Meteorological Magazine (63:15, 1928) via William Corliss' 1986 Handbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena:
[Lateral or Sideways Mirages] "At 17h 5m. G.M.T. on October 11th [1927], the sun had fallen behind the Snowdon range, and the range was backed by a large golden fleecy cloud, on which was outlined a dark, well-defined shadow of Snowdon, persisting for some five or ten minutes. I find it difficult to understand how the shadow was cast in the direction of the sun, as the cloud was manifestly on the far side of the hills, the atmosphere was clear, and the eastern sky was almost cloudless. At 17h. 20m. the cloud had disappeared, and the western horizon was clear except for some distant striations, when suddenly there appeared over Crib Goch a streaky golden outline of its summit, which faded out after perhaps 15 seconds or half a minute."
