It would also prove that the sun didn't dance, it was just an optical illusion (or a 'mass vision' if that's what you'd prefer to believe).

Are you familiar with this event? Did you know that the witnesses said they all saw the sun crash to the Earth? Obviously, the most fervently believing witness doesn’t believe that what they saw happened is what did happen, since that would of course meant the destruction of the Earth.
But what sort of optical illusion makes it appear that the bright shining object in the sky would dance around and crash to the Earth? And don’t forget, this would have to also explain exactly how three little children were also able to anticipate this, so as to gather a crowd of 70,000 people to witness it happen. See, that’s the tough thing: Even if a naturalistic phenomenon could be proffered as an explanation, it can’t detract from the miraculous nature of the event, just like the various naturalistic phenomena offered as explanations for Moses’ plagues of Egypt can’t detract from the miraculous nature of God’s deliverance of his people from Egypt.
