English

Having arrived at Fatima I look for people I know, to exchange impressions. They all tell me the same thing, they all saw... But saw what?... I ask them: "We saw the sun, covered as if by a silver plate, in constant rotating movement, giving off red, yellow and purple rays, and seeming to come loose from the sky and approach the earth."

Português (original)

Chegada á Fatima procuro ver pessôas conhecidas, para trocar impressões. Todos me dizem o mesmo, todos viram... Mas viram o quê?... lhes pergunto: "Vimos o sol, coberto como que por uma chapa de prata, n'um constante movimento de rotação, despedindo raios vermelhos, amarelos, roxos, e parecendo desprender-se do Céu e aproximar-se da terra."
