i didnt bother checking out the vid but by what you said i'm familar with the "miracle".. i learned about it on the discovery channel before..For people who don't know what the hell this video is supposed to be about:
On April 20th (2011), this 'strange' event occurred and was witnessed by thousands of people. It was a sighting of some sort of figure in the sky, And people think that it's Virgin Mary dressed in white with a blue blanket.
It happened in Yopougon, in Abidjan.. (which is in like Africa.. or something) Some days before the festival of easter and nine days after the coup d'etat in the country.
She really is a looker:

Ahem, anyway, there's believers and skeptics, people who say it's the real virgin mary and others who say it's just a project blue beam type hologram or solar flares and a variety of other things. Also when you search it none of the results that talk about it are credible. Usually 'topsecret', spiritual, or ufo sites.
I have no opinion of it one way or the other, although I lean towards the high likeliness that it is probably fake.
....either some people have super vision, my vision is sh*t, or people are delusional. I'm going to go with the latter as I see a milticolored diamond-shaped...thing.For people who don't know what the hell this video is supposed to be about:

mmm, while it is quite unlikely, it's not impossible. thousands of people have Munchausen syndrome in which they cause their symptoms to occur because they really believe they have whatever disease. I think it's a similar thing here, but that's just me. Anything is possible I suppose.^^^^ this event was viewed by alot lots lots of people. I forget how much maybe thousands but psych professionals say it's impossible for that amount of people to all have an hallucination or illusion. It was a huge event in the sky that was viewed for hundreds of miles.
munchausen syndrome is something that thousands of people suffer ALL AROUND THE WORLD. not in just one specific area. and you cant even remotely say that one group of random people are suffer from munchausen fi they all are witnessing an event.mmm, while it is quite unlikely, it's not impossible. thousands of people have Munchausen syndrome in which they cause their symptoms to occur because they really believe they have whatever disease.

But that gets me thinking...I would love to see a study done on the number of people who saw it as a sign of God and correlate it with their affiliated religion and see if there is some relation. going with the while bias theme, I think those who affiliate with certain religions or a religion in general are more likely to see it as a sign of God than those who have no designated religion.
I should mention this as a possible study to my professor the next time she goes to a psychology convention to get funding for a study like that. Would be interesting.
FYI I'm a psychology student. =P Sorry for geeking out there.
