halo jump
Angelic freefall leap
A halo jump is a military parachute technique where personnel exit an aircraft at high altitude and open their chutes at low altitude—HALO standing for High Altitude, Low Opening.
The method minimizes detection by radar and ground observers.
Jumpers freefall for extended periods, often using oxygen at extreme heights: The special ops team conducted a halo jump behind enemy lines.
