Yes we need to also acetain if a carnival or circus was in the area on a schedule of ever 6 monthes.Perhaps the woman who was said to be 3 feet tall was a midget in the side show.
]]>The purported miracle in which a large crowd saw the sun move in circles occurred at Fatima, where people were piously waiting for a sign. It was a form of hallucination resulting from staring at the sun and from group hysteria. Once one person shouted that the sun was moving around, other people, almost in a trance, began to believe the same. Miracle of the Sun - Wikipedia gives other perspectives from the point of view of weather events and group hysteria.

This is something which has happened in science a lot as it's "impossible" the Earth moves around the sun--we see it move. Also, quantum physics.
]]>It passes the test you gave, no good known alternative explanation. Looks like a cheap trick to me, even if I can't tell how it's done. It involves a cracker, I suspect stained with some Italian blood. But who knows?
This, along with Kreeft's favourite: St Januarius's Truly Amazing Congealing Blood@, just isn't near enough to convince me. I'm more impressed with some of David Copperfield's tricks. I can't explain how Copperfield performs his tricks, but I don't think he's a real wizard.
