There is definitely NO upward thrust coming from it. Maybe they have it tethered to a hexa or bigger from 20-30 feet up. Then the ghost has a basic forward pushing prop and rudder to only control X&Y movement. That way the multi-rotor can be stationary.

I first read that it was made with a helicopter but I didn't see how that was possible. After reading your comments I watched it again. Pause it at 2:03 it's a good shot of a wire or string shining in the light. There is more shot through out the video but at 2:03 is the clearest.

Maybe it's my connection speed but the wings look very CG with the white basketball back-board behind it. Very funny idea though!

I believe it's hanging by a couple of very thin wires under a MR.

I saw this in my Facebook feed yesterday. I think I read one of the comments that said it was suspended from a quad or hex copter. You can see the wire in some of the shots.
