Scroll down about a page to see these eyewitness accounts of the surprising miracle accompanying the appearances of the Virgin Mary to three children at Fatima, Portugal. The first account is from an anti-clerical newspaper, hardly in favor of the Church, whose reporter was honest about what he actually saw then.

One of these witnesses said "I feel incapable of describing what I saw and felt. I looked fixedly at the sun, which seemed pale and did not hurt the eyes. Looking like a ball of snow revolving on itself, it suddenly seemed to come down in a zigzag, menacing the earth. Terrified, I ran and hid myself among the people, who were weeping and expecting the end of the world at any moment."
"Near us was an unbeliever who had spent the morning mocking at the simpletons who had gone off to Fátima just to see an ordinary girl. He now seemed to be paralyzed, his eyes fixed on the sun. Afterwards he trembled from head to foot and lifting up his arms fell on his knees in the mud, crying out to our Lady."
