Usually, passengers pass the time on a flight by watching movies, listening to music, or simply sleeping. And there are those who just observe the flight from the window. However, one of the passengers was puzzled by what he saw and asked for help.

Brad Stewart (@brad..stewart1572), a passenger on a flight from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to Melbourne (Australia), even posted a video on TikTok asking users to explain what he saw. He captioned the video emotionally: "Someone help me, please. Can someone tell me what this is?"

Users were so fascinated by this video that it garnered 15 million views, and in the comments, people shared their interpretations of what they thought it could be.

The video shows the night sky dotted with bright little squares and rectangles. Many people said it looked like confetti. Others suggested it was "notes" or a "bowling mat". And someone even referred to it as a "matrix glitch".

However, there were also serious followers who explained what they saw. This is a view of dragon fruit farms. After all, it is in Vietnam where they are usually grown. At night, farmers turn on LED lamps to extend the growing season of the plants. The lamps make the fruit grow bigger and faster, which increases the harvest yield.

Brad was surprised and said: "Wow, that's crazy, thank you!!!"

But users noted that even though they knew what it was, they still continued to see nothing more than pieces of confetti.
