Ghost city appears above Xin'an River
 

* City appears over Chinese river
* Residents think it's a "vortex"
* Scientists say it's a great mirage

IT looks like any other city skyline with skyscrapers, a few mountains and trees - except it isn't real.

Personally I am full of skepticism about it all...

pretty amazing :) I'm surprised there is not more people watching from the bridge.

interesting....

the matrix program is failing and alternate realities are starting to seep into each other

Amazing.

A scientist explanation:

nice, wouldn't mind a mirage like that popping up my window :)

Truly amazing :thumbsup

truth is out there...

if thats a mirage its the most complex mirage of all time.
please note here normal mirages, water, black shapes in the distance etc-

In the video the camera moves but the mirage remains completely unchanged.
If you've ever seen a mirage in the desert when you move right to left or forward to back the mirage changes noticeably, but that thing is the same from a variety of angles.

i don't know, its pretty amazing. do those buildings exist somewhere near there in order to create some kind of mirror reflection?
or, the whole story is a complete hoax.

Would have been nice if they had shown what the area looks like without the mirage.

Why no video footage of it fading away?? entire news article is heresay..

This is a real cloud photo, not one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion of it being by natural means, and I have the whole last 10 days on time lapse camera 1 shot per minute, looks awesome and has many great shots like this..
