Migrants paragliding over the border fence into Spain

He just arrived.

This stunning footage captures the moment a migrant parachutes into Spain to avoid a notoriously difficult border crossing – where 23 people were killed in violent clashes with guards earlier this year.

A now widely circulated video showed two men gasping in surprise Thursday when they saw a paraglider cross the fence of Melilla, one of the main entry points into Europe from Morocco.

“Brother, he’s jumping after the parachute, after the parachute – it’s incredible!” One of the spectators gasps.

Local authorities soon confirmed that they were looking for the mysterious immigrant who was seen flying across the heavily guarded border that had two parallel 7.5-mile fences that stood 33 feet high at points.

“The patrols immediately went to the area, but they were unable to locate the immigrant,” the statement added.

Spanish newspaper Alvaro de Melilla said It was the first time someone had shown a glider, suggesting it could be purchased online for $6.75.

In fact, the local outlet said, there have been no reports of transients using the area since 23 people were killed in horrific scenes in June.

It came as up to 2,000 migrants stormed the fence and engaged in a two-hour skirmish with border officers, resulting in a stampede.

Moroccan police fired tear gas and beat the men with batons, even when some were on the ground. However, authorities initially said the deaths were caused by the stampede and the migrants falling from the high fence.

The Spanish authorities have also been accused of illegally returning some migrants to Morocco, allegedly violating their right to seek asylum.

Of the more than 29,000 migrants who have crossed into Spain by land or sea without a permit so far this year, about 1,300 have done so via Melilla, according to Spain’s interior ministry.
