Back in late August, pilots flying into and out of Los Angeles International Airport reported seeing someone in a jetpack flying at high altitude. These reports sparked a federal investigation, though people familiar with the jetpack technology were doubtful that a person could fly that high on a jetpack.
“One working theory is that pilots might have seen balloons,” said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller in a statement.
A video shared on November 2, 2021 by the Los Angeles Police Department lent support to that theory. In the video, shot by LAPD helicopter crew, an object that looked like a person was seen flying in the air at high speed. Upon closer examination, it looked like an inflatable balloon of Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas!
