Houston, We May Have A Fake: Pro CGI Experts Cast Serious Doubt On Human BirdWings Flight

Well, the evidence is mounting, and it looks like I may have let my eagerness for the possibility of self-propelled flight (of the Wii-sensored flapping variety) get in the way of reality. Yesterday, we covered Jarno Smeets, a.k.a. The Human BirdWings guy, supposedly taking off on self-built wings on a flight that he claimed spanned over 100 meters. However, the CGI experts are calling BS on the semi-self-propelled flight. And while this still doesn't prove it's a hoax directly -- in fact, Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters yesterday laid out an explanation of how it could be plausible using modern tech -- it sure isn't looking good for old Jarno.
