I suspect if there any substantiating and collaborating observations or references to seeing such a strange celestrial object had been uncovered by archeologists and historians by now , the Roman Catholic Church would have jumped on it quicker than Jack Flash and made a big song and dance about it (PROOF of yet another miracle .... etc etc .... well you get the drift)
Plus the fact that no one actually knows Jesus' actual birthday or even the year he was born , or really where he was born , and Xmas was pagen festible that was appropriated many decades after Jesus died (if he actually was crucified and killed that is) .
So ....
Conclusion : did not happen .
