The Cross Sound Ferry M/V Susan Anne, left, appears to hover as it is seen passing (at a great distance) behind a fishing boat on Long Island Sound as seen from Niantic, Wednesday, April 6, 2016. The Susan Anne and the fishing boat are visually obscured by optical illusion called an inferior mirage and is caused by the bending of light waves by differences in air temperature near the water.
