If a phenomenon like what you said occurred and if all naturalistic explanations couldn't explain the phenomenon then it would be accepted as proof of that phenomenon, and if a being caused it then that being can be acknowledged for that phenomenon, however that doesn't mean that this phenomenon cannot be disputed at a later date. If something is true, then it will be deemed true only as long as we can verify and re-verify it.
What if this being moved the Sun from where it is to next to the Earth without affecting temperature, night/day cycle on Earth? Scientists could go out on a shuttle to see and measure the heat of this object without being harmed. This should be crazy enough that they would believe. But would people(prolly skeptical peers) on Earth accept their testimony or require further testing? What would constitute "enough" testing? Would this supernatural act be deemed supernatural eventually or as long as it stayed supernatural and didnt fit the laws of Science would it never be accepted as true?
