Not long ago:
Bob saw mountains flying over Vermont.
This is true in at least two interpretation: I was flying my airplane
at an altitude of about 1 km and I saw actual mirages of actual
mountains. (A fairly rare sight in the North East -- I reported it to
a delighted weather man.) I also saw actual mountains on the ground,
as they are supposed to be.
The challenge: state both interpretations in one Lojban utterance. Be
sure to indicate the appropriate veridical natures of things.
