First of all, let's calm down.

The ship is not really flying in the sky although it was really exciting then.

In fact, it is an optical illusion created because the color of the sea is the same as the color of the sky.

McCallum explained to the Daily Mail: "It looks like the ship was flying in the air because a cloud formed closer to shore changed the color of the water closer to shore. The ship, being farther away, was in a cloudless area so the water reflected the clear sky - which caused it To look like the ship is flying in the air. "

McCallum wrote next to the photo: "I saw a real optical illusion in Banff today" and expanded on a conversation with the Daily Mail: "When I first saw the ship, I had to rub my eyes because I really thought it was flying. However, after further examination I noticed that it was actually just an illusion Amazing optics. "

David Meteor, a BBC meteorologist, has a slightly different explanation for the strange phenomenon.

He claims that it is a pata morgana, an object that is seen from a very high distance but is composed of four reflections, one above the other, of the same distant object.

That is, the object looks much higher than it really is.

According to him, this phenomenon is caused by temperature reversal, ie a situation in which the layer near the sea remains cold while the layer above it is heated by the sun, so that a gradient of temperatures is created.

Optical illusions showing flying sailing vessels are not uncommon. Posted online in 2017 and sparked a similar controversy.
