Aliens Caught On Camera As 68 Score Wingsuit Skydiving Record
ALL over the internets pictures of “68 specially-qualified wingsuit skydivers” setting the “official US record for Wingsuit Formation Skydiving”.
It was in aide of Raise the Sky, an LA charity that wants to keep children in school.
But look again at the picture. There are not 68 parachutes. There are 70. Who are the other two skydivers? And why is one of them so tiny?
1. The 68 - this picture taken from the official website.

Thanks for the explanation John. I have always wondered why aeroplanes look smaller when they are up in the sky but was afraid to ask in case I looked stupid

What precision and to think they are up there in all that air.

You mean you actually counted these, Anorka?

Hi,
The two “aliens” in the picture are the camera flyers for the record event, taking both video and still pictures As such, they are not included in the count of record participants. They are flying above the actual formation so that’s why they appear “tiny” when photographed from below.

They aren’t parachutes for one, they are skydivers in freefall using wingsuits to minimize their downward velocity, translating it into forward velocity. And the record was 68 wingsuited skydivers in formation. The other two are wingsuit skydivers with cameras attached to their helmet. When you accomplish something like this, its nice to get it on film to prove and remember it. The reason they look smaller is the same reason airplanes look smaller in the sky than on the ground, they are farther away from the person who took this picture, in this case, higher up than the formation. This information comes from a skydiver, myself.

1 - No too far-fetched. Why would a midget alien have a camera?

Nope, its my friend Rhiannon and her cat Tobias on her besom, she said it was heavy low flying traffic up there
