Watching a ship sailing upside down

[mickeyJ]

The title above is true, its not a wind-up. I was neither drunk, delusional,
standing on my head or having a cocaine trip.

It was a warm sunny afternoon, the sea was as smooth as glass and I
believe we were in the Pacific.

We saw this ship plainly upside down, about ten miles away on our starboard side,
on the same heading and the same speed as we were.

The ship and its illusion stayed with us all afternoon and created quite a bit
of excitement. No one on board had seen anything like it before.

Has anyone seen or heard of a similar phenomenon?

[Captain Kong]

Yes.

Sounds wierd but then strange things happen at Sea!
Must have been very facinating indeed!
Cheers

[Captain Kong]

Any egg head will tell you it is reflection and refraction. If you want further clarification find an egg head. Or have another tot. Cheers John Sabourn

[Doc Vernon]

Another Tot may do the trick John,but dont need an Egghead! They are sometimes more hardboiled!
