Cool video. I've read about similar phenomena occurring in different locations, such as the Great Lakes area.

A superior mirage occurs when the air below the line of sight is colder than that above. This is called a temperature inversion, since it does not represent the normal equilibrium temperature gradient of the atmosphere. Since in this case the light rays are bent down, the image appears above the true object, hence the name superior. They are in general less common than inferior mirages, but when they do occur they tend to be more stable, as cold air has no tendency to move up and warm air no tendency to move down.

Superior images can be straight up or upside down, depending on the distance of the true object and the temperature gradient. Often the image appears as a distorted mixture of up and down parts.

This is what I was going to look up and post.

His 186-pound tumor is record-breaking, but the size of his smile is what's really remarkable about Nguyen Duy Hai.
The 31-year-old Vietnamese man has had a tumor growing on his right leg since soon after he was born.
Despite having an amputation at the knee 14 years ago, he still has a growth wider than three feet.
"I can't do anything; I can only sit and lie down," he said in his home in the town of Da Lat in the country's Central Highlands.
The tumor is the largest ever documented in Vietnam, Vu Van Thach, head of examination department of Hanoi hospital, told German press agency DPA.

Hai's family are too poor to afford another operation after the amputation in 1997 failed to stop the growth, and now he is appealing for funds to afford medical help.
The tumor is non-cancerous and could be due to a genetic mutation, doctor Vu Van Thach said.
"If it was malignant he would not be alive now," he said.
