This sounds silly, but it turns out to be quite tragic. According to this video, there was a landing strip built near an indigenous tribe that did not know about airplanes. The indigenous people soon began to worship the planes, believing that they took people into the gates of heaven and prosperity, but that the white man had tricked the planes into landing in their trap, the landing strip. They built their own effigy of a plane, and they sit around waiting all day for one to come down and take them away.
