In-flight meals can be unappetising at the best of times so it ’ s always a good idea to bring along some snacks if you are going to be in the air for a while . The problem is , when you ’ re confined to a little seat on a fighter jet hurtling through the clouds at the speed of sound and the pilot is holding a chocolate bar , just how can you get your hands on it ? Well a pilot and his navigator found the perfect way without having to take their eyes off the sky , and captured the moment on camera . The pilots appear to be part of the US Navy , judging by their helmets , but little is known about the origin of the video . The pilot lets go of the chocolate bar to allow the gravitational pull to transport it to his navigator . Holding a Snickers chocolate bar in his hand , the pilot lets go and allows the gravitational force to do the rest . Waiting with an outstretched arm , as the chocolate bar floats behind the pilot , the navigator reaches out and after a little bit of scrabbling manages to catch it in his hands . Throwing it back up in the air before catching it again the navigator waves the bar around in celebration and the pilot gives him the thumbs up in approval . Floating in the air , the chocolate begins its journey towards the navigator who waits with an outstretched hand . On its way : The navigator scrambles for the chocolate bar as it floats towards him and manages to catch it . The fact that it was uploaded to an empty Youtube account however has brought about speculation that the video is a commercial for Snickers . But it may just be a way for the two pilots to keep their identity a mystery while having some fun . Weightlessnes like this occurs when there are no external objects touching the chocolate bar and exerting a push or pull upon it . When in a state of free fall like the pilots , the only force acting upon the snack is gravity – a non-contact force . And since gravity can not be felt without any other opposing forces , there is no sensation of it present . Success : After catching the chocolate bar the navigator celebrates and the pilot gives him the thumbs up .
The Snickers bar is released by the pilot and floats behind him . Scrabbling in the air the navigator catches it in his hand . Pilot gives him the thumbs up as a seal of approval . Believed to be US Navy pilots judging by their helmets .
