Yet Another Ghostly 'Floating City' Over China Sparks Fears That CERN's LHC May Have Opened Inter-Dimensional Portal To 'Parallel Universe' [Video]

But meteorologists have dismissed the conspiracy theory claims, saying that the latest incident in China, like the previous, is a natural phenomenon, an optical illusion called Fata Morgana.

According to Chinese media reports, the floating city mirage seen along the port of Dalian during daylight hours looked like a "fairy city" floating over water. Witnesses watched the "fairy city" with eerie towering structures for several minutes before it disappeared.

The sighting in Dalian follows the October, 2015, sighting of a ghostly city in the sky (see video) with towering skyscrapers by thousands of stunned residents of the city of Foshan in central Guangdong province. The sighting, which lasted only a few minutes, caused excitement because it came very soon after a similar sighting was reported in the southeast Jiangxi province of the country.

Other sightings were reported in Hastings, England, and California in the U.S. (see video below).

Conspiracy theorists fear that opening a portal into another dimension could have catastrophic consequences for the world.

But other conspiracy theorists insist that the reports of "floating cities" from around the world could be a sign that the Illuminati elite are close to implementing the much-anticipated Project Blue Beam deception.

Conspiracy theorists say that the sightings could be tests of the latest Project Blue Beam technology to see how people around the world would react when the New World Order (NWO) elites move to implement their sinister agenda.

Project Blue Beam, according to Serge Monast, a Quebecois conspiracy theorist, is a plan to take over the world by using holographic image projection technology to simulate the second coming of Christ. Some versions of the theory claim that the NWO elite will simulate an alien invasion.

But Scott C. Waring, editor of the UFO conspiracy theory blog, UFO Sightings Daily, has speculated that the phenomenon might be linked to aliens and UFOs.

"Did aliens construct a mothership that looks just like a Chinese city?" he wondered. "It's a reflection off of a cloaked mothership. Yes, sometimes the cloak of a UFO can reflect like a mirror, and here it is doing just that."

"I have seen a UFO in the blue sky near a white cloud, but the UFO looked white, because its cloak was reflecting the color of the cloud," he added.

But meteorologists have dismissed the conspiracy theory claims, saying that the "floating city" can be explained as a natural phenomenon called Fata Morgana.

A fata morgana is a naturally occurring optical illusion on land or sea due to the inversion and distortion of light rays from objects at sea -- such as boats and ships or structures on coastlines -- passing through layers of air with different temperatures.
