I'd love for this to be true, though I remain skeptical as "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"

For example, the chap who claimed he had built bird-like wings suitable for launching a human into the air[0] garnered a lot of attention until it was revealed to be a hoax [1].

Some similarities between the two videos. Low resolution. Lots of chopping and changing. Involves human flight - a naturally exciting area and excitement can suspend rationality.
