The FAA is investigating mysterious sighting near Los Angeles airport
The Federal Aviation Administration has launched a probe into yet another alleged encounter near Los Angeles International Airport this week, after a pilot preparing to land alerted the control tower about an object that resembled a person flying a jetpack.
“We heard that the jetpack man is back,” an air traffic controller could be heard saying in audio obtained by Fox 11 on Saturday. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed in a statement that an “airline pilot reported seeing an object that might have resembled a jetpack 15 miles east of Los Angeles International Airport’” around 2:45pm on Thursday.
“The FAA has worked closely with the FBI to investigate every reported jetpack sighting,” the agency added, noting however that “so far, none of these sightings have been verified.”
