Military officials revealed that they had discovered debris in South Carolina after an F-35 fighter jet went missing over the weekend.
The Joint Base Charleston (JBC) said in a post on Facebook on Monday evening that officials from the base and the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) located in Beaufort, South Carolina had “located a debris field” two hours northeast of JBC.
“Personnel from Joint Base Charleston and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, in close coordination with local authorities, have located a debris field in Williamsburg County,” JBC said in the post.

In addition to teams from JBC and MCAS Beaufort, the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing from MCAS Cherry Point, a team from the Navy Region Southeast, personnel from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and a team from the Civil Air Patrol had been working together to locate the missing F-35 fighter jet.
JBC and MCAS Beaufort posted a joint Facebook statement on Sunday asking for the public’s assistance in finding the more than $80 million missing plane after the pilot was ejected due to a “mishap” and the plane continued flying.
