I would agree. It's sad that only a few years ago, a good chunk of the R.C community was accusing airline pilots of calling out 'drones' that were really plastic bags, balloons, birds, etc. Yet now they are being taken seriously.

I personally don't doubt they think they saw what was essentially a person flying by at 3000'. (As an airline pilot, I will say that we actually can identify things outside the aircraft with fairly good accuracy. But even that has limits). All I am suggesting is that, given the limitations (that I've been able to research and determine) of flyboards and jetpacks, that this incident was most likely an R.C wingsuit-type of model, just like what Speed posted. That's all.

And of course if that is in fact the case, that bodes even worse for our hobby. Although it does prove that registration/airspace restrictions/etc are no deterrent to idiocy.
