Sinking boat

I don't get what you don't understand. The sinking ship effect is where ships, as they go beyond the horizon, appear to sink starting with lower most portion and as they get further away so too then goes the top as it appears to sink below the horizon. They don't just suddenly disappear. This is an expected occurrence on a round earth. Mirages don't do this. They get fuzzy and parts of them or all of them will suddenly vanish. These are two distinctly different observations.

And... One of them (sinking ship) happens everywhere, while the other (mirages) don't.

where there is sun there is mirage
where the temperature is not absolute zero there is mirage

From wikipedia:

"A superior mirage occurs when the air below the line of sight is colder than the air above it. This unusual arrangement is called a temperature inversion, since warm air above cold air is the opposite of the normal temperature gradient of the atmosphere. Passing through the temperature inversion, the light rays are bent down, and so the image appears above the true object, hence the name superior. Superior mirages 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 has no tendency to move down."

This is precisely what is happening there at Chesapeake Bay. A place know for marine layers.

darknavyseal, do not make low content posts in the upper fora.  Consider this a warning. 

in that image, the mirage seems to have worn off somehow, and the reflection reveals some sort of crafts floating above.

Are you still talking about sinking boat? We need a picture of sinking boat due to mirage that supports your claim, not an imaginary UFO (which rottingroom and I cannot see). And btw, is that picture taken from http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1mpks2/sunrise_reflected_on_a_building/?
