Sun Spins And Plunges Toward Fatima Crowd In 1917
The incident known as the Miracle of the Sun occurred on October 13 1917 in Fatima Portugal.
An estimated 70000 people gathered after three young shepherds reported apparitions and predicted a sign from the heavens.
As rain poured down the clouds parted and the sun appeared to spin like a wheel casting multicolored lights across the landscape.
Witnesses described the orb zigzagging then diving toward the crowd before returning to its normal position.
The event was documented by local newspapers and later investigated by the Catholic Church which declared it worthy of belief.
Many researchers classify it as one of the largest recorded UFO mass sightings due to the physical effects reported including the sudden drying of wet clothes and ground.
Official reports from clergy and journalists provide credible contemporary accounts across multiple eras of similar solar anomalies worldwide.
