A Stray Parachuter Lands In My Neighbor’s Yard In Lakeland Florida

October 11, 2009 by Mike · 4 Comments 

Today we had some friends over watching the football Game. Tracey was out back and she yelled in the house ” Hey, there’s someone up in the sky on a parachute “.

We live in Lakeland, Florida, so this isn’t a normal occurrence. At first I thought she was crazy, but I grabbed my camera and ran out side. Here are the photos (and a couple of videos):

This is what we saw first. A Parachute

Then we realized he was landing in my neighbors yard:


This is a photo of him after he landed. He packed up and started walking away very fast…like within 20 or 30 seconds and started walking down the street, I should of offered him a beer:

He landed and packed up quickly

    I used to live off Duff Road and I saw that guy several times on a Sunday. I never saw he landed before though.

    It was funny to us because he landed right next to us. I’m curious why the sheriff went after him?
