Some of the those dwelling here on Moe's may be familiar with "superior mirages," but until today I wasn't one of them. Optical illusions caused by this atmospheric anomaly are easier to explain if you just click the link, to see what appears to be an ocean-going tanker floating high above the water. Pretty cool. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-56286719Wonder if some UFO sightings come about because of this phenomenon? |

I'm sure many UFO sightings can be explained by natural phenomena, but that tanker is clearly carrying a cargo of Helium.

I collected more than 15,000 hours of airplane time as an AF flyer, and we sometimes saw strange things like this near the horizon on really clear days. I do believe this phinomina... fenamano... 'thing' is a common source of many UFO reports.

Photoshop is a great invention. Some fool has posted photos of celebrities as the appear today posed casually with how they looked decades ago looks real but its not.

I live on the south shore of MA directly across the Bay from Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod. On a clear day I can usually see Race Point Lighthouse which is about 25 miles away. Under the right conditions I can see the lighthouse as well as many of the buildings in P-town floating on the horizon. It's pretty cool.

You guys must be watching the BS stuff on Netflix.
It used to be that P-Town was known for it's "alternative lifestyle" community (NTTAWWT). Times change I guess.
