The “Bird Man” video is a hoax, the author admits

by 12 comments

If you’ve spent any time on the internet over the past few days, you may have stumbled upon a certain video of a guy who succeeds at flying like a bird with a set of custom-built wings. There were plenty of debates over the authenticity of the viral clip, but now we have an official confirmation that it’s merely a hoax.

The author himself spoke on a Dutch TV show and revealed the truth about the video. It took 8 months to make and was meant to be an experiment about online media. It’s yet another proof you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the internet, even if multiple sources have confirmed it.

So, we are sorry to bring it to you, but we won’t be getting to fulfill the dream of flying like a birds for now. Oh what the hell, the future belongs to the jetpacks anyway.
