The Case Of The ‘Flying Ship’ Happened During A British Man’s Trip To Scotland And He Took An Iconic Photo To Intrigue Internet Users

The British man Colin McCallum was traveling through the Banff region in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, when an unusual sight on the horizon caught his eye: a ship “floating in the sky” and, of course, he didn’t miss the opportunity to take a photo and publish it online to intrigue internet users.

This incident, although unusual, is quite simple to explain: the very similar coloration between the sky and the sea, in a large area with few distinct clouds, made it seem as though the large ship was stationary, or rather, “floating” among the clouds, because at the distance Colin was, it was not possible to clearly see the horizon line that “separates” the sky from the sea.

This phenomenon is considered an optical illusion. This effect is a mirage that causes humans to see something that does not exist or in a distorted way, according to what the brain perceives while capturing what is being viewed.

Another similar case was recorded in 2020 in New Zealand.
