Kicker - Emulating Iron Man

NICK EICHER, HOST: Air traffic controllers recently spotted a UFO among the clouds over Los Angeles, but the unidentified object wasn’t a flying saucer.

AUDIO: 215, there was a jetpack reported about 13 miles ahead.

Yes, a jetpack.

Commercial pilots reported the sighting in the busy skies near LAX airport. And you might remember, this is not the first time this has happened.

Last year, pilots near LAX reported what appeared to be a man strapped to a jetpack about 3,000 above the ground. This time, it was 5,000 feet.

One traffic alert said “use caution, the jetpack guy is back.”

I dunno, maybe jetpack guy could use some advice about taking precautions, like don’t jetpack near flight paths at one of the five busiest airports?!
