What is hidden behind "Jellyfish of Vence"? /UFO Haiku based on a true story

in #haiku6 years ago

When I saw the prompt for the last Haiku contest by @vdux, I couldn't resisit writing one about a funny true story that happened back in May of 2009.

The story goes like this:

There is a mysterious place somewhere in Alpes Maritimes, the region of France, called Col de Vence. It's a plato orbiting at an altitude of 1,000 km, filled with interestingly shaped rocks and surrounded by stories of people witnessing signs of UFO then and now )

Long story short, my friend had an idea of taking a mysterious picture of a navy parachute of his flying over Col de Vence, so that it'd look like an UFO, after posting the picture on a few forums, we saw it appearing in a local newspaper with a catchy article's title "What is hidden behind "Jellyfish" of Vence".
