Same thing happens on Lake Michigan. Robert Greenler describes how residents of Grand Haven, Michigan, were able to see the lights of Milwaukee, seventy-five miles away. The fact that it really was Milwaukee was confirmed by timing the flashing of a red light visible in the mirage, and then phoning Milwaukee to confirm that the frequency matched one of the markers at the entrance to Milwaukee harbour.

Gee, that took a while.
That was on the front page last week. http://www.cleveland.com/cuyahoga/pl...920.xml&coll=2 I think it only came out because of the anniversary, not because it's some Earth shattering concept.

I can't speak for Andromeda or NEOWatcher, but I have never seen the effect. It's so hazy lately that you can't even tell where the horizon is.

On a clear day it should be entirely possible... the problem is... when is there a clear day?

And another local source.
My guess is they don't read the paper since they got it off the AP.

I often go to the roof of one of the CWRU university buildings which is conveniently the tallest in the immediate area, and often lose myself in the lovely view which includes Lake Erie (a few miles away). Sometimes you think there's something on the edge of it, but that's usually in the middle of winter so I've always assumed it was either some ice or the shadow of a cloud.
