It occurred to me that maybe Castle In The Sky (Ghibli) might have some origin (possibly) from such illusions. There was a Chinese news report of a city in the sky illusion. Here's the video, quite impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoP1sh1WXm8

The video, although reported to be from the same phenomenon is actually a fake: https://youtu.be/Xmrn2IuSW-Q

Um, “Castle in the Sky” had it’s origin in “Gulliver’s Travels”, published in 1726. Part III, a Voyage to Laputa (et al.).

And “Castles in the Sky” was about the development of radar in England.
