Last week @SRHawk mentioned something about parallax playing a role in some UAP sightings… and I think this is a good example. White object almost looks like it’s hovering or tracking along with us. It’s not, but the broken cloud layer just above our aircraft make it look that way due to their relative proximity. The white “object” is actually Air France 777-200LR (flight 6722) that is ~12k feet above us and going ~400 knots in the opposite direction. Figured I would post this up because it seemed like a good example of the effect.

So about Hurricane Trudy… I have seen better circulation in a clogged toilet. Time lapse of first pass:
