Bit by bit, more details have been emerging about the bizarre disappearance of an F-35 Lightning II combat jet over the Carolinas earlier this week. At first, the Marines claimed to have no idea what sort of malfunction might have caused the pilot to eject from the plane, leaving it to fly on its own for a period of time before finally crashing near Indiantown, South Carolina. On Wednesday, we were informed that the pilot had ejected because of “bad weather,” despite the fact the other jet flying with him had proceeded back to base and landed without any reported issues. Now, a recording has been released of a 911 call placed by the owner of the property where the pilot landed with his parachute. He can be heard requesting an ambulance for the pilot, who later got on the call himself and similarly asked for medical assistance to be dispatched. His injuries were later described as “minor.” (Associated Press)Read More
