X, Michael. The World Secret of Fatima. Futura Press. [Los Angeles]. 1962.

First or early printing of retelling and interpretation of 1917 Marian Apparition at Fatima, Portugal by UFO contactee and New Age author Michael X Barton, who claimed to have been contacted by an ascended master in 1940 and to have made mental contact with Venusians at Giant Rock near Joshua Tree in 1955. The Fatima Apparitions have long held fascination for UFO enthusiasts due to the description of the Virgin Mary as a glowing figure as well as the widely witnessed aerial event known as the “Miracle of the Sun”.
