Jetpack man, also described as guy in a jetpack or Iron Man, is an unknown person or object that has been observed flying what appears to be an unauthorized jetpack around the Los Angeles area at least five times in 2020–21. Multiple airplane pilots have reported seeing the jetpack man at altitudes around 5,000 feet (1,500 m). It is unknown whether each sighting is the same person, or whether it might be a drone designed to look like a person with a jetpack. Neither jetpacks nor large drones are commonly flown at that altitude or at that distance from land, and there have been no sightings of a takeoff or landing. It has been theorized by the FBI and FAA that the jetpack man is actually a balloon.
