Social media was in overdrive last night after the shadow of an aeroplane was seen flying backwards on the broadcast of The French Open.

During a break in play between Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens, a mysterious shadow appeared on the court which had people puzzled and pretty terrified.

So what’s the deal? Is it magic? Is it a a UFO? Is it a reflection? …Nope, it’s just wire-cam.

The official sponsor of the Roland Garros wire camera is none other than Emirates Airlines, who have attached a model plane above the camera for branding purposes. As the wire-cam travels backwards, the plane looks like it’s traveling backwards as well.
