Answer:

The sun has to be behind your head. You'll see the plane's shadow cast on a cloud, surrounded by a halo of light. The shadow of the plane is called a brocken spectre, and the ringed light around the shadow is called a glory. ... They're seen all the time by people traveling in airplanes.

I hope it will help you..

answer

for the  shadow to fall near you, the bird or plane would have to be close to the line directly from you to the sun.  Most of the time, the object isn't close to that line and the shadow falls a few blocks or a few miles away. Also, the higher an object is in the sky, the larger its shadow will be on the ground.  And, because of geometric optics, the shadow will be more diffuse when the object is higher in the sky.
