Mystery: floating city's appearance leaves Chinese in shock [video]

Residents of the city of Foshan, Guangdong Province of China, were intrigued with a very unusual situation that occurred last week. Apparently, a ghost town appeared on the clouds of the region, surprising the local community.

The record was exhibited in a Chinese television network and according to Gizmodo website information, apparently several people witnessed the fact that only lasted a few minutes. What is speculating is that the possible reason that originated the fact is already known optical illusion that produces that kind of effect.

Also according to Gizmodo, there was a similar case with the Guangdong a few days later, in Jiangxi Province. However, this type of event is not new in China. In 2012, we show here at Mega curious a video recorded in the city of Huanshan, when an illusion did appear buildings, mountains and trees on clouds over the Xinan River, which bisects the city.

The mirage

According to information released by the British site Independent experts said the phenomenon occurred in the last week is an optical illusion called Fata Morgana, which takes place under special conditions combined with light layers of cold and warm air.



When a heat exchange, ie the hot air layer lies on the cold light rays can pass through these different temperature ranges and bending, generating mirage as the following image.



Although not very common, the Fata Morgana mirages have been caught by many people. Castles, boats and floating inverted in the air, facing mountains and several atmospheric formations are some of the already registered illusion of examples cited by the Gizmodo site.

Other theories about the fact the last week

By misinformation or believe much in conspiracy, some people insist that occurred in Guangdong, China, this is another situation. As the video below shows, some believe that the phenomenon may be the result of a NASA project called Blue Beam, which according to Gizmodo explains, it would be an "attempt to implement a new religion to worship the Antichrist."

Two other possibilities are raised by the video posted on Paranormal channel Crucible, YouTube. One is that the apparition might mean a temporal vortex materializing a parallel universe on the Chinese city. On the other, the city in the clouds would be the result of a test with advanced top-secret holographic technology, which aimed to make the appearance of the dense population to rise as would the public reaction to the fact.
