Here's the news story written shortly after:

After hours in the scorching sun, some people claimed to have seen a wobble.
Not your average scorching sun, one of those that comes after some heavy raining (astronomers favorite time to peer through their telescopes, it's when rain forces dust particles to fall down and the atmosphere is clear).
Raining meant that the ground was wet.
Scorching sun evaporates water.
Have you ever seen the refraction of light on a moving column of air?.. A mirage...
Oh right, yeah... is that a similar thing (or the same thing) to how it always looks like everything's wobbling when you see videos of a desert etc, as if it's like hot air currents coming up from the ground?
