This is caused by involuntary eye movements as your 'lizard-brain' is trying to save you from going blind from staring at the sun too long. When you have involuntary eye movements like that, the perception is that it's the object you're looking at that is moving, rather than your eyes.

The pretty colors right after clouds parting sounds like an atmospheric effect. The rest sounds like crowd-effect religious hysteria.

Either that or it was an alien ship. Of course, people many miles away saw it, too, and they were not part of the crowd. But don't let those facts bother you. It could not possibly have been a supernatural event caused by God because you don't believe in supernatural events or God, right?

Folks, this one post proves the presuppositions of atheists as well as I could ever hope to do myself.

This need to "explain away" any and all evidence is why I have said previously that it is not possible to give evidence for God's existence.
