“Glitch In The Matrix” Has Plane Appearing To Stand Still In The Skies Above Chicago

by Gary Leff

Here’s video of a plane that’s going viral, appearing to show the aircraft not moving in the skies over Chicago. It’s being called ‘a glitch in the matrix’.

As opposed to, you know, an optical illusion. Maybe we know how airplanes fly but then again maybe we don’t. Noting that language in this video isn’t entirely safe for work:

@tania.draws Glitch in Matrix? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this in Chicago either #glitchinthematrix #fyp ♬ Spooky, quiet, scary atmosphere piano songs – Skittlegirl Sound

Several years ago a Bangkok Airways pilot filmed passengers streamed off a jet bridge from a plane that was not there.

As Fox Mulder learned from Dana Scully, there’s always a scientific explanation for the paranormal — no matter how implausible, In this case the jet bridge is actually empty and it’s a reflection from inside the airport.

And those something real that we can’t explain going on with UFOs, however.

  1. I’m used to planes not moving in Chicago. In my experience, that usually happens on the taxiways during the morning block take-offs. Never had the experience of not moving while in flight, though.

  2. I literally just saw something like this over St Louis MO this morning. I was going the opposite way just like this video and it seemingly was not moving. I couldn’t get a video because I was driving.
    Im not a believer of this matrix glitch crap but I know what I saw.

  3. I searched “plane not moving in the air” because I just drove past a plane and I swear it wasn’t moving at all… I am very confused about it but this video is what I saw. I saw this in the Netherlands..

  5. I’m in Detroit driving on the east side and I just saw 3 little planes in a line and they were all completely still in the sky. What in the world is going on. I wish I could have got a video of it. But I watched for at least 3 minutes at they were literally frozen in a straight line one behind the other.

  6. Me and my partner did see this in close range, a airbus, this was in Sweden Umea, the plane was in the landing zone and only about 100 meters up in the air and very close to us, it was completly still in the sky, i was scared, this is impossible, wtf is going on?
