Why?
* Almost at the exact time the camera is pointed up the miracles begin.
* The lack of reaction from the public - I can hear something like an "oh" but otherwise it's just half serious laughter and talking before the music starts playing.
*The "smoke" could easily be fake
*The roses, yes roses that is said to rain from heaven looks veryyyy suspicious to me.
Comments is disabled in the video. I think someone reprogrammed the camera.
Help me debunk this.
Wow. I just LOVE the "skeptical" view this little documentary takes. Spin at its very best.
I'm no expert by any means but the sun thing looks an awful lot like a shutter issue with the camera. Anyone who has spent any time with any machine can tell you that they often have on-again-off-again problems.
Clouds? Clouds happen. Nothing miraculous about it.
The rose petals. This feels a lot like the "raining frogs" deal. In that case, the frogs were swept into a windstorm from drought-decimated ponds and susequently dropped some mile down the road. I suspect it is the same deal here. Flower petals swept up in the onvious wind and deposited somewhere down the road.
As for the woman herself, she may very well believe she is talking to mary. My guess is that she has a mental ilness of some variety, perhaps schizophrenia.
