Most likely is an air taxi from somewhere nearby. Or someone just dropping

The problem is not so much landing as it is leaving. Not only do you have
to get ATC clearance, but the problem of getting sufficient separation to
avoid wake turbulence can cause major delays. You can find yourself
sitting in the grass waiting for a line of jets to clear.

When in the pattern at John Wayne International in a 172 the tower
advised me to "increase speed or depart the pattern" as the DC-10
behind me was about to run over us :-) Landing can be an adventure.
