What made the ship "float" in the air? | Israel today

Colin was driving his car in an area overlooking the sea in Ireland, when he suddenly noticed what appeared to be a cargo ship floating in the air • This is the explanation for the strange phenomenon

A resident of the county of Aberdeenshire in Northern Ireland, named Colin McAllum, was driving his car in an area overlooking the sea when he noticed what appeared to be a huge cargo ship sailing in the sky, over the ocean and not in the water itself.

The stunned man, realizing that this was an optical illusion, shot a video of the event and uploaded it to Facebook - where she of course sparked widespread talk about such illusions, and a host of reactions from people who initially had great difficulty understanding how this optical illusion creates such an accurate false spectacle.

In an interview, Colin McCallum said that "at first I was shocked myself and did not understand what I was seeing, but then I froze again and realized it was an optical illusion.

"Before the ship, in the part of the sea closest to the island, there was a low layer of clouds right on the sea, which caused a darker blue color. The ship is anchored in an area where the sea is as blue as the sky itself, so it looks like it is in the air.

One of the many reactions to the video was "Damn, I can not figure out what's going on here? How is that even possible?", Another surfer wrote "This is a big picture, really ingenious".
