As J Durante Would Say Stop the Motion

Aloft in the sky over Memphis
Elvis Presley's hub

I saw a sight necessitating
 my eyes to firmly rub

A passenger plane a big one
frozen plainly in sight

this sight I saw could not comprehend
trying hard as I might

The backdrop a high rise the benchmark
Serving to clearly define

This sight I was seeing I clearly saw 
and was not losing my mind

Whether glitch of the matrix
Or new avion tech

I seen what I saw 
As I said What the heck

Motion sickness can really be debilitating. :)

I wondered when writing this if the beginning would confuse as to if I was in the air Linda.I was in the passenger seat of a car and saw the plane at multiple angles never progressing beyond the building lateral to it.I have seen this twice since then but never as clearly as that day. Looked this up on YouTube and found not the only one to have seen this phenomenon.Thanks for reading and stopping by to say hi.
