I remember as a kid always being fascinated by watching the distant shimmering water that you would never catch up to. Usually seemed to occur on very hot sunny days, or any days the ground, and air near the ground, was warmer than the air above it. The best ones were when you were approaching a town and it appeared to be floating in the sky until you got close. Also seen distant herds of cattle which seemed to be floating in the sky as well.

Having grown up in western Kansas, this is something I saw thousands of times when growing up. Anyone who has lived in the high desert plains regions of the U.S., or similar terrain, will likely have seen it countless times.

BACHELORS! Everybody's talking at me.. The first time I've heard this song and for them at all was when I watched Only Fools and Horses, since then I downloaded all their stuff and I liked every single song of them I could find.

@KnAtiOn12 It's exactly the same phenomena. Only here it's very accentuated by the extreme heat on that spot and the dip in the road that makes car "dive" into it like a submarine.

"Mirages - Sixty Symbols" This will explain it. The car disappear because it went behind the bent light and the snow is the mirage of the cloud. I think.

@FirstMaje Hello! There is no "bent light" to go behind. The super-heated air above the asphalt, by its different "index of refraction" and the fact that my camera is located far and at a very low angle from the place the car goes down in the hot air pocket, makes that the light bounces off and does not let us see the car actually going down in that hot air layer. Yes, what we see instead is a reflection of the sky above us.
