driving home, i saw a massive plane just hovering close to the ground. it was dead still once i saw it, and it stayed there for at least 10 seconds. it wasn’t until i turned my head away and back and saw the end of it turning away at a stop light.
from a perspective, my speed was around 40 mph.
super freaky, i thought it was a new piece of architect or a balloon, but it was not.

I was in a taxi around London Heathrow airport a few years ago.
As the road curved gently to the right, it created an optical illusion with a massive A380 airliner that was off to my right… coming into land. My moving perspective made it look like the 380 was hovering. It wasn’t, of course… it was probably doing 200mph… but it looked fixed in place for at least 10 seconds before I lost sight of it.
It was weird, but I understand it. There are youtube videos of this same effect that I’ve seen since.
