UFO or not？Just a Chinese man flying on a sword

Back in November 2024, a Chinese post-90s creator named Fan Shisan and his team pulled off something that looked straight out of a fantasy film. They hand-built what they call the world’s first real manned flying sword.
No CGI. No movie tricks. No special effects.
Just carbon fiber, drone technology and one guy turning his #wuxia dream into reality, inspired by the Chinese fantasy genre famous for martial arts heroes and legendary #KungFu masters.
Now fast forward to May 2026. Fan Shisan can actually lift off the ground and fly short distances on the sword, for real.
So the question is: Would you take a ride? And if you could invent anything inspired by fantasy stories, what would it be?
