An unusual incident occurred Sunday at the Los Angeles airport, where an unidentified man was flying between the planes with a “jetpack.” The pilots found that the man was flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters, at a distance of only a few tens of meters from the planes he piloted, reports CNN.
The American Airlines flight was the first to report a “jetpack type” on Sunday at an altitude of 3,000 meters above Los Angeles International Airport. The pilots said the man was about 30 meters from the plane.
CNN obtained the conversation between the air traffic control tower and the flight crews of American Airlines and JetBlue.
“Tower. American 1997. I ran into a guy in a jetpack. To the left, maybe 30 meters or so,” the pilots of the first plane said.
About 10 minutes later, another plane spotted the man.
“I just saw the guy flying next to us in the jetpack,” the plane’s crew sent to the control tower. According to the communications, air traffic control warned the pilots of the JetBlue flight to “be careful.”
After the plane received instructions, the controller concluded: “Only in Los Angeles it can be done.”
The Federal Aviation Administration said “officials have alerted local authorities to the incident.”
The FBI is investigating and “working to determine what happened.”
