Now we are getting into Red Panda territory. There will be more and more reports and no additional evidence. I am far from convinced the sightings are of actual people in jet packs.
Having lived in San Pedro (the closest bits of land to the sighting)....
Whoever he is, he's got some serious technology there. Which is probably why he's keeping it secret.He's baaack.
Mysterious 'Jetpack Man' may have been spotted again in the skies near LAX

Drones are old news here. Every other person has one. Now, a JET PACK, those things are cool.The UK gets drones, the US has to go one better.
Agreed ... Assuming Jetpack Guy is sane (not a given in Southern California) he should be packing only enough fuel to go straight up and come back down without much lingering or zipping around.Reading up about the LAX Jet Packer, it seems he would have to have a heck of a lot of fuel to be able to pull off the stunts he's been accused of, as the jetpacks available don't have much distance capability. He would have to be very careful not to run out of fuel while high in the sky. Some are saying he might be a model or dummy attached to a drone.
Yes, that may be the most likely explanation.Reading up about the LAX Jet Packer, it seems he would have to have a heck of a lot of fuel to be able to pull off the stunts he's been accused of, as the jetpacks available don't have much distance capability.

Maybe he's come out of retirement?Having spent some time thinking about the technical aspects of the apparent LA-area jetpacker, I must admit that my training in atmospheric physics is not adequate for evaluating an apparent feat of engineering.
However, intriguingly, this phenomenon does seem to share at least two features with the "airship" sightings reported in the late 19th century:
A) The phenomenon appears to be accomplished using readily recognizable technology and materials. For example, nobody has opined that it might be a magician on a flying carpet.
B) At the same time, the device used appears to be slightly, but unmistakably, more advanced than publicly known contemporary devices.
What these similarities might mean, I have no idea. Maybe the apparent jetpacker is actually a tulpa?
