An unusual object caught the attention of RCMP on Monday (April 17th) and no, it wasn't a UFO.

Airdrie Rural RCMP are investigating after a powered parachute was found flying above South Airdrie and Balzac, right in the flight path for traffic to Calgary Airport.

As a result of the parachute, some flights had to redirect before landing at the Airport.

The parachute eventually landed where and Police are now investigating along with Transport Canada.
