"Phlegon, a Greek author from Caria writing a chronology soon after 137 A.D., reported that in the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (i.e., 33 A.D.) there was 'the greatest eclipse of the sun' and that 'it became night in the sixth hour of the day [i.e., noon] so that the stars even appeared in the heavens. There was a great earthquake in Bithynia, and many things were overturned in Nicaea.'"

Paul L. Maier, _Pontius Pilate_, citing a fragment from Phlegon, translated by Maier.

There's one. I'm not a historical expert, either; I just have what I've picked up. I'm sure there are many others.
