UFO

There's more in the air these days than birds. I spotted this machine flying over Esquimalt Lagoon a few days ago. It seems like a cross between a kite and airplane since the man is suspended from what appears to be a giant wing and has a propeller attached to his back on a harness. It looks like fun though it makes a lot of noise. If any reader knows what this thing is called please inform me.

My barber, who has been busy building his own house for the last three years, had this as a hobby a few years back. Great fun apparently.

One name is paraglider.

I'd have said paraglider as well. That's what it feels like.

I've seen some of these on Cape Cod too, buzzing over the beaches. Looks like fun but I would be afraid to crash...
