Initial data
For a long time, images of an ancient temple, city or landscape have been rising in the sky in different places of the Zhiguli reservoir (near Samara). The celestial picture lasts up to 15 minutes, as if tied to some observation points and does not participate in the general movement of ordinary clouds.
There is a hypothesis about a city hiding at the bottom of a reservoir, which is reflected in the sky from time to time. But almost all the former cities were left in ruins on the ground. Therefore, if there is no real object at the bottom, then it should not be reflected at the top (unless some projecting apparatus nearby, visible to us or invisible, participates in the creation of the picture).
Hypotheses
Mirage
Optical phenomenon in which the air in the result of the refraction of light rays in addition to items in their true position, see their virtual images in the direct, inverted or severely distorted.
Distinguish mirages:
- lower
- top
- side
Inferior Mirage occurs when a large vertical temperature gradient (drop it with the height) over a superheated flat surface, often desert or paved road. Usually this "puddle" on asphalte or sand.
