The FBI (the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation) is looking for a man who was seen flying near an airport with a jetpack. A jetpack is a type of backpack that allows a person to “fly” using gas and liquid jets that come out of the device. The case was reported by two airplane pilots on August 30th in Los Angeles.

Although there is no law that prohibits jetpack flights in the country, people are not allowed to use the equipment near airports. The man has not been identified yet. He was flying close to commercial airplanes at an altitude of 915 meters.
