He thought he was on a different kind of “trip.”
An airplane passenger was left flabbergasted after spotting a bizarre luminescent sight out of his window while flying from Vietnam to Australia.
Footage of the apparent in-flight optical illusion has amassed over 14 million views on TikTok as viewers helped the traveler figure out the mystery.
“Somebody help me please,” user Brad Stewart pleaded in the caption to clip, which he filmed on a night flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Melbourne.
The mind-bending clip, taken as the plane was leaving Vietnam, shows the outside nightscape riddled with neon-colored squares, which evoke confetti at a rave or some magical holiday realm from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Stewart implored the commentariat to help him decipher the bizarre sight, writing: “Can someone please tell me what these are?”
