In normal air, light from the ground simply spreads out into space. Outside its range, where the earth curves away, there is darkness and no strange phenomena.
Diagram· p.259· FBI

In normal air, light from the ground simply spreads out into space. Outside its range, where the earth curves away, there is darkness and no strange phenomena.

With a temperature inversion, light bends in refracting layer of air. A ray of light will thus be seen in areas far distant from its source. Labels show WARM AIR, REFRACTING AIR LAYER, COLD SURFACE.
