Matt 27 - …darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. A solar eclipse was not possible.

Mat 27:45 Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

Some people claim that this was a solar eclipse, but that is not possible. There was a full moon at the time of Passover and a solar eclipse can only occur at the time of a New Moon. This was purely a supernatural event. This event was recorded as having happened by others in that day:
Phlegon was a historian who lived in the first century. There are two books credited to his name: Chronicles and the Olympiads. Little is known about Phlegon but he made reference to Christ. The first two quotes are unique to Origen and the last quote below is recorded by Origen and Philopon. Phlegon mentioned the eclipse which took place during the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus and no other (eclipse); it is clear that he did not know from his sources about any (similar) eclipse in previous times . . . and this is shown by the historical account of Tiberius Caesar. - De. opif. mund. II21 Thallus (circa AD 52) wrote a history about the middle east from the time of the Trojan War to his own time. The work has been lost and the only record we have of his writings is through Julius Africanus (AD 221). Below Julius Africanus refers to Christ's crucifixion and the darkness that covered the earth prior to his death. "This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as it appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun. For the Hebrews celebrate the Passover on the 14th day according to the moon, and the passion of our Savior falls on the day before the Passover; but an eclipse of the sun takes place only when the moon comes under the sun. And it cannot happen at any other time but in the interval between the first day of the new moon and the last of the old, that is, at their junction: how then should an eclipse occur when the moon is almost diametrically opposite the sun?" Although they erroneously thought this event was an eclipse, these quotes by ancient historians definitely point to the event and attempts at describing and explaining it at or near the time it happened.
