Having some lone inventor designing and building an advanced jetpack makes a nice story, but the only way I see that happening is: 1) engineer who quit or retired from aeronautical firm - best would be if he had worked for one of the two jetpack companies. 2) he is independently wealthy - which means he had a lot of stock options at his former employer, or he inherited it, OR he's working for someone wealthy 3) has a hidden place in the hills to launch and land at . Problems with this: 1) Flying around LA has got him noticed. IF he bought six turbojet engines at one time any time in the recent past, someone should remember them being ordered by an entity that is not a recognized aircraft research firm. 2) Hard to find a place anywhere near LA you could land and take off without being noticed even if you made the jetpack completely silent 3) Since he has not been noticed flying elsewhere in LA, his base is probably close to KLAX. Which leads to: 1) It's more likely a drone/mannequin combination. 2) best way to hide takeoff/landing location is roof of high building 3) It has to be near KLAX due to range issues I'd look for a high building near KLAX, probably a residential building with insecure roof access, where the perpetrator could be a resident or the building manager; OR an office building where they could be a tenant or building maintenance worker.

I have a few pics of a jetpack man, flying very high over the New Jersey shore during the dawn hour, August, 2018. I was taking pics with a long tele lens, I heard the craft, noting the unusual sound of the engine source, and directed my 400mm lens skyward. I know what I saw wasn't an electric drone or a small engine as you'd find on an RC plane; the sound was too distinctly different to be some hobbyist prank. The pilot had on an oversized suit, and there was a big pack on his back. He was also flying for a while. I saw him heading north, and a few minutes later saw him flying south. Totally unexplainable to me.

Love all of your videos. I have a different theory regarding jetpack man that matches up to his altitude, speed, and the Dynasty pilot's description of him being shiney. I believe he's actually a balloon, specifically a life-sized Buzz Lightyear balloon like the one seen in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns5loNN52dKlf2g.html Depending on air currents, he could be hovering in place or caught in a jet stream moving several hundred miles per hour.

It could be fake, like a uav or a balloon. But it could also just be some rich tech dude who had a sweet jetpack built. Jetpack technology is pretty advanced. To the people saying that 5000 ft is too high for.l a human I guess didn't see the guy who parachuted to earth from outer space. With the right breathing equipment and protective clothing 5000 ft is definitely possible.
