A New Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Africa? Or … Something Else?

Kindly watch this video all the way to the end. Something striking is happening here and I will admit that (assuming the video isn’t a hoax along the lines of the countless bogus UFO videos out there) whatever it is looks very much like the traditional Catholic image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It appears to have been recorded with a smartphone. There is no descriptive information associated with the video except for that it is purported to have been taken in April of this year somewhere in “Africa.” Not much to go on.

Whoever posted this on Youtube asks whether it’s really Our Lady appearing or a technology-driven light show courtesy of “Project Bluebeam” — something that I’d never known anything about till I Googled it just now. It’s possible, too, if this isn’t a hoax, that a demonic spirit could be masquerading as the Blessed Virgin Mary (Galatians 1:8).

The people are quite agitated by whatever it is they are seeing in the sky. Occasionally, their excitement spikes with startled cries and what sound to me like prayers being shouted. They are obviously seeing something unusual and startling. What do you think it is? Do any of you have any info on where and when this happened? Is it a hoax? Is it possibly an actual apparition captured on a smart phone in a way similar to how images of the Miracle of the Sun during Our Lady’s apparition in Fatima, Portugal, in October, 1917, were photographed?

I keep wondering how anybody know what Mary looks like...

There's an answer for that:

....In the new book "Medjugorje - 30 years of a phenomenon" authors Marijan Sivric and Ivo Scepanovic have spoken to the schoolchildren - now adults - who said they are surprised that people so often ask "what does she look like"....the Lady is dressed in a grey gown and a white veil covering her black hair, adding: "She has a crown of golden stars, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and she floats on a silver cloud. She never stands on the ground." The visionaries counted 12 stars above her head, and said she looked to be around 18 years old - but not more than 20.
-- from the thread Virgin Mary is 165 centimetres tall, a visionary says in a new book

Mary showing up is never a good sign.

Usually means repentence required because great tumult and death is coming.

The one in Wisconsin right before the civil war, Fatima right before WWI, The one in Uganda before their blood bath.

somewhere in Africa?

Where? When? What were folks doing when it appeared?

Sounds like a fake.

You know, Africa isn’t the primitive bush country like you see in the movies anymore. They have big cities with internet connections and highways.

Even the African sister who taught me the local language when I worked there 30 years ago has a cellphone in her small rural convent.
