Its interesting that there are will-o'-wisp style folklore the whole world over. Whether or not its a real phenomenon, psychological, or a mix, its fascinating that it seem to be so universal.

And CNN's erroneous coverage of a fake fata morgana https://www.cnn.com/2015/10/20/world/china-floating-city-vid...
