I have seen this hundreds of times on my way to work passing Frankfurt airport.
It's an illusion.
Your focus on the plane, the movement of the plane and the movement of your car cancel out the movement of the background.
Just stop and you will realize the illusion.
Exactly right. The heavy's are only doing around 135kts with a head wind, the offset speed of the vehicle moving plus the size of the aircraft equals an illusion imo.
2:42. That thing is dead ass still. It wouldn't move away from the trees if it was in motion.
Okay. So why does it stay over the same set of trees?
Because thats the point where both objects "rotate" around. It will be closer to the plane because the plane is faster, but not directly below the plane.
edit: actually it should be closer to the slower object.
Here's something a little different. Doesn't prove anything in this vid just fuckin weird.

Still does not explain why it's moving away from the objects its going towards.
