Monks have been known to levitate, as well as people like David Blane the magician or people got close to it by hand gliding, even those flying squirril suits jumpers wear.

I guess it is. I read a magazine in my country "Misteri" which reveals things about supernatural. It says a lot of facts about ghosts, spirits, fortunetelling, cursing, witchcraft, superpower, etc etc.
There are some men who fly. These men usually are good-hearted. They're so good that God bless them with the gift. As we all know, some people can see the unseen, some have telekinetic powers, some can teleport, some can curse, etc.
The reason why we dont see much of this people is maybe because they're not allowed to use their powers to show off or something. I, by accident, saw a man who had telekinetic power throw some bad guys when they tried to rob him. I was shocked. It was like wow--not like what we see in the movie--it's real. He saw me see him. Then he ran away.
Think. How come there are fiction stories about super powers if there hasnt been anything inspiring people to make them in look real in tv? Because i guess the powers really exist. If you accept the fact that there's such thing as voodoo, astral projection, telekinetic power, or fortunetelling, will you, too, accept the fact that at least there's a possibility that some men can fly? we dont know yet. Some people 1000 years ago might've said we couldnt touch the moon. Now, what happened? Today, people might say we cant fly, but we never know what's gonna happen in the future.

How David Blaine "levitates":
He stands a small distance away from his audience.
He turns so that his right toes are furthest away from his audience.
He goes up on his right toes, lifting his left foot off the ground.
The audience can't see that his right toes are still on the ground, as the rest of his body is in the way, and so they think he is levitating, and are amazed.
After they've gone they get a crane out and lift David Blaine about a foot off the ground, for the cameras. Notice how whenever Blaine is more than about 2cm off the ground you can't see his upper body, as this is where the crane is attached.
Yes I know that this sounds like I'm a conspiracy theorist or whatever. I don't know if some people can actually levitate. However, David Blaine is a magician, and performs magic tricks. The operative word here is trick: David himself can't actually levitate.

David Blane is just good at making people think he can fly/levitate. It is all just a show. Thats why they are illusions, not scientific feats. IF it were true, dont you think the govt or cia or those guys from roswell would have taken him by now.

Biomechanically speaking, no.
Birds have very powerful and large pectoral muscles compared to their size. They also have honey-comb structured bones to reduce weight. This power to weight ratio, combined with other factors such as low bodyfat, aerodynamic devices like feathers, give birds the ability to fly. Plus the fact they've got wings.
If a person is to fly without using machines (ie: by strapping on some sort of wings and flapping), he would need huge pecs and suffer from osteoperosis (ie: low bone density). He would also need to have almost no muscle mass in his legs, and hardly any body fat.

No.
Notice how the mass of edible protein (muscle) on a bird is located around the breast.
To flap the arms with enough efficiency to lift themself off the ground, the aveage adult human male would require so much muscle that to accomodate it the breastbone would need to protrude six feet.

no a human being cannot fly unless they are in a airplane because humans are not formed with the proper techniques and air resistance to fly (we don't have wings)

who ever 1million thought that there would be a thing called as a aeroplane.even our ancestors use to have tails.all these years wehave been evolving according to our needs&our wants.

Everyone and anyone can fly--down.
Flying up is the tricky part. That's why we invented the airplane.
