Twice in my life I've seen what they call Fata Morgana, and both times it was on an island (Sicily and Santorini) when I was on top of a cliff during a sunset, and I could see a nearby island or peninsula refracted by the sun's rays into the sky. It looked like a floating island, very detailed. Completely real. Up in the sky.

One of the most famous examples is when images from downtown Toronto appeared above Buffalo in 1894, to such a detailed degree that people could see people, chruch steeples, sailboats, etc.

This article explains what happened: The great Toronto mirage of 1894

How does an optical illusion get shown at a 1970s concert?

Happens to me all the time when I think my chip is just beyond the cup only to find I have a 30 footer to make par, a putt I can easily make in three tries!

Just watched this again a few nights ago.
Have trouble with this type of optical illusion because I have astigmatism in both eyes.

I see the stairs going up and showing the underside.

Who sees the stairs color-shifting between blue and gold?

I still think this game is a Truman show-esque conspiracy theory against me only. I have never seen a spaceship or a gorilla or anything for that matter.

I used to think i was crazy for thinking someone would start a game just to make me the biggest loser....until @navery12 posted reverse sheep. Now I'm convinced
