That's easy. If you stare at the sun long enough unprotected, a survival mechanism kicks in to try to save your sight. Your eyes make involuntary movements to move your pupils out of alignment with the sun. This involuntary motion makes it seem as if the sun is moving around. You can simulate the effect by moving your eye with your finger (I recommend touching it through the eyelid), since your eyes are being moved by something besides your voluntary eye movements, whatever you're looking at will seem to move around.

So here's what happened: Someone stared at the sun until it seemed to start to move around. They told someone who also stared at the sun until it 'started to move around'. Other people were amazed and wanted to see it for themselves, and so they did. On the other hand, a lot of people who were there didn't see a damn thing, probably because they were too smart to stare directly at the sun for very long.

Although the fact that the whole world would take notice (if we survived0 if the sun actually moved around should have clued you in that it was some kind of illusion or hallucination.


That's basically exactly what I said.
