If you want to shoot a laser at a Fata Morgana, just aim straight at it. It’s not really there, but the path the laser takes will be the same one the light reaching your eyes takes. The thing floating in the sky is an illusion, but illusions are made of light. So, if you’re ever faced with some kind of frightening illusory phantom, just remember this handy optics rule: If you can see it, you can shoot it with a laser.
