I have also heard of stories of monks flying in the sky, monks
floating above ground perpetually to avoid stepping on any insects
in Myanmar. However, since I have never seen it before, I can't say
for sure if it exists or not. Nevertheless, what can be said is
that there are many accomplished practitioners in Myanmar,
meditating well into the jhanas. Those whose meditation are in the
jhanas have the some ability to perform such acts. However, the
ability to do so doesn't mean anything. Devadatta, Buddha's cousin
who tried to kill him also had such abilities but he had not true
understanding and wisdom. As such, i think it might be better
not to be bothered with such things, there are many more
unimaginable things in the world.
