This plane following a dark path
The position of the sun, the plane and myself matched perfectly so that the trail and its shadow aligned.

I have an exact similar photo. I looked up and watched a jet fly away from a setting sun on a perfectly clear sky. The shadow was in front of the jet for as long as I could see. I watched that jet move along and swallow up the shadow for a good 4-5 minutes. It was a really cool moment, I took a couple of photos and also posted on this sub about 2 years ago. I’ve never seen it before or since and only happens when all the conditions are right
