What makes the reports even stranger is that, like a scene out of The Rocketeer, the airliners were descending through 3,000 feet when jetpack guy showed up next to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We missed reporting on an update a few weeks later in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/37071\/another-guy-in-a-jetpack-was-spotted-by-airliners-descending-into-lax-we-have-the-audio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another airliner reported the same thing in October.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A China Airlines crew reported seeing what appeared to be someone in a jet pack at an approximate altitude of 6,000 feet, about seven miles northwest of Los Angeles International Airport,&#8221; the FAA said in a statement to CNBC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daedalus_Flight_Pack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> most advanced jetpacks<\/a> developed so far limit flight to a matter of minutes. While capable of getting the rider up to a couple thousand feet, with only 10 minutes of gas on board, you&#8217;d have to be pretty crazy to reach that limit.<\/p>\n<p>This most recent sighting was out at sea, at about 3,000 feet, and reported\/recorded by pilots off the coast of LA in a flight training area.<\/p>\n<p>The article links to a YouTube video (below) that posits one possible explanation, a hoax using a quad copter drone.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1nNBRShBVVM?start=28\" width=\"480\" height=\"240\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While this certainly fits the look and feel of the new video of the LA jet pack guy, this still doesn&#8217;t fully explain it. Where he was most recently observed isn&#8217;t near enough anywhere that someone could control the thing from.<\/p>\n<p>Even stranger, nobody in the Los Angeles metroplex of more than 13 million people have reported seeing this thing take off or land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some shaky-cam video worthy of Sasquatch or Nessie has emerged of the oft-reported and as yet &hellip; <a title=\"Video of LA jetpack man emerges\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=108671\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video of LA jetpack man emerges<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[478],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-none"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108671"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108673,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108671\/revisions\/108673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
