It is caused by a certain set of atmospheric conditions similar to the illusion of an oasis in the desert.

The ship is actually beyond the horizon. It can be seen because the atmospheric conditions refract the light coming from it, making appear it is floating above the earth. As mentioned above, a desert mirage appears by the same mechanism.

I wonder if I have witnessed a similar thing. Had yet another injection into my left eye, to combat AMD (Age -related Macular Degeneration), However, this time, when I got back home, I could see a black circular blob at the bottom of my left eye vision, nothing like the 'shadow' associated with AMD. The blob seemed to be floating about 6 inches in front of me. After two days, the blob disappeared. I seem to recall that 'Floaters' can be experienced with AMD, or the injection treatment. Can it be 'Age -related'?, as I am only 85.

What you saw was a bubble from the injection. At least that is what the dr told me. Perfectly round ruled out anything else. Should go away in a day or two. I have experienced the same thing.
