A pilot flying an F35 stealth fighter jet put the plane on auto-pilot and then ejected. The U.S. military is still looking for it:

How is there not a tracking device and we’re asking the public to what, find a jet and turn it in?
Maybe because the whole point of a stealth bomber is that it's hard to find? It's a war machine, not your keyring. You don't put an Apple Airtag on it.
Except two things... The F35 is not a bomber and they do put all kinds of trackers on it so that it doesn't end up being the wrong people that find it first. It was definitely at least broadcasting its ADSB in FAA controlled airspace on a training mission. It wasn't flying over Afghanistan or something.
I'm actually more surprised that they lost control of it. I'd sort of expect it to have drone capability by now.
I'm certain that's what will define 6th generation fighters. NGAD is supposed to be pilot optional.
I doubt it would need to go into stealth mode over Afghanistan either.

Well, it'll run out of fuel eventually
We finally left one up there.
Pretty sure this is how Airwolf started.

That, and 80s cocaine-fueled meetings with executives trying to figure out how to do Knightrider in the sky.
This is not the first time I've hidden something in a meme and nobody finds it
Nice, you found the jet
Well I don't see anything
Didn't they find it? I'm pretty sire they already did
