There was a wingman. He should have see where the plane went down and the fact that the parachute opened after the pilot ejected.

More information:

* The wingman stayed with the open chute.

* The mishap F-35C was on autopilot when the pilot ejected, and the aircraft continued on in level flight.

* The transponder of the mishap aircraft was not functioning, so the zombie aircraft was not tracked on ATC radar.

Wow!

I wonder if the software ejected him?!?!?

Flight continued??? OMG

And yeah, domestic air traffic control radar would have like ZERO chance of getting a skin paint off that aircraft.

The mystery deepens.

I find this fascinating. I wonder if the entire flight path was entered, or just heading, altitude and speed.

Movie worthy at this point.
