(Is it true that over 1,000 people at the time witnessed what they thought was the Sun, moving in, above their heads, looking like a huge UFO? And that had a lot to do with the Church accepting the miracle?)

Let me add a little bit from memory. A miracle was prophesied at least a month in advance to the exact minute. As it turned out it was the miracle of the sun. 60,000 people showed up on a completely overcast horrible rainy day. They were all soaked. Some were atheist, there to debunk, to include a NY times reporter.

Breakes in the cloud cover occurred and then the sun display lasted for several minutes. It was described as it danced and cavorted across the skies to radiate showers of brightly colored offshoots much like a 4 July spin wheel. (some one help with the name.)The final scene was the sun plunging to earth. The crowd thought they were goners. When it was all over the skies cleared. All were dry.

The NY Time atheist reporter submitted a major story accurately. It was given front page coverage at the time. I am certain that there is a talented freeper that could find that report.

Godspeed, The Dilg
