Now you are assuming. If Mary M were a good little disciple,she would have run immediately and done what Jesus told her to do, and she did. However she never said anything about seeing him floating away, BTW, why would he have to fly up to heaven, couldn't he just disappear and reappear in Heaven? Flying all that way sounds like a bummer. Besides the whole of Jerusalem could have seen him flying up. He could have dropped water balloons on Caiaphas' house or even on Pilot.

The first part is rising the physical body from the dead. Probably only some angels saw that who were inside the tomb. But, the second phase of the resurrection is the spiritual resurrection, when Jesus flew up to sit with his Father in heaven. I'm pretty sure Mary saw him fly up and disappear - it would be hard to miss something supernatural like that, right in the middle of a conversation with the risen Lord. John 20:17: "Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to My God and your God."
