Hmm.... interesting! Is there any interview on youtube with the people who participated?

So maybe it's all just made up then. Just curious how a story like that would just be invented... And how did the story spread, unless the bit about the guy who went to Finland is true...? Well, perhaps he just wanted to start a new life and left - not relating to any religious experience... and then he made up the story later, so the Christians would sympathise and help him.

If there was a story in media sources that, say, a hundred people witnessed the Sun suddenly dropping down behind the horizon, would you take it seriously? I mean everything in the media should be taken with a grain or two of salt. When I hear or read a story like that the needle of my bogusometer just flies off the scale.
Well, this story has been around for such a long time. I read it the first time in my teens, in some Christian magazine. 20 years later the story is on youtube! But the story I have read earlier was different, and the location was "Siberia".
