In 1961, a report circulated that Pope John XXIII had been having
visions of doomsday - beginning with Libyan nuclear terrorism in a
European city, continuing with visitations by UFOs made of flaming
steel, and concluding with Christ's reappearance over New York in the
year 2000.
The truth of the report was denied by the Vatican.
Pope John XXIII died on this date in 1963.
