Total Lunar Eclipse This Wednesday Morning. Oct. 8, 2014. Your Visibility May Differ

As this article points out, the Moon will be visible at the same time as the Sun, before or after the eclipse...I need to double-check that statement...

But I was wondering about mirages as the cause of "the ability to see" the Moon and the Sun at the same time of the day, in the morning or the late afternoon.
