Miracle of the Sun
In Portugal in 1917, a religious experience became a possible UFO encounter. The Miracle of the Sun, as it was known, was witnessed by thousands of people and began with a prediction made by three shepherd kids who said that on October 13th, 1917, the Virgin Mary would appear and perform miracles.
Around two in the afternoon, a strange occurrence occurred when the sun began “dancing” and “zig-zagging” in the sky. Others claimed it was some sort of solar phenomenon, with brilliant lights illuminating the ground.
