Yardreamer Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I remember flying on the west coast of Vancouver Island (Next land Asia) and on one rare summer day the atmosphere effect combined with the water condition actually produced a no horizon effect. Clear day no wind or haze, conditions were just rite and wham flying in a totally light blue environment and believe me it is worse than total darkness simply due to your mind set is on it already being dark. Suddenly instant vertigo in the middle of clear cloudless day. Scared the crap out of me, I have read about it and has actually been the cause of pilot error. Strange strange feeling and goes to remind a person allways keep your S*** wired tight when flying cause there is nothing simple about it and dangerous anomalies happen in a heartbeat.

Dreamer Scary but great story. I can understand such a situation now - even in front of the computer it feels confusing. Could this be an "Amelia Earhart" effect?
