But, you know, the US has a UFO crash retrieval program, that knows where any spaceship crashes in the world, and will be first on the scene to scoop it up.
N. Charleston isn't exactly a remote area and SC is full of military bases as is neighboring Georgia and North Carolina.
Unless it went into the ocean, somehow unseen, I don't know how it could be lost. Unless it was truly stealth.
stealthy military aircraft operating in or near civilian controlled air space carry lungberg lens radar reflectors that allows it to be detected and tracked like normal aircraft by air traffic control radars. but air traffic control don’t have great coverage of low altitude, in hilly terrains, and far away from major airports, and don’t necessarily have great data refresh rate, so if the F-35 were operating below, say 1000 feet it may not show up on any radar or show up only intermittently.
