have regarded the rare appearance of a solar eclipse as an omen or message. In the last few centuries, astronomers have assured us that, since its mechanics are both measurable and predictable, that such eclipses have no supernatural characteristics.

Author and entertainer Sand Sheff challenges that assertion with Eclipse Witness: Evidence of Supernatural Patterns in the Solar Eclipse Phenomenon takes on centuries of scientific orthodoxy with a chronicle of historical eclipses and solar eclipse cycles that point to artistic and narrative elements in solar eclipses. For instance, here's a few examples:

Eclipses across Europe two days after Titanic sank in 1912 and in August 1914 in the opening days of WWI .

A total Eclipse from the USA to the USSR in 1945 one week before the Atom bomb was first tested in New Mexico.

Total eclipse in 1834 that followed the path of the Trail of Tears while the Cherokees were on it.

Now, the USA sees 3 eclipses in 7 years between 2017 and 2024 which, when mapped, create an unusual hieroglyph across the nation. It is part of a cycle which also creates a related solar eclipse hieroglyph across the Middle East in 2027 and 2034.

There are dozens of even more startling examples of peculiar individual eclipses, groups of eclipses and astonishingly precise eclipse cycles that all point to divine authorship of the eclipse phenomenon. In a fast-moving and highly visual book, Sheff outlines his controversial argument and provides lots of interesting context for the upcoming US eclipses, including the October 14 2023 solar eclipse across the Four Corners region. Sheff is the author of the acclaimed children's book, Eclipse Miracle: The Sun is the Same Size as the Moon in the Sky.
