Description: The upper frame is inferior mirage of Farallon Islands, the second frame is no miraged Farallon Islands with green flash on the left hand side. The two lower frames and the main frame is Superior Mirage of Farallon Islands. The superior mirage was going from 3-image mirage (Inverted image between erect ones) to 5-image mirage and to 2-image mirage. Such display is consistent with Fata Morgana. All frames except the upper one were photographed from about 50-70 feet above sea level. The upper frame was photographed from the sea level. The interval between the first and the last frames of the superior mirage was 6 minutes.
