Dancing Blue Sun

Today is the 92 anniverary of the Miracle of the Sun that took place in Fatima, Portugal. Accounts of the spectacle inspire whether or not the incident was truly miraculous. From Wikpedia...
According to many witness statements, after a downfall of rain, the dark clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disc in the sky. It was said to be significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights across the landscape, the shadows on the landscape, the people, and the surrounding clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened towards the earth in a zigzag pattern, frightening some of those present who thought it meant the end of the world. Some witnesses reported that their previously wet clothes became "suddenly and completely dry."
