He didn't see anything... Except a few idiots claiming they were seeing the sun wobbling.
A few is most definitely not thousands.
And it is common practice, among any assembly of people where differing opinions are to be expected, to have a few agents spread out to incite a particular message on the silent majority, thus making it look like most people share that message.
Testimonies from the 60's come more than 40 years too late to be anything more than anecdotes.
Isn't it funny that all the testimonies gathered in 1960 from people all over the world but didn't know each other, all coincided and said the same thing?
By the way, after the miracle in 1917, it took the Catholic Church 13 years and thousands of pages of testimonials to investigate the matter. If they were out to just scam the world to somehow draw attention or make a profit, they wouldn't have spent so long looking into it. In the end, in 1930, the Catholic Church made an official pronouncement approving of the authenticity of the miracle.
Tell me... why do you present us with testimonies gathered in the 60's, when you know there are testimonies that were gathered in the few years after the event? Why not give us those that convinced the catholic church?
But, even if you had those, what is the level of evidence required for the Vatican to conclude that a miracle has indeed occurred? And do remind me how much of an uninterested party they are.
Also, if you want funny, isn't it funny that the reporter on the scene didn't see anything? But saw a few people claiming they'd seen something...
