The miracle of the sun.

Hello today I wish to discuss one of the bedrocks of my faith the miracle of Fatima.

A brief Summary. It was predicted by a Portuguese girl who claimed that the virgin Mary would cast a great miracle on a specific date. So an estimated 30000-100000 people gathered to see this event for themselfs. At some point the girl shouted (LOOK AT THE SUN!) then a silvery disc emerged from the clouds. now the accounts vary some say the sun danced other that it fell or that it turned into a spinning color wheel. for a more detailed summary check out the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_the_Sun. So what happened, did tens of thousands of people hallucinate at the same time?, are they all lying? or is there an natural explanation?
