For those who check my blog sometimes, I want to share this bit of news, which perhaps you haven't heard of yet: on Sunday, August 30th, at least two airline pilot teams reported seeing a man flying in a jet pack about 3000 feet up in the air near LAX in restricted flying space; that is higher than any known jetpack flight; the man has not been identified yet and has not come forward; the FBI is investigating. They are also asking anyone in the public to come forward with more information. So readers, take note of the very extraordinary nature of this incident: this guy just may have been flying new technology, and instead of revealing that tech to the media in an official unveiling, he suddenly appears at 3000 feet, violating serious laws of airspace and traffic control. Nor is it the M.O. of a spy: nope. It's the M.O. of a UFO, or Spring-Heeled Jack. Which is why I have given this guy the name "Jetpack Jack". He just might be the 21st century version of Spring-Heeled Jack. He's also quite reminiscent of the usual comic book plot: it's in the comic books where new technology is so often first unveiled in such ways, by either an inventor who's about to become a superhero or---preparing for his first big heist. Or a variation thereof. So I've come up with a name for this guy; which I first mentioned via text on September 1st or 2nd (I have the original texts which verify that, in case some jack tries to jack my Jetpack Jack). What will the FBI uncover about Jetpack Jack? Will they uncover Jack? If they had Agent Mulder on the team, I'm sure they'd get farther with this case. Till then, keep your eyes on the skies.
Update, October 14th: the Jetpack Man was sighted by some airline crews again on Wednesday October 14th at about 2:00pm, again above L.A., this time at 6000 feet high. The situation is still a mystery to the authorities.
