The defense department now tells ABC news there is no missing or crashed plane in Southern Kentucky.

ABC originally reported that the military had confirmed there was a missing plane in the Woodbine area of Knox County.

Witnesses told Action News 36 they saw a low-flying military cargo plane with smoke coming from and engine.

Another witness told us the plane had clipped some trees.

None of the witnesses say they saw or heard the plane crash.

The 1st Air Wing in Alabama, which tracks all air traffic in the U.S., says there are no missing aircraft.

They say a plane was conducting a training mission in that area earlier today, but that plane landed safely at Pope Airforce base in North Carolina.

Good, maybe the pilot was able to pull it out and land it safely.

I was going to say the WVANG flies C-130s out of Martinsburg but the Air Wing in Alabama would know about them too.
