, pointing to a giant creature (3 m tall), human-shaped, 10 m away. They locked the car as “it” inspected the vehicle, glided away and went into the woods. Soon afterward, the sphere of light was observed to rise gradually, to swing like a pendulum, and to leave a luminous trail. (Paul Lieb)

I’m just glad Nickells is around to swab out our throats or we’d strangle on our own spit, you know?
