Fata Morgana boat picture
Video footage posted to YouTube allegedly shows the phenomenon as seen from Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA.
It was reportedly filmed by a tourist but witnessed by many more people on the beach.
While there have been claims it was a real flying boat, or even an odd-shaped UFO exiting the sea, the truth, as often is, remains likely to be more down to Earth.
Level-headed sceptics said it was not a flying ship but another example of an unusual optical illusion, known as “Fata Morgana.”
Fata Morgana is an optical illusion seen from the land or at sea when light is refracted when it passes through air layers of different densities, due to being heated differently by the Sun.
They are similar to the shimmering often seen over a road on a hot day while driving, and are responsible for the mirages of a water oasis seen by stricken people in deserts.
People Sha!
