At best, sooner people saw the sun wobbling in the sky... While people right next to them saw nothing.

So, I'd wager that there's a better explanation to the phenomenon than good did it. If God did it, then everyone would have seen the same thing.

The place is called "Cova da Iria", cova meaning Hole in the ground.
It's a hole, a large dip, which after the heavy rain of that morning and the hot sun that followed, would produce some nice up-draft of moist air... The kind that produces mirages...
Do you know what a mirage is?

Not only would everyone at the site have seen the same thing, but so too would everyone on the planet.  The sun can't just wobble in one place and be still in another.  That means that something else is going on.

Nah... once you allow for miracles, that argument is out the window - Every observation is compatible with God magic
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
