Looming Caused by Atmospheric Refraction Downwards
This happens usually over a large water body. For example, a ship sailing on the sea appears to be suspended in mid-air as shown in the figure above.
Looming occurs due to refraction and total internal reflection of light at various layers.
Looming can also be considered as a type of mirage.
