In an interview with People he revealed that he noticed this optical illusion as the plane was landing while he was gazing out of the window. Initially, he was recording the beautiful scenery before spotting the unusual occurrence.

According to Jacaranda FM during flights, planes can encounter headwinds and tailwinds. Tailwinds, coming from behind the aircraft, can speed up the journey, while headwinds have the opposite effect, slowing the plane down. In some cases, strong headwinds can create the illusion of a stationary plane in the sky when it's actually moving very slowly.

Another possible explanation is the Parallax illusion, which occurs due to changes in the viewer's perspective. This intriguing video reminds us that even the most perplexing optical illusions often have a logical basis in science.
