It was about 15 miles east of the airport and flying at an elevation of about 5,000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also: <\/strong><a

said they didn&#8217;t see anyone in a jetpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not the first sighting of &#8220;Jetpack Man&#8221; near LAX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October, a China Airlines crew saw a person in a jetpack flying at about 6,000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two commercial airline planes reported seeing a person with a jetpack last August, including an American Airlines crew who said the person flew within 30 yards of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI and the FAA are investigating the incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
