#4  I looked in our back yard, and it wasn't there. My wife said, "Look again. It is stealth, after all."

#3  I just read that the pilot punched out at 1,000 feet and the aircraft was directly over suburban North Charleston. Yet on auto pilot it flew another 60+ miles before crashing. Obviously not a 'Great Santini" moment for the pilot, and something doesn't sound right?

...Non-zero, but not likely if for no other reason than the bird was lost within a relatively short distance of six major military bases and not entirely unpopulated areas (I live just about 75 miles from the crash site).

What I think we're going to find is a combination of weather and systems failure.
