A drone pilot named Kevin Miller was flying his unmanned aircraft in Rhode Island when it spotted a man sunbathing on top of a wind turbine. It’s unclear who the man is or how he got up there, though an open hatch next to him implies that he climbed up a ladder to reach the top. Perhaps he’s an engineer, or just a daredevil who gets his kicks climbing incredibly tall structures. The discovery begs the question: just how many people are chilling on top of turbines, windmills, water towers and other large infrastructure edifices as we speak? Check out the video of the sunbather below: \[[_Daily Mirror_](http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/drone-pilot-spots-man-sunbathing-6324077 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4014794/drone-man-on-top-of-wind-turbine/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4014794/drone-man-on-top-of-wind-turbine/"},"headline":"This Drone Caught a Guy Chilling on Top of a Wind Turbine","datePublished":"2015-08-28T15:31:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:59.302Z","description":"How he got up there is a mystery","url":"https://time.com/4014794/drone-man-on-top-of-wind-turbine/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Drones","video","privacy"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Victor Luckerson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/victor-luckerson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4014794/drone-man-on-top-of-wind-turbine/","name":"This Drone Caught a Guy Chilling on Top of a Wind Turbine"}}]}] ```
