Iyyov: If you think about it, what you see is always real (unless you are on drugs, or dreaming). A rainbow is impossible to catch, as it is always relative to the observer's position. Thus, a rainbow can be chased over a bridge, or can chase/follow you over a bridge, but it cannot be grasped. The double-rainbow, and the extremely rare and elusive triple rainbow are all very similar. But, you can often tell the fakes on the Internet just by knowing a little physics. Then when you look at supposed rainbow photos on the Net, it is amazing how many are fake.
The mirage you spoke about is real too. Differences in air density over any heated terrain or landscape will give this effect. It is real, it is just that it looks like a really messed up telescope, or pair of binoculars.
The sky does meet the earth, in many many respects. Space is considered to be "empty", but it isn't. Sunlight impacts the earth continuously, as do meteors, comet dust, etc. But no, the little green men haven't arrived yet, but I am quite certain that they do exist (maybe not green, but different than us, and definitely extra-terrestrial).
Sunsets are real, although the sun never literally sets, just one's particular view of the sun changes, relative to time and the seasons.
Shadows exist. etc....
So, I'd say examine the things that you're talking about more closely, and you'll see more than just what meets the eye. (Stick your arm in the water, and don't be surprised when it bends in an impossible place and direction!)
Shalom, Iyyov
I've seen loads of double rainbows and a few triple. , when you come from a country where it rains almost every day ya it's a certainty you'll see stuf like that.
What was really weird was something else, the drive to work was sometimes atop the clouds with nothing to see but the tops of tall trees..it was actually really dense very low lying fog but the most surreal feeling ever..
Another one was seeing the trees breathing, again on the way to work very early morning, clear sky and a faint plume of breath-like cloud , similar to your breath on a very cold day...if you didnt' look closely you'd almost miss it.....
Lots of interesting stuff out there in the natural world if only people just took a moment to stop and look...
Tupac, Michael Jackson, Elvis, have supposed to have been seen, even though they don't exist as they allegedly have passed on, to a better world, but ???????.
