The United States Marine Corps frantically called 911 after losing one of its F-35 Fighter planes in an airborne “mishap” that led to a crash in South Carolina, according to newly released audio files.
The $90 million stealth jet went missing on Sept. 17 over the state’s Lowcountry region after its pilot safely ejected and the plane continued flying unmanned into the unknown as it disappeared from view.
“I believe we potentially have an aircraft that went down in Williamsburg County earlier today,” a major from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort told a Williamsburg County 911 dispatcher, according to audio files obtained by ABC News.
“You believe you have an aircraft that went down in Williamsburg County?” the befuddled dispatcher asked in response.
