Bingo!
Lake Michigan, 130 kilometers away:

According to wikipedia's formula...

...the drop should be 1.3 km, that is to say 1300 meters. No way that you could see the lights, so they had to write an article explaining it away:
http://blogs.woodtv.com/2012/05/10/very-rare-mirage-at-grand-haven/
Sure! The lights are "bouncing off a temperature inversion"! Why didn't I think of it before? It's like a frisbee that bounces on water, if you throw it the right way.
The fact is that this journalist might be in good faith, because he could find no other way of explaining the event (the other explanation being that there was great visibility and the earth is flat). He might be in good faith but still wrong, because the "temperature inversion" mistakenly refers to the Fata Morgana, which has a description, even on wikipedia, different from what we see (cf.pictures as well):

Horizon calculator, for anyone wondering how raising the camera might affect the calculations:

So... no Fata Morgana, no offsetting from camera height and yet we see no evidence of the earth's curvature.
Yuk! You guys have been brainwashed so deeply that no one even raises this objection.
It is evident that NASA is a fraud, from the Moon Landing to the ISS interviews to the satellites... google it. You will find plenty of videos that show it is all a fraud. Yet, the brainwashing has been so deep that the objections I raise will be discarded by everyone without even checking anything.
What a disgusting world. This is not what I had expected. A world that says one thing and does another. A world that seems to promote truth and intelligence and instead promotes lies and stupidity.

Usually, of course, you can’ t see Milwaukee because the Earth is curved and Milwaukee’s tallest buildings are below the horizon. However, once in a VERY great while, the lights of Milwaukee will bounce off a temperature inversion and then become visible along the lakeshore here in Michigan.

In an inversion, the normal pattern is reversed, and distant objects are instead stretched out or appear to be above the horizon, leading to the phenomenon known as a Fata Morgana or mirage.

A Fata Morgana is an unusual and complex form of superior mirage that is seen in a narrow band right above the horizon.
