Now Here’s Something We’ve Never Seen.

The great thing about the web, and also what makes it not so great, is that you find things that you’d never even think of. You come across stories and videos you’ve never seenĀ or heard and never thought were really possible. Although this is just a trick of the light in this video, it’s still pretty incredible because we never thought you could see such a thing from the cockpit.

Looking at the footage, you see a bunch of clouds out in the horizon when a small shadow appears ahead. It gets bigger very fast and takes shape of a jetliner, only to disappear once they went through the cloud. That happens a couple of times. According to the description of the video, the flight was headed to Denver with the sun being behind and due east of the plane. That’s what created this illusion.

Check it out below. It’s pretty trippy.

Awesome video from @acrojet 惻惻惻 Had the sun directly behind us east of Denver- check out how our shadow looks like a jet coming right at us-pretty cool. ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ #avpic #avgeek #avpics #avgeeks #aviation #crew #cockpit #flight #flying #instapilot #instaplane #installation #aviation #jet #justaviation #plane #planes #pilot #instaplane #spotter #airplane #crewlife #pilotlife #pilotview #instagramaviation #aircrew #airlines #flightdeck
