According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), “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 (LAX) around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.” The agency promised to investigate the incident. It said, “The FAA alerted local law enforcement and will look into the report.”
“Flying object? Was it a UAV or was it a jet pack?” someone can be heard saying over air traffic control inquiring about the report, according to a recording played on ABC News.
Questions about the jet-pack technology remain
As federal authorities investigate the sightings….many questions remain. Most people in the jetpack industry have doubts that there is any jetpack that can fly successfully at 3,000 feet and really doubt that a solo jet-packer was flying at 6,000 feet altitude last week.
The micro personal vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) industry appears to be puzzled about the sightings.
