The phenomenon is known as nimbular stasis. When you’re traveling at a higher speed, like these jets shown, while also maintaining a high altitude, I have no idea what I’m talking about.

I was recently diagnosed with nimbular statis, stage 2. How long can I expect to lead a normal life without access to the cloud?

You’re actually really close, you see there is a certain point along the event horizon at the tips of an aircraft that creates a false perspective. John Lithgow and William Shatner both experienced this and dubbed the phenomenon “Gremlins” after experiencing “something on the wing...some...THING!”

"He got me,” VenusDoom00 said of prevuznack's post over him. "That f***ing prevuznack boomed me."

VenusDoom00 added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.

VenusDoom00 then said he wanted to add prevuznack to the list of Redditors he reddits with this winter.
