Obelix Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's kind of depressing that people jump like a lemming to an erroneous and wooly conclusion I agree. The image seen is a superior mirage.. http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/elements/supmrge.htm For examples of another one in China of quite stunning quality, see. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/photo/2006-05/08/content_583947.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullBean Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 'Huangshan city mirage in a nutshell, just a winning combination of bad translation and sensationalist reporting.' http://auki.posterous.com/huangshan-city-mirage-fail ' the 'floating' buildings suspended in mist above the river as described by the majority of news sites are actually nothing more than the buildings which are already currently in existence as seen THROUGH the fog, the 'floating' trees are explained by nothing more mysterious than the river having swollen and flooded low lying ground.' Its not even a hoax, its just wrong. Only a total moron would consider it to be anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm quite frankly surprised the OP hasn't started mentioning the USS Eldridge yet ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vResistance Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think it is a simple case of it being mistranslated - I've seen similar effects loads of times. I think for once we agree on something Longcol...mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 They are all alien spacecraft cunningly disguised to look like houses and buildings. Get ready because "they" are heeeeere ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esme Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 it's perfectly obvious what it is it's Atlantis which didn't sink into the sea taking it's culture and learning with it as we've all been told the Illuminati fitted it with antigravity engines and flew it away because they wanted a nice beachfront property near the shops with a good view of the gardens of Shangri La periodically they need to bring it back and recharge the cold fusion batteries on a convenient ley line they do this in the daytime when it's misty so no one sees they used to use Stonehenge but there are too many tourists nowadays and you don't get the mists you used to since the clean air act was passed, but china still has lots of coal fire power stations so they usually get a decent smog see there is a perfectly reasonable explanation all you have to do is open your mind to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vResistance Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 This was reported in the Mail Online a few weeks ago. As someone else has already pointed out, it's simply the result of mistranslation. Nothing to do with a mirage at all. The buildings are exactly where they appear to be. There's a site (can't be bothered to find it again....) that shows the same views without the mists. Cheers. Yes 'illusion' was probably a better way to describe it than mirage. Any chance you could find the pictures ? seems a lot of people have got carried away by it and we could help them back to earth. I've looked but can't find any without the mist ,so far.

Seems they were fooled also by the ITN report (in OP) It also seems it has been done to decieve intentionally,more than just a mistranslation of the old lady. Unless it was released on April 1st I can't see why they would do such a thing. Any Ideas ? (assuming the city isn't a mirage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
