ROCKET MAN SIGHTING LAX ‘Jet Pack guy’ spotted AGAIN flying 15 miles from Los Angeles airport at 5,000 feet as FAA and FBI investigates
US Sun ^ | Jul 29 2021 | Catherina Gioino

"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.

Kind of like the pictures of Bigfoot, always too grainy to be sure. Could just be a weather balloon.

When this happened last year, it was speculated that it was just a man-shaped drone.

This year's sighting was at 5,000', which is beyond the capabilities of any jet-powered suit or Hydrogen Peroxide rocket jetpack.

There it is...

Or a rocket with a dude suit around it that an LA loser will fire off every few weeks when the viagra runs low.

Asinine bullshit that creates safety issues for people that are actually are trying to do some productive stuff that day...

I have dreamed of this since I was a child watching “Lost in Space” on our black & white Zenith.

“This year’s sighting was at 5,000’, which is beyond the capabilities of any jet-powered suit or Hydrogen Peroxide rocket jetpack.”

That we are currently unaware. Not to say someone may have “perfected” a jetpack and enjoying the fruits of his/her labor.

I know I would and make them find me. Fun game.

Your assumption is that they started from the ground.

They easily could have jumped out of a skydiving plane.

“Drone.”
*********************
Or a balloon made in a “jet pack man” shape. Yes… they have balloons imaged and shaped like all kinds of things.

DON’T BE GULLIBLE, FOLKS.

Someone posted a pic of this very thing awhile back - it’s a ‘shape’ attached to a big drone, so that it looks like a jetpack guy from a distance. Pretty good fake even at closer distances.

The jet powered 'squirrel suits' for skydiving have the person flying horizontally, and have wings.

The LAX jetpack sightings show the body of the Jetpack man as being vertical, with no wings.

And they still have to reach the ground eventually, but no parachutes were spotted in the area.

When you command a Marine battalion, they give you the opportunity to cross-train with the Air Wing in the aircaft of your choice. I picked the Harrier. I got tested in the pressure chamber, then went through the ejection seat training, then got some simulator training - and then a TAV-8B showed up for me in Yuma.

My captain pilot got us off the ground and handed her off to me! Flew to Camp Pendleton after doing a lot of maneuvering and crossing the Salton Sea at 200 feet, 500 knots. I did some low-altitude donuts over my battalion CP and landed it three times - once vertical - at el Toro.

It was a great experience but it wore me out! Don’t know how those guys deal with all those Gs all the time.
