Another mirage witnessed in China is reported to have occured on July 26, 2010. A ghost city of skyscrapers was seen on the Sanya Sea. It was unclear at around 6 a.m. But 45 minutes later as the ship approached to the target, officers and soldiers could see an island with high buildings hanging between the sea and sky. They took pictures of this amazing phenomenon that disappeared at 7.12 a.m.

A mirage is a phenomenon that appears when the layers of the air and water have big differences in temperature. It is caused by the light that comes through the air layers leading to reflection or refraction.
