The more "usual" form of Mirage described in the letter N. Sitnikova from the city of Uralsk. In September 1972 she, her mother and E. Zimina, vacationing in a holiday house Kabardinka (Krasnodar Krai), seen in the sea near the boat station, "translucent of a vintage sailing ship with lowered sails".
When they came closer, the vision started to melt and then disappeared. This was repeated several days in a row.
It is possible that due to the presence in the atmosphere layer of the atmosphere with abnormal distribution of temperature and density in this case was able to see were far from the shore sail training ship.
In ancient times, like the facts as known, give food to the legends of the flying Dutchman.
