	Mirage
		Mirages are, in fact, a kind of optical illusion where the natural and reasonable assumptions of the visual sense are led astray, in this case by the curvature of light rays, which are so often straight lines from the object seen to the eye, as the eye always assumes, but here are not.
		Mirages have been studied scientifically for a long while, and the literature is immense (although, unfortunately, inaccessible at the present time and place).
		Mirages were well-known to the ancients, and this was the haunt of Scylla and Charybdis, malevolent haunters of the Straits who caused dangerous tidal currents there.

	Weather Elements: The Inferior Mirage: Not Just For Deserts Anymore
		Mirages are now known to be more common sights than most people believed a century ago, perhaps because of increasing human alteration of the landscape which favours their formation.
		The inferior mirage forms when light rays passing through a relatively warm layer of air are bent upward from their path.
		Inferior mirages may also form over heated vertical surfaces such as a rock face or wall, giving a surreal view of the surroundings appearing over this surface, including the "pool of water" illusion clinging to a vertical surface.

	Weather Elements: Mirages: A Primer
		The terms inferior and superior are not commentaries on their quality of the mirage's appearance but refer to the perceived position of the image relative to the actual location of the object.
		Mirages form when light rays emitted from a source or reflected off an object are bent as the path of the light ray crosses air layers of different densities.
		Mirages are confined to small viewing angles even when they appear large, about half a degree in width -- the size of the solar disk -- and most portray objects located from half a kilometre to about five kilometres (about a quarter mile to three miles).

	The UnMuseum - Mirages
		Though we associate mirages with the illusion of distant water in a desert, the phantom oasis is actually just the simplest example of this bizarre effect.
		Mirages in the sky may also be the source of many UFO reports.
		Since the properties of the mirage change with the movement of the air masses, objects in the mirage may twinkle, jump around, seem to speed away or disappear.

	France Nuclear Forces
		Mirage IV Developed in the wake of the Suez crisis (1956), the Mirage IV is a two-seater, twin-engine supersonic bomber having an effective range of up to 4,500 km with in-flight refueling.
		The exterior similarity between this strategic bomber and the Mirage III is noteworthy, in particular the wing design, which is of the delta-type in the Mirage tradition.
		In June 1964, it was decided to order 12 additional Mirage IV-A having in addition the strategic capacity; this was explained by the fact that the force Mirage IV was to remain in service at least until 1975, and that had consequently to be compensated for attrition.

	Mirages and Green Flashes
		Mirages are distinguished from other refraction phenomena such as looming (visibility of distant objects usually hidden below the apparent horizon), towering (exaggerated vertical size of images), sinking (disappearance below the horizon of objects usually seen), and stooping (images squashed together vertically), in which an object may appear distorted, but not inverted.
		Nevertheless, it is so useful to regard the classical inferior and superior mirages as approximately due to internal reflection that we cannot avoid considering that point of view — but with the caveat that certain subtle phenomena, which turn out to be essential for green flashes, are not explained by the “reflection” approach.
		Although many textbooks treat only what I might call the “classical” mirages — namely, the inferior and superior mirages — which are roughly describable in terms of total internal reflection of rays incident on a less-dense layer of air from a denser one, green flashes show that other mirage-like phenomena are equally important.
