Days earlier, several cruise ships were also seen "hovering" above the waters off the coast of Paignton, Devon At that time BBC meteorologist David Braine described as a "superior mirage", which were common in the Arctic but happened only "very rarely" in the UK. A superior mirage is one in which the image appears to be located above the real object, caused when the air below the line of sight is colder, and therefore denser, than the air above it.It results in the light rays bending downwards as they pass through the so-called 'temperature inversion'.
