Is it an airplane or a bird ? No it's a person playing Superman

^^ Very true about owning up and the ramifications, although in this case, it may be more than just a heavy fine since LAX has been the target of numerous drone incursions risking aircraft safety, so the Feds, in particular, if they caught the operator(s) may be inclined to make an example of them as a possible deterrent to others...

One thought did cross my mind when I heard about the initial reports: the city of Hawthorne is directly adjacent to LAX and it is also the headquarters for Space X; could this have been some sort of a test of a new device from Elon Musk...?...

I think you are correct-It was a Drone.

I have however had the thought:

What if there was some mad inventor who has solved one or another fuel problem and other things
(Sorry I do not know what all the things included in a jet pack is called)

I was just picturing a mad scientist/inventor buying a jet pack and mixed with it and made it possible to fly extra miles.
