An unidentified man was seen flying in a jet pack near the Los Angeles International Airport ... again. The man was spotted by a flight crew around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to CNN.

The FAA said it alerted local law enforcement agencies and are investigating the report. Similar sightings of a man in a jet pack near LAX were reported to the FAA in September.
An American Airlines flight was the first to report a "guy in a jet pack" at the plane's' altitude of 3,000 feet above Los Angeles International Airport on September 1.
The aircraft's crew said that the man was approximately 30 yards away from the aircraft. About 10 minutes later, another plane spotted the man. The FBI is investigating the incidents.

CNN has reached out to LAX for comment. There are no additional details at this time. CNN obtained the audio between air traffic control and American and JetBlue flight crews from the September 1 incident.
According to the communications, air traffic control warned a JetBlue flight to "use caution... person on a jet pack reported 300 yards south."After the plane acknowledged the instruction, the controller concluded with: "Only in LA."
