It's a Fortean construct , when people get in a weird mood , they create weird phenomenons
it's not illusion as such , more the power of mass belief to create physical perception
think of the UFO happening during the hysteria of the cold war
of the appearance of the Virgin Mary at Fatima ( Portugal ) during WW1
tens of thousands witnessed it
Lourdes pilgrimage generate hundred of spontaneous recoveries of massive physical disabilities ,
they are very severely checked by the church before being accepted , still there are hundred of them
I believe we are at the cusp of an era , people can feel it and are unsettled
