Another short, effortless video! Here's a small boat I tracked with a not quite level camera, disappearing into the inferior mirage with distance, being obstructed optically due to upward refraction. Or maybe it is going over the curve of the Earth. Or maybe some of each? Whatever it looks like to you! Camera height was a little more than a meter, if that helps anyone. I couldn't see the top of the boat in my viewfinder anymore at the end, even though it was still barely visible.
