An American Airlines flight pilot was the first one to report on a "guy in a jetpack". As per the audio of pilot of American Airlines flight 1997 from Philadelphia told air traffic controllers, "Tower, American 1997 - we just passed a guy in a jetpack." The pilot said the culprit was about 300 yards to the plane's left while it was about to land. Within a minute, a pilot of JetBlue Flight 23 also reported on seeing a man flying nearby. "We just saw the guy passing by us in the jetpack," the SkyWest pilot told controllers.
