    The proximity of those blades is a little sketchy.

    Maybe we need to vote... real or fake?

    When the pilot puts his hands on the ground, look about 2 bricks in front and 3 bricks to his left of his left hand. To me that looks like a leaf . The down draft should at lease make that wiggle on take off. More likely blow it totally away. My neighbor has a small drone, we have joke about using it to clear leaves.

    You are right! That leaf didn't even wiggle. More important to me is I saw no hand held control mechanism unless it was being controlled by someone else...even scarier..

    Good eye, pal. I did not see the leaf looking item on the ground. Fake

    Well spotted on the leaf.
    What also gives it away is the way only his upper torso is strapped to it making his C of G nearer his head. If he was being lifted his legs which are not strapped would dangle and make his head raise. Fake

    Hell no. Look what happens when the population is allowed to vote.

    Truth will win out in the end. Always does. Just seems to take take too long sometimes.

    There is also another rotor on his left heel that wasn't there before liftoff. To be fair, it may have been added during the cut at 0:04.
    The leaf observation is quite good and very telling. All of the other visible debris just suddenly disappeared right before the motors started.
