Once again, an observation of a person flying with a jetpack near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) was reported. This is the second time in three weeks that such an observation has been reported, writes the BBC.
According to the channel, it was the crew on board a China Airlines plane who reported the observation. Perhaps not surprising in itself, the fact that the person was seen at an altitude of more than 1800 meters quickly generated reactions.
The FBI is now involved and has launched an investigation. According to the BBC, it is unclear whether either of the two observations resulted in any danger to the planes.
Investigated
It must have been around 1:45 p.m. local time on Wednesday when the plane’s crew discovered the person with the jetpack.
“The FBI is in contact with the federal aviation administration and several reports are being investigated on what, according to witnesses, appeared to be a human with a jetpack near LAX,” FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller told several US media that covered the incident.
So far, no one from the airport in question has made an official statement after the incident.
Absurd message
Also on September 27, a similar episode was reported in the same place. At that time, however, it was at an altitude of just over 900 meters that the person was observed. An American Airlines flight reported the sighting around 6:30 pm local time.
– We just passed a man with a jetpack, said the pilot in the recording that was released later.
Within a minute, another plane was also reported seeing a person pass. The incident is now under investigation.
