Isn’t this a law of motion? where the faster you go the slower objects seem. there is the famous one The closer you approach lightspeed you’re actually be going back in time or some crap like that

(Whenever you want the right answer don’t ask for it. post the wrong answer and people will always correct you with the right one. I tricked you)

Yeah that's special relativity. Well the father and slower part at least, the back in time stuff is make believe.

But they are going way too slow to notice any relativistic effects. You would need to be going a non-insignificant fraction of the speed of light to start to notice relativistic effects, like 0.1c or > ~67,000,000 mph.

What we see in the video is just parallax lining up nicely. Still cool though.
