What Caused This Mysterious City In The Sky Phenomenon?

Here is a brief intro on optical illusions from wikipedia although we don’t know if this is one!

An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is one which shows images that differ from normal reality.

The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception. That is normal, but in these cases the appearance does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.

There are three main types of visual illusion:

  1. literal optical illusions that create images which are different from the objects that make them

  2. physiological illusions: they are the effects on the eyes and brain of over-stimulation of brightness, colour, size, position, tilt, movement

  3. cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences (brain makes the wrong decision).

What do you think?  Feel free to comment with your ideas on what caused this strange phenomenon.

    Not to mention it happened in two different cities…. My guess is chalk it up to Chinese censorship. They rule or try to rule their internet with an iron fist.

    The video is very short, but if you watch carefully you can actually see the part of the city that is being reflected in the clouds. Now why there’s no footage of the second phenomenon, I don’t know.
