There are a few that kind of theories. You are probably referring to the Optical Acceleration Cancellation theory[1]. There are some similar later so called "direct perception" theories too.

The problem with these is that they don't really work, often even in theory. People do seem to predict at least some aspects of the trajectory, although not necessarily the whole trajectory [2].
