It's interesting that they keep reducing the number of witnesses. I remember many years ago reading it was around 100 thousand. The New York times I believe did a story not too long ago and said it was around 70 thousand. I just read tonight that Reuters reported it around 50 thousand. I think I will go with the original story reported in the Portuguese newspaper back in 1917. They had it around 100 thousand. I am sure the Washington Post will report someday that it was 5 or ten whackos drunk on wine.

hee hee! You've reminded me to check the MSM's "take" on the numbers as they "report the truth" today. Come to think of it - this wasn't on a lot of mainstream internet sites today. I have a book on Fatima and I think the number given was around 70,000. The thing is - some people in the general area (of the countryside) saw it too - but didn't know what it was they were looking at (ex...schooldchildren reported seeing it, ran out to watch - but at the time didn't realize it was connected with events at Fatima)
