The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00059: Documents a pilot report of An aircrew reported observing a jet pack traveling northwest at 5,400 feet, presenting a potential hazard to aviation.. Key unresolved lead: Why did Long Beach Police lack the resources to search for the operator?"
"Evidentiary limitations: low Note that: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00059 fails to support: The operational log does not contain physical telemetry, radar recordings, or photos to independently verify the nature of the object.."
