So today I had to take a 4 hour drive south to help my sister move back home from college. Basically a straight line down central IL, and about 90% of the view being the endless farm-land, so there was the usual crop-dusting airplanes and all that.
But on the drive up, I could see some kind of Parachute in the distance. I was driving towards it and started to see much more of what it was. Hanging from this rainbow-colored parachute was what looked almost like a dune buggy, except it had 3 wheels. It was in the shape of a triangle, and wheel layout was similar to a tricycle. On the back of of this was a huge fan, like what you would see on an airboat or hovercraft.
I couldn't see if there was anything above it other than the parchute. I also couldn't snap a quick photo because it passed over us rather quickly.
Has anyone else ever seen something like this? Or knows what it is?
