AN AMERICAN Airlines pilot reported seeing a “guy in a jetpack” flying past his plane as it approached 3,000 feet on Sunday.
The pilot can be heard in a radio call telling the control tower that he saw the mystery man flying past the plane when it was about 10 miles out from landing at Los Angeles International Airport, according to local station KTTV.
The pilot said the flyer was “about 300 yards” from the plane as it prepared for landing.
A second pilot flying for JetBlue also reported seeing a man in a jetpack fly past, according to The Hill.
Despite the reports of the jetpack flyer in the skies around the Los Angeles airport, there were no in-air collisions.
As of Tuesday morning, there were also no reports of injuries.
No more information about this mystery flyer has been released yet, and neither American Airlines nor the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have confirmed that a man with a jetpack was actually flying in the area around LAX.
The FAA told KTTV that they had turned the report of the flying man over to the Los Angeles Police Department for an investigation.
The Hill reported that the incident is being investigated as a drone sighting. Read more from The Sun
