Weeks later, another was seen of a man who was reportedly flying through the air with a jet pack at an altitude of about 6,000 feet near LAX.
No explanation was given for the sighting for months, and some experts suspected it might have been a larger drone.
But now it appears the real culprit was a balloon shaped like the popular Tim Burton character, not nearly as technologically advanced.

But despite the new evidence, officials have not ruled out other possibilities and the FAA and FBI have said the jetpack investigation is an open investigation, NBC News reported.
