Campbell, Steuart

From Philosopedia

Campbell, Steuart (20th Century)

Campbell, a rationalist, is author of The Loch Ness Monster (1991) and The UFO Mystery Solved (1994). He makes the case for an “Astronomical Mirage Hypothesis,” that a celestial body (for example, a planet) that is just below the horizon is not, in fact, invisible, but is visible by means of atmospheric refraction which causes the light from it to be “bent.” As a result, the celestial body presents itself as being above the horizon briefly and moving rapidly.
