I found one. Next to a skydiving school about 25 miles from my house.

All I can see is a guy in the grass next to a patch of sand. Maybe he just fell from the sky, or he's just tying his shoelaces.

The white circle next to the 'Skydiver' Flag in a parachute. The darker circle below it is the shadow. The object to the left of the white and black circles is the parachutist.

The guy on the left side is looking at the jumper.

I tried to find one by the place I went to...but I don't see anything (although it looks like they had a lot of cars in the parking lot!). Anyway, I'll attach it and maybe someone else can see something I can't.

round parachutes? I think they don't use those any more since WWII ;-)
