It's sad that so many people apparently thought this was some sort of supernatural event or sign. It's also frustrating that this and other reports spoke of "myths", "mythology", or "superstition" because they do not apply this same terminology to Western religious and spiritual beliefs. I'd like to read sometime to see the Associated Press come out with a story on Dec. 25th saying "According to Christian mythology, Christmas marks the birth of Jesus, who they believe was one-third of their god, as well as a human being who was born to a virgin mother, who walked around as a ghost after his death, and other superstitious beliefs."
