Honestly the alternatives are utter rubbish.

Mass hallucinations- people who had no idea what about these kids saw the miracles from miles away. It also fails to explain why people staring at the Sun for 10 minutes somehow managed to non sustain any sort of eye damage

UFO-some people didn't see it.

Cloud of dust- it was raining for hours before hand, why would prevent this from happening

Sun dog- claims are inconsistent with descriptions of sun dogs.

People staring at the sun too long (yeah some guys claim that it was this)- no eye damage recorded and the General descriptions are inconsistent with what would happen if you did stare at the sun to long. Plus people say that it took place as soon as the looked at the sun, not after a certain period

Any other sort of meteorological event - some people didn't see it despite the fact that it happened for about 10 minutes.

Plus there a few details that people choose to ignore about this event.

The ground and people's clothes were completely soaked due to the rain. After the event they were completely dry (I've read at least 12 accounts that confirmed this to be true)

At least four miraculous healing that took place

The kids prophecies came true. They predicted that an great miracle would happen  on 23rd of October 1917. They predicted that two of them would die young and that the last one would live a long life (two of them died the next year of the Spanish flu and the third lived to 97) if Russian wasn't  Consecrated to the Virgin Mary then a it would spread its errors though the world, the church would be persecuted and a second Great War would happen (this would be  heralded  by great light). And let's see, the Cold War, World War Two and the aurora of 1938 ( we all know what happened the year after that)
