I do not believe a lick of this, it sounds like complete and utter nonsense.
What are some scientific documents about this (I'll take either side, pro-miracle or anti-miracle, but they have to be online, accessable, and coherent.) ?
The sun can't just move around like that. It's dumb.

I am talking about that thing that happened in Portugal in the 1930s, where a massive crowd gathered because supposedly the sun started moving around in circles in the sky, and even moved backwards and changed colors.
Anyway, I don't believe that the sun revolves around the earth, and I'm not going to believe in something just out of faith. I am an atheist, and I would like to see some actual science from people who believe in this.

This was only seen by the people of Fatima, nobody outside of Fatima witnessed the event, even people as close as 40 miles away did not witness the event. That means that the sun did not actually move about the sky as described, otherwise others outside of Fatima would have also witnessed it. While witnesses described what they saw as the sun, they also said that it was much dimmer than the sun and they could look directly at it without hurting their eyes. They also said that it zigzagged about the sky and shot towards the earth at one point. Whatever they saw it obviously was not the sun. What they describe actually sounds a lot what people today would call a UFO.

It was reported in the newspapers of the time in Portugal. It was witnessed by thousands of people at Fatima and in nearby areas where they had no idea what the cause was. The newspapers that reported the incident were state run, atheist leaning and anti-Catholic. You can find references online but you won't believe it. You might even find an eyewitness or two, but you will discredit them also. I say this because you preface your question with a statement of denial and finish with a judgement before you do the research. Good luck Chump.
BTW, it was in 1917 not the 1930's.
Get your facts straight before you try to ridicule others beliefs.

OK, some context:
The Miracle of the Sun is an alleged miraculous event that was witnessed by possibly as many as 100,000 people on 13 October 1917 in the Cova da Iria fields near Fátima, Portugal

You don't believe what?
Ok. I thought you might have been talking about something from the Bible or from the Koran.
But while you're asking for evidence, can you even speculate what kind of evidence would be left from such an event?
If it's called a miracle, it's called so because people can't fit it in a scientific explanation.

A miracle is something either you believe in or don't believe in.
There are many anecdotal reports, not just those present at Fatima but many miles away, of seeing something unexplainable.

Nothing scientific...just testimony from eyewitnesses...sometimes you just gotta have Faith.
You were Not an eyewitness to Jesus Christ's Cruficixation either
