This short video was posted to YouTube on Wednesday by a user who knew exactly what caused the illusion.
"Snapchat I took of a rare Fata Morgana Mirage at Cocoa Beach, FL," wrote YouTuber Friends N Feeders, who then linked to the explanation of a Fata Morgana. Wikipedia offers up the technicals: rays of light are bent when they pass through air layers of different temperatures in a steep thermal inversion where an atmospheric duct has formed. But almost more interesting is its history: named for sorceress Morgan le Fay of King Arthur legend, these mirages were once believed to lure sailors to their deaths.
While the Cocoa Beach mirage is short and sweet, there are better examples of a Fata Morgana online. Especially good is this nice sharp one from 2010, which shows a sailboat really cruising along, apparently in thin air.
Watch it long enough and you'll inevitably have your attention drawn to the GIANT APPLE on the beach. The poster says that's from a TV commercial being filmed that day. Or maybe that's what Morgan le Fay wants you to think.
