First of all, not all events in this world leave behind physical evidence. If I shined a bright light in your face yesterday, there is no physical evidence of it today.
But we're not talking about having a light shone in my face, are we? You're seriously proposing a star whizzing around off its axis. Whereas the counter-proposal is somewhere between delusion and hoax. Given the known propensity for people to lie, exaggerate and/or simply need to believe, multiplied by the also-known desperation for the church - especially the Catholic church - for a good money-spinning headline grabber in order to appear relevant, and then balanced against the sheer impossibility of the story as related... Well, which is more plausible?
The point is not all events in this world leave behind physical evidence. If the sun did something strange, you're not necessarily going to find
physical evidence the following day.
As for people lying, there were 70,000 people watching there that day, most of did not know each other, and many came to disprove that a miracle would occur. The disbelievers left as believers. So this argument doesn't hold.
