Pilots Report Mysterious Jetpack Near LAX... Again!

6000 FT? Going to call bogus on that.

Find it very hard to believe current tech makes that possible.

Tony Stark is testing his new suit. Nothing special.

@Valentin Disney actually has been testing robots that can hold superhero poses like flying or super jumping while being flung, for Iron Man like stints that are too dangerous for human stuntmen. Maybe the next step for the technology is to mount it onto a drone?

Maybe it is the missing United executive??

Drone or balloon. There is no chance that’s a human in a jetpack.

A jetpack flying over a city of 4 million people and nobody saw it except one airline crew?

I can’t believe they don’t see this jetpack on radar.

This is near Hawthorne, CA. Home of Space X. Elon Musk is Tony Stark wannabe.

@The Original Donna, military radar could *conceivably* see it but it would be very small (USAF folks chime in), but I don’t think civilian radar works that way. It needs a transponder to “see” a flying object.

@Reaper For the most part, you are right. The sensitivity settings for radar are generally set so as to ignore smaller objects so the user doesn't get overwhelmed by the inevitable background noise (birds, rain, microwave ovens all affect radar). I think the current size they look for is over 2 sq. meters, which is way bigger than a human being standing up, let alone if he was flying at the dish.

Ooh baby, this story is making me crazy. Every time I look around, a jet pack is in my face.
