The most unusual mirages that had to watch people
People saw mirages, since ancient times, what remained of many legends. On the one hand, it is difficult to find someone who at least once in my life seen would be the easiest Mirage — blue lake on a hot highway. On the other — thousands of people watched the sky is literally fancy castles, hanging cities and even the army, but here the specialists have no explanation for this natural phenomenon.
Mirages come in several forms: lake, or lower; top (they appear right in the sky) or a Mirage far vision; lateral Mirage. A more complex form of Mirage called "Fata Morgana"
The lower (lake) Mirage. The lower mirages occur mainly in cases when the layers of air near the Earth's surface (e.g. in the desert) warmed up so that the rays of light that come from objects very strongly bent.
Victims of mirages is very often the caravans in the desert Erg al-Rawi in Northern Africa. In front of people "personally" at a distance of 2-3 kilometers appear oases, to which in reality no less than 700 kilometers
Residents of the côte d'azur of France on a clear morning is not seen on the horizon of the Mediterranean sea, where the water meets the sky, from the sea rises a chain of Corsican mountains, to which the côte d'azur about two hundred kilometers.
Thousands of locals and tourists witnessed the Mirage, which lasted for four hours in the city of Penglai on the Eastern coast of China. The mist created an image of the city, with modern high-rise buildings, large city streets and bustling cars. In the city of Penglai two days it was raining before it happened is a rare weather phenomenon.
