I'm 90% certain it's an RC Flying Man! Amazing how the media rarely does their homework these days. Take a look here: https://mikeshouts.com/rc-flying-man-in-11-scale/

I have no problem with jetpack experimenters doing it well away from inhabited and air-trafficed areas, but a lot of these bozos seem to lack some elemental common sense.
Generally, I class them as hang-gliders and responsible hang-glider users pay careful attention to their own vulnerabilities as well as the greater danger to other citizens.
Basically, if things go badly wrong, it's only the user at risk, and that's the way it should be. Anyone who puts other people at risk by the use of a jetpack / man-drone, etc, is a fool and should be left in no doubt what will happen to them if the mission goes tits-up.

Differentiation is that there are not exactly a ton of places to go hang gliding...now, a jet pack the options are wide open...plus, with the media and their delusions running rampant, "close" to an airport may be within the same continent.
King Newsom demands the arrests of paddle boarders, but not the jet pack drone that can potentially threaten hundreds of lives and cargo (vaccines) in an instant. Apparently law enforcement
resources shall be deverted elsewhere.

No ones arresting paddleboarders. Sheesh.
Actually 2 were arrested in So Cal in April. Both for failing to comply with police instructions. The local authorities haven't gotten close enough to rocket man to tell him to stop yet.
Yeah - in April. Old news.
