ALBAWABA - A shocking video recently took the internet by storm after capturing an illegal immigrant paragliding into the Spanish territory of Europe. 

According to the Daily Mail, local police rushed to the scene after security cameras captured the incident. However, upon reaching the area, authorities found the man missing, with only his paragliding equipment left behind.

This incident marks the first of its kind and happened between the Moroccan and Spanish borders, specifically near the enclave of Ceuta. The Daily Mail revealed that the illegal immigrant, who is in his twenties, flew over Jebel Musa (Mountain of Moses), which is located on the African side of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Cueta is an autonomous city that is considered part of Spain and is bordered by Morocco.

Usually, illegal immigrants would try to climb over the heavily fortified fences or, rarely, jump into the sea to make it to Ceuta. However, this young man had something different in mind.

Spain's Civil Guard claimed to have been warned about the possibility of an aerial crossing after a group of sub-Saharan Africans made it into Morocco. Reports later revealed that they allegedly posted videos of themselves on TikTok that featured paragliding equipment. Additionally, a local newspaper claimed that they also shared a guide on how to do it.
