“Brother, he is jumping in a f—ing parachute, a f—ing parachute — incredible!” one of the onlookers gasps.
Local authorities soon confirmed they were looking for the mystery migrant seen flying across the heavily guarded border that has two 7.5-mile-long parallel fences that at points are up to 33 feet high.
“Patrols immediately headed to the area, but were unable to locate the migrant,” the statement added of the crossing at 6:15 p.m. Thursday.El Faro de Melilla said it was the first time someone appears to have come in via paraglider, suggesting that it could be one bought online for as little as $6.75.
In fact, the local outlet said, there have been no reports of crossers using the area since 23 people were killed in horrific scenes in June. That came as up to 2,000 migrants stormed the fence and engaged in a two-hour skirmish with border officers, resulting in a stampede.
