Is it an airplane or a bird ? No it's a person playing Superman
This person must have had fun, I think

Big news here locally in LA; latest is there has been no confirming sightings other than the two pilots' reports; a local newscast interviewed a representative from a company that manufactures rocket pack (says its not one of theirs, if there is one) and he made some good points; jet packs make a hell of a lot of noise, and, yet, there have no reports of anyone hearing either the take off, the flight, or the landing of such a device; it would be highly unlikely, in a place as densely populated as LA, nobody heard or saw anything from the ground; 3,000 feet is not a very high altitude, relatively, and even aircraft flying at higher altitudes are easily heard over the din of the city; also, the time reported, about 6:35 pm, the sun had yet to set and the sky was clear; current suppositions are the craft may have been some sort of drone device; the FBI is currently joining the investigation...

Another UFO sighting due to jet packs don't have enough fuel to go up to 3,000' and come back down safely again

^^ That was another point made by the jet pack company representative; he stated there are no known jet pack models that can fly that high for that long; I think whatever the pilots saw, it was probably some sort of drone device; the airport area around LAX has had numerous incidents of drones flying into and through LAX with some cases of drones getting uncomfortably close to aircraft landing or taking off...

Even if he has a parachute? Edit: I just figured it out I think. He doesn't take off from the ground. He deploys from a small aircraft at altitude.
