Everything expressed in this video is of my own opinion based on my 3 years of observations. Visibility is the key but there are optical effects that happen beyond the visible water. One key factor is looming and where it might begin at. Other optical effects is mirroring that is always present over land or water and it makes objects appear to get pulled into it. I also think this mirroring water acts as a ramp which hides objects and cuts them off. There are combinations of effects that occur that causes different effects.The sun isn’t really where it appears and it may be a projected light source from outside our realm.
I will continue to provide more evidence to these optical effects.
