Kevin Miller, a drone pilot, was getting some video footage of a wind turbine in Rhode Island and was surprised to see a man catching some rays on the precarious perch.

The man operating the drone says he and the white bearded man had a "cool interaction," with the man curious about the flying object observing him. The man did not seem concerned about being caught in such a secluded place.

That's because, according to the nearby Portsmouth Abbey School, the man is a monk, and often sunbathes in the sky-high location.
