Another sighting of what seems to be an unidentified person flying in a jetpack over the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in the United States has been reported.
The report comes just a little over a month after the first jetpack sightings also over the LAX on Aug. 30, as per Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on Oct. 14.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since officially issued a statement confirming the sighting.
The FAA disclosed that a China Airlines crew reported seeing the jetpack-powered person flying at an altitude of around 6,000 feet on the afternoon of Oct. 14.
The federal agency said it will look into the report and has already reported it to local law enforcement.
