Imagine looking up at the sky and seeing this? Would you laugh? Call 9-1-1? Kickstarter is the world's largest crowdfunding platform for creative projects. People use it to launch their books, movies, albums and other tech ideas. But one day, New York comedian Kurt Braunohler got a silly idea and thought, "why not run with it?"

He raised $7,000 with the help of 257 backers and got a skywriter to write "How do I land?" in L.A.

In his statement, via Gawker, he said:  "I think we can all agree that life is pretty bleak place to be a lot of the time. Often you might even think, 'Who thought this was a good idea to begin with!?' (God – what a jerk.) But I think that if there’s a way we can, just for a fleeting moment, give strangers an unexpected gift of absurdity, then I think we can make the world a slightly better place."

If you were in the midst of dialing 9-1-1, you can put the phone down now.
