I was in Turkey when this eclipse happened. It was an awe inspiring experience, which I tried to capture on video. What amazed me was how FAST it got dark when it neared totality. And about halfway through totality, a frigid breeze swept over us. Now bear in mind it was near 90F at the time, so where did this ice cold breeze come from? It was truly spooky. I can see how, in past centuries, people would die of fright!

At the end of the video, I show the moon's shadow leaving. While you can't see a cone of darkness, you can see how rapidly the light returns. In just seconds, from darkness to near daylight.

We were with a tour group led by top theologians Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan
