Another mysterious flying jetpack was spotted in the skies above Los Angeles.
It was seen on Wednesday by a China Airlines crew.
It happened near Los Angeles International Airport, just like one in late August, when an American Airlines pilot reported a close encounter with a ‘guy in a jetpack’ at 3,000 feet.
That incident is still under investigation by the FAA and the FBI.
Yesterday, the CAL pilot reported ‘what appeared to be someone in a jet pack’ at an even higher altitude of about 6,000 feet.
If accurate it could be close to a new world altitude record for a jetpack powered flight.
Earlier this year, a jetpack reached an altitude of 5,905 feet in Dubai during a demonstration flight which is thought to be a record.
Recreational jetpacks usually fly just a few hundred feet at most from the ground.
There is scepticism a jetpack could get that high, although it is hard to dismiss with three separate pilot sightings in the space of just a few weeks.
Unsurprisingly it has led to speculation it could be a US Military testing program.
LA based company JetPack Aviation has developed a jetpack which it claims can reach 15,000 feet but it is not available commercially.
