Technology Man Who Flew Like a Bird in Viral Video Admits Farce Was Part of Online Experiment

Posted on March 22, 2012 at 6:20pm by Liz Klimas Liz Klimas


A few days ago, we brought you the too-good-to-be-true story of Jarno Smeets who realized his dream of flying like a bird by building his own wings. It was an endeavor that he chronicled in both blog posts and video clips on his website Human Birdwings for eight months.

Shortly after the video of his second test flight of the wings went viral ? it has more than 3 million YouTube hits ? it was called out as a fake by experts in the film industry. There were also questions raised about his identity and resume.

Now Smeets, or shall we say Floris Kaayk, has admitted it was all an elaborate hoax. Wired reports that Kaayk gave a tell-all interview on a Dutch TV show where he said he is really a filmmaker and animator by trade ? not a mechanical engineer as he is described on his blog. He also said that this project was part of an ?experiment about online media.?
