This chilling video captures the moment a man flirted with disaster as a fighter jet flew just a few feet over his head at extreme speed.

The incredibly low fly-by, coupled with the man's game of chicken, may be one of the most dangerous stunts of all time.

Footage shows the Free Libyan Air Force plane appearing to emerge out of thin air as it flew just off the ground.

The man, who is standing directly in the plane's path, ducks and drops to the ground at the last second as it screams over his head.

The insane moment was recorded at an undisclosed air base in the troubled country, which is still suffering following a civil war.

The Soviet-built Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 suddenly comes into view as it rockets past the videomaker and others with an enormous roar.

The fighter jet remains a few feet off the ground for a couple seconds before lifting and soaring into the sky.

The Free Libyan Air Force was allied with Libya’s de facto government during and after the civil war in 2011.
