Mysterious Mirage Filmed Off Italian Coast

Yari Piras was standing on a beach in Cagliari, Italy, when he spotted an unusual sight. A boat appeared to be sailing quite a distance away from him but its appearance was warped. This phenomenon is known as a Fata Morgana. It is a mirage that can be seen right above the horizon, causing objects to appear distorted and other-worldly. These mirages were once believed to have been created by a sorceress in order to lure sailors to their death. Credit: YouTube / Yari Piras
