Mirage Appears in China's City


Recommended Posts

Sina.com.cn big news today

Mirage appeared at Wu-lu-mu-qi city, the capital of West China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region, lasting 25 minutes.

On Dec.21 afternoon, a heavy fog rolled over the capital. About 6:00PM, a peculiar sight appeared suddenly -- several buildings flouted from the sky over southeast of the capital. After 25 minutes the sight disappeared. Local reporter caught it luckily and took some pics of it.

Meteorologist thought this was mirage - an optical phenomenon that can only occur in desert or on the sea but rarely occur in a city.

Personally, I think the pics are crappy, and I also don't understand why sina wanted to make it as its big news...

So, I'd like to see the pics about mirage from your city or country.

Its not a mirage its just the buildings are poping over the top of the fog. I have seen this in LA, San Francisco. I remember waking up one morning and watching the fog roll down a hill in San Fran, it was awsome as it engulfed the city and bridges.

This happend quite often in Salt Lake City. I worked in one of the taller buildings and you could look down and everything would be clear but there would be a layer of smog you couldn't see through.

Also some of you need to really lay off JB, its getting to the point people are starting to be raceist.

if it wouldn't have been really a mirage why would someone make such a big news of it? or maybe the chinese ppl don't know that around their city exist some other buildings... ;)
