Researchers are investigating a mystery photo which has been said to show the Virgin Mary appearing before an amphitheater full of worshippers.
The remarkable image appears to show the shape of the Virgin Mary appearing towards the front of a packed crowd, as if being beamed in from a source up above.
It was taken at a mass held by a high-ranking Catholic priest who claimed to receive messages from the Madonna herself.
Yet the shape of Mary is a striking white in contrast to the yellowish light behind her.
The person who handed the image to an organisation that investigates UFOs and the paranormal has not been named, however they sent in what appears to be a photograph of the original printed picture.
The source claims the original snap was taken in 1994 during a huge Catholic mass called a cenacle given by Italian priest Father Stefano Gobbi at the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
Father Gobbi, who has toured the world, was encouraged by the then Pope and was scrutinised by the church over claims of having mystical dealings with the Virgin Mary.
The source of the image gave no other information than to mysteriously say it had been given to them by a stranger – who also went unnamed unnamed.
They wrote to the investigators: “A stranger gave me this photo. My first thought was the Virgin.”
The image was bizarrely sent to a team of UFO researchers, but has been logged for investigation due to the extraordinary nature of the photograph.
Express.co.uk enquires have established that Father Gobbi died aged 80 on June 292011, but spent more than three decades holding special mass gatherings centring around the Virgin Mary.
In his liftime he “traveled the world holding Cenacles of Prayer on every continent”, according to an article on Father Gobbi by Colin Donovan, vice president for Theology, at the Global Catholic Network, on the organisations’s website.
