The Walking Dead had fans on the edge of their seat on Sunday night.

And it seems like a few diehards scrutinized the episode so much that they noticed something very interesting.

Many took to Twitter to note that an object could be seen flying behind Rick Grimes in a crucial scene of the latest episode.  

In the latest episode titled New Best Friends, there was a scene featuring the Scavengers and a junkyard.

Just when it seemed like the group had a little bit of time to breathe, something that resembled a plane could be seen flying in the background.

It remains unclear what it actually was and whether it was on purpose or an error in editing but it should be noted that Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is considered the busiest airport in the world.

Viewers were quick to notice this mysterious object where they took to Twitter to write about it.

One user wrote: 'Anyone else see the plane flying behind Rick after he killed the beast? #TheWalkingDead #TalkingDead'

Whether it was a mistake or intentional, no one from the show has said anything about it yet.

As for how things went in the most recent episode, Daryl and Carol reunited, but it came with a difficult choice for Daryl on what's been happening with Negan.

While Negan has been killing people, Daryl decided to lie to Carol about it; Norman Reedus (Daryl), 48, spoke to Entertainment Weekly on why his character did this.

Reunited: The episode had a big moment when Daryl (Norman Reedus) visited Carol (Melissa McBride) to talk to her about Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)

'She needs to hear that,' Norman said. 'She's going through her own thing and there's a reason why she separated herself and doesn't want to be a killer anymore.'

'And she's losing herself, and I think Daryl realizes that. It's a very selfless act.'

'He tells her what she needs to hear to keep going. He does it for her.' 

'He wants revenge:' The actor told Entertainment Weekly that his character is thirsty for vengeance and 'wants to kill people'

The Walking Dead airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
