I've taken some amazing photos, like the one here showing two large striped orbs in a single photo. But the account below might be about something stranger than I've ever seen or photographed. On page 403 to 404 of the 1895 document here, we have this account:
"About five o'clock on the afternoon of an early July day we suddenly perceived, rising above the glacier, over in the direction of Mount Fairweather, what at first appeared to be a thin, misty cloud. It soon became clearer, and we distinctly saw a spectral city moving toward us. We could plainly see houses, well-defined streets, and trees. Here and there rose tall spires over huge buildings, which appeared to be ancient mosques and cathedrals. It was a large city, one which would contain at least one hundred thousand inhabitants. I have seen Milwaukee miraged over Lake Michigan, and this city appeared considerably larger than that. It did not look like a modern city —more like an ancient European city. I noticed particularly the immense height of the spires. Of course we were much excited. The Indians who were with us were overcome by their superstitious fear and ran away. We both had cameras and separated in order to take it from different points of view. By the time we reached points of vantage it had grown fainter and soon disappeared. I should say the spectacle lasted about twenty-five minutes."
The account reminds me of a "floating city" reported in 2015 in China, one that appeared in a widely seen video. My post here describes the case.
