For centuries, the Vatican has been carefully guarding their most precious secrets.  In recent years, that has been especially true regarding what they know about UFOs, aliens and the mysteries of the universe.  So why have they chosen this exact moment in history to publicly talk about these things?  The press conference at the Vatican on Thursday is the very first time that the Vatican has held a press conference about UFOs, aliens and "apparitions" since 1978.  So this is a really big deal.  It is being reported that the Vatican has decided to issue new guidelines "on aliens and how it will deal with potential encounters in the future"…

The Vatican has announced that it is set to hold a press conference on "supernatural phenomena" tomorrow, and it will touch on aliens and how it will deal with potential encounters in the future.

According to a notice on the Vatican's website, it will kick of at noon tomorrow, and will feature three prominent Vatican members.

Being held to "present the new provisions of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith for discerning between apparitions and other supernatural phenomena," it will be led by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandex, Messenger Armando Matteo and Daniela Del Gaudio.

If the Vatican feels a need to issue guidelines about how to "deal with potential encounters in the future", that seems to imply that they believe that there will be "potential encounters in the future".

What do they know that they aren't telling us?

Probably a lot.

The last time that the Vatican did something like this was all the way back in February 1978…

The last time the Vatican's doctrinal office issued norms for evaluating alleged apparitions and reports of supernatural events was in February 1978.
