Aeroplane stuck in the air illusion - Parallax

Found a video of a woman driving by and seeing a plane that is "stuck in the air." The video is only a few seconds long and it's from TikTok, I couldn't read any of the comments as I do not have a TikTok account so I'm not sure what the people are suggesting.





It looks to be some sort of illusion, I mean if the car is moving and the plane is steadily moving, I'd assume that some illusion of motion (or rather lack there of) was created. I'm not sure how this would occur though.
 
Ah, I see, that makes sense, after seeing this I decided to google it and found this

Seems to be case solved, thank you for clarifying :)

"Just the plane" excerpt of this video, against the sky it is clearly moving:
