Portugal witnesses solar spectacle: Thousands report sun dancing in the sky in 1917 Fatima event

On October 16, 1917, an event known as the "Miracle of the Sun" occurred in Fatima, Portugal. Thousands of people, including skeptics and journalists, gathered near Fatima to witness what three shepherd children had claimed would be a miracle.

According to reports, at approximately noon, a strange phenomenon began to unfold. The sun appeared to "dance" or zigzag in the sky, spin rapidly, and emit multicolored light across the landscape. Some witnesses claimed that the sun appeared to "tear itself from the heavens" and hurtle towards the earth, causing people to fear for their lives. Many reported that their previously wet clothes had dried rapidly during the event.

The event lasted approximately ten minutes and was witnessed by people up to 40 kilometers away. After the occurrence, the ground and the people's clothes, which had been drenched by the previous rainy weather, were both dry.

The "Miracle of the Sun" was a highly controversial event, with many people believing it to be a genuine miracle, while others proposed various explanations such as mass hallucination, optical illusion caused by prolonged staring at the sun, or natural phenomena like a sun dog or solar prominence. Some skeptics even suggested that the event was a hoax perpetrated by the Church.

Despite the many theories, the "Miracle of the Sun" remains an unexplained phenomenon, as no scientific consensus has been reached regarding its cause. The event continues to be a topic of intrigue and debate among researchers, religious scholars, and the general public.
