The world didn't see it because God was addressing a specific group of people. Portuguese Catholics were under duress from an anti-clerical government and anti-religious groups at the time. Thousands of them had been praying in a 'crusade of the rosary' for help. That only they saw it might be considered part of the miracle.
Pardon if the tone of my first post was rude, didn't mean to be.
Life is terribly ironic. If you wish a mighty miracle like the stopping or exploding of a star, well God gave you something very much akin when he made the sun dance at fatima in what is perhaps the greatest miracle ever. And in doing so he also anticipated the thoughts on just this subject from one of our leading atheists.
