The laws of physics and leverage, you can get leverage on a stiff object,
but a mass of goo is hard to carry, WWF wrestlers use these principles all
the time (or did you think that stuff was real - grin)

I would assume with the right position and tension of muscles this is easily
possible by anyone. I remember hearing about a book called "body magic"
where you could do seemingly amazing things with your body applying physical
laws and principles.

We need more detail, any more reports or data or his name? Why only one

Perhaps something happened to him electrically that caused him to float?

I would bet on instrumentation first, then seek out mind control later.

Well just tie a bunch of weather balloons filled with helium to yourself,
adjust so that you become extremely light, and you can jump 50 feet high
too.
