Hello, there is a radio control airplane kit with a name like Flying Super Hero that is shaped like a human body about 5 to 6 feet long with limbs that flutter with the dynamics of flight. You can see it here: At the distance they're talking about it would look like a person - and I would be curious to know if they thought the person hit the trees or was it actually trees? I guess it is actually called RCSuperHero.

Nobody has mentioned the possibility of a jumper wearing a wingsuit. It would explain the angled, head-first flight, and due to the false horizon caused by the trees he/she could have been out of sight well before hitting the ground, still in time for a low-altitude parachute opening.

I’d have thought any (conscious) person falling would instinctively try to land on their feet, not their head. Especially a trained skydiver, who would know to land ‘feet and knees together’ no matter what. Even an untrained person would surely avoid landing on his head, assuming he was conscious.

My top 3 ideas, in order, are:

1. Mistaken witnesses
2. Wingsuit stunt
3. Hoax (dropped dummy, collected by somebody at drop zone, etc, etc)

Yeah FunkyBunky, it does sound like something out of The Sopranos.

And interesting point Dib.

This reminds me of another incident. Does anyone remember people in Florida finding the body of a young woman in a black dress, who had evidently fallen from a great height, though there were no buildings near by?

This was some years ago and I never heard or saw anything else about it.

A falling body that nobody saw land and a landed body that nobody saw fall.

Weird.

Possible magic trick?

Could have been a drug lord making his drop with drugs bundled up in a jumpsuit, therefore finding no evidence of anything found after making a pickup.

Someone from another site said:
“Man was thrown from a plane and there was someone on the ground to collect the body to take elsewhere. I really have no idea. Strange.”

I agree.

Quite simple. A mob hit. Poor bloke probably went on a plane ride and got dumped off. I’ve read that area where the body supposedly was seen falling into is swampy too, so if the person landed in that, he probably punched right through it.

Sounds like something straight out of the Sopranos! Although Tony usually pushed them over boats not out of planes.
