A 'mirage' of a town, trees and mountains appears in China clicky

Trying to figure that one out, I'd like opinions as I've been watching so much Stargate all I can think is that it's a parallel dimension. :lol:

It looks like very low lying mist to me.

Yup but those buildings, mountains and some of the trees - they're not there in reality, that's the mirage.

It would be nice to see a before / after picture. The mirage is so realistic I can't tell which part isn't there!

That reporter has an incredibly husky voice. She should cut down the cigarettes I think. Agreed about the before/ after though, how the heck are you supposed to tell if the story is about an ultra-realistic mirage?

Why? There's lots of precedents for the phenomena. It's very rare, but not impossible. It's called a Fata Morgana.
