No serious injuries were reported, authorities said.
The video posted on Instagram shows the aircraft hovering over a golf course; his suspicious presence had alerted residents.
Chris Ferrara, a Key West resident who describes himself as an aviation enthusiast, told ABC News he was driving his golf cart nearby when he heard the distinct sound of a hang-glider’s engine hovering overhead.
“I looked up and knew he wasn’t supposed to be there,” he said.

“Cuban migrants arrive by any route, usually in makeshift boats,” Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Adam Linhardt told ABC News.
