People think there's a 'glitch in the matrix' after plane appears not to move in sky

A TikTok user posted a video of a plane that seems to have just stopped mid-air which has left a lot of people with a few questions...

The 10-second clip, which was posted to the video-sharing platform last month, shows a plane hovering in the sky while the user, who goes by the name of Tania, is driving under it.

"WTF," read the overlay text as a spooky tune played in the background.

Alongside the short video, Tania added the caption: "Glitch in Matrix? This isn't the first time I've seen this in Chicago either," which provoked other users to comment their thoughts on what was happening.

Have a look for yourselves:

"Stuff is starting to happen, strange things. Mark my words the government is planning something. I just don’t know what yet. Just something," one user commented while another agreed with Tania's observation writing: "Can’t no plane just sit in idle... yeah definitely a glitch."

"I would’ve had to pull over & get out to make sure I was seeing this correctly…. This is wicked lol," a third added.

And the comments didn't stop there with other users also sharing their personal experiences on the matter too.

"I saw one like this in KY, after I drove under it, u turned back to look and it was gone out of the sky," commented this user.

Another had a similar experience, writing that it made them think they were going "crazy': "My daughter and I seen one a month ago or so, we thought we were going crazy."

However, others were quick to debunk the theory, stating that simple physics can do all of the explaining.

This user questioned: "Have you heard of the relativity of motion?"

On a similar note, this TikToker also added: "Physics really be messing y’all up."

According to Brightstorm, the motion of any object is "only meaningful when given relative to something else."

"Relativity in motion assures us that the laws of Physics don't vary depending on how much inertia an object has. This is important because everything has some amount of inertia. Standing on the surface of the earth, we feel that we are not in motion, but because the earth is moving, so are we. If we measure the speed of a ball thrown atop a train, we can either measure the speed of the ball with respect to the train s motion or with respect to the motion of the Earth."

"It’s clearly moving, but slowly and because the [car] is accelerating it looks more stationary," this user stated.

"They do this all the time in L.A... sometimes it be too many planes on the landing strip they gotta wait," another chimed in with an alternative explanation.

Either way, the clip was hella spooky, right?

Let's just hope we're not in a simulation because I don't think my faint heart can handle it.
