"A Boeing 747 pilot reported seeing an object that might have resembled a jet pack 15 miles east of LAX at 5,000ft altitude," the Federal Aviation Administration told CBS.
"Out of an abundance of caution, air traffic controllers alerted other pilots in the vicinity."
The FAA has not yet responded to a request for further comment from The Sun.
A man in similar garb and get-up was spotted nearly a year ago just miles from the airport.
Video captured from the event shows the "jet pack guy" flying through the air, at that time, only 3,000ft in the air.

This isn't the old "Jet pack" from the Bond movies: those things had about 60 seconds worth of propuslion and then you belonged to Mr. Gravity. Remember the slogan from hang gliding: "never fly any higher than you are willing to fall"
If this guy is operating in the thousands of feet, this is a much higher achievement in technology (and guts) - even if he is dumb enough to enter the traffic pattern of LAX. (I entered the LAX control area 50 feet below my specified altitude while I was flying in a TAV-8B Harrier and got my butt chewed by the controller).

Haha. I love when people do stuff like this.

Fun watching the (male and female) Karens get all worked up.

“Jet pack” from the Bond movies.
Saw that in person back in the sixties being flown into a stadium. The guy flew from the parking lot, over the bleachers, and onto the outfield.
Short flight and very loud.

Yeah.
I was wondering what sort of jetpack could get a man that high and that fast.
Is there a picture? There are ‘flying suits’ that incorporate small turbojets and a wingsuit, but they are deployed jumping from an aircraft.
This is just weird!

They’d better send up helicopters and see if he’s properly masked.

Remember the slogan from hang gliding: “never fly any higher than you are willing to fall”
That slogan changed to “never fly about 13,000 ft without supplemental oxygen.

it could be a balloon... It is a balloon. There's no way the jet pack could get him to 5'000 feet then fly around.
