    I mean jetpacks exist but this guy was at 6K feet in heavily regulated airspace. How do you even get up to 6K and down safely with a jetpack? The best jetpacks around have like a 10 minute flight time.

    I remember hearing about this and thinking no way, the height was absurd


    maybe just a drone that looks like a person as a prank, even then it'd be a pretty high-end one

    I feel like a drone resembling a person is likely the best explanation but for some reason that video makes me feel otherwise.

    I'm just thinking about the aeronautics of a person-sized/shaped drone and tbh it seems a bit far fetched. Like first of all who is this nigga with a drone that can communicate from 6000 ft in the air? Ahmedinejad?

    DJI Mavic Pro has a 2700 ft max range for example.

    I have no idea about control signals, would have to look into it. at 6k feet I would've expected it to be a prop plane type drone rather than quad/etc-rotor but the way it moves in that video it's definitely not.


    it's possible it's not even controlled and it was following a preprogrammed path too

    It wasn't a "guy with a jetpack", it was an angel. They're here.

    I'm pretty sure it's getting a sequel set in the 70s with a new strong, empowered black female Rocketeer.

    False. Crack wasn't invented until the mid-80s, and this is a bigoted attempt to diminish the accomplishments of a fictional black heroine.

    Did you notice in the recording, when the first report is made, that the lady said, you mean like a ____ or a jet pack? Can’t remember her first choice. Just seems odd she would guess that so quickly.

    In the Reddit video, if you look closely it is pretty certain it is a real human, as they move their legs and change their posture midair.
