I’d like to see scientific theories on the prophesy of Russia that was made just after that sign? On the same day? [In 1917, when Russia was a war-torn mess, humiliated by the Germans.]
Baleva Sacessfa of San Clemente, California, reported seeing Elvis at this sidewalk café on March 13, 2001. Sacessfa said she was driving past the café, taking her cousin, Honey Rivera, for her colonoscopic exam when she spotted Elvis sitting at the table at the far left rear in this picture. She slowed the car and her cousin also got a look at Elvis. Sacessfa and Rivera said Elvis was eating something that looked fried and did not look up as they drove past. At the next intersection, Sacessfa circled the block to come back by the café on the side of the street where Elvis was, but when she drove by in that direction, he was no longer at the table.

Roper Poll claimed that nearly four million Americans have had certain “indicator” experiences and therefore had probably been abducted by aliens.
Theories
How can we explain these experiences? Some abductees recall their experiences spontaneously, but some only “remember” in therapy, support groups, or under hypnosis. We know that memories can be changed and even completely created with hypnosis (Laurence, et al. 1986), peer pressure, and repeated questioning (Loftus 1993). Are “memories” of abduction created this way? Most of Wright’s ninety-five abductees were hypnotized and/or interviewed many times. Hopkins is well known for his hypnotic techniques for eliciting abduction reports, and Mack also uses hypnosis. However, there are many reports of conscious recall of abduction without hypnosis or multiple interviews, and the significance of the role of false memory is still not clear.
Another theory is that abductees are mentally ill.

Sainthood for her!
A few years ago, the supposed image of Jesus Christ on a tortilla made the news—which is curious, since the Bible provides no description as to what Jesus looked like.
I know you think you are being clever but you are not.
The Shroud of Turin has His perfect likeness! Of course, if the shroud is real, then St. Francis and Padre Pio were frauds. The Shroud shows nails through the wrists, while St. Francis and Pio both had stigmata of the palms.
Did anyone consider the possibility of the Fatima “miracle” being a supernatural demonic deception?
The aliens always wipe your memory after an abduction. One of the key "indicators" is not remembering the event. Therefore, anyone who doesn't remember being abducted by aliens probably has been. Those people who say they were abducted are just saying to fit in.
In the fifties we were told to pray to Our Lady of Fatima for the conversion of Russia.
Has anyone ever explained the polluted water of Lourdes not making anyone ill?
You're right of cours. I know for a fact that I have never been abducted, so I absolutely have been.
They're ill when they get there. How could you tell? Also, everyone eventually dies after visiting Lourdes. How do you explain that?
Everyone eventually dies. Yes. I’ve been to Lourdes twice and Fatima twice. I’m still alive. I drank the polluted water at Lourdes. I didn’t get sick from the water.
Very clever!
It would also prove that the sun didn't dance, it was just an optical illusion (or a 'mass vision' if that's what you'd prefer to believe).
ACTUALLY,
The mentally ill accusation has been emphatically proven false.
On average, as a group, the populace of studied abductees is slightly but measurably mentally healthier than the average population.
There IS a bit of evidence in them of some PTSD . . . as well there would be from an abduction experience.
The better known researchers are scrupulous in avoiding leading the abductees with their questions whether in hypnosis, or not.
‘ET’s’
are evidently quite . . . beyond the limits of time . . . as we know it . . . and could well have made such a prediction . . . particularly in cahoots with hell.
