Losing control of an airplane AFTER THE PILOT EJECTS is par for the course. They are not equipped with remote control. If the "mishap" was a failure of the aircraft onboard systems, that easily could include any transponder signals.
A classic example was the loss of a Canadian CF-101 at the Abottsford BC Air Show in 1976, where the airplane came apart in mid-air and the wreckage landed in the U.S. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=54979
Unless it came down in the ocean, there's enough population on land in say a 500 mile radius of where it "allegedly" was ditched. Provided, it wasn't refueled midflight or gracefully landed remotely.
Right now, I'm leaning towards it being a WH op, most likely just through MSM channels to make Bidet's military look like a bunch of buffoons. Where the line of demarcation is between "our military" and theirs, eludes me.
They found its debris field. End of mystery. You have an immense overestimation of how much popular surveillance is available when unpopulated land is involved. I once had fifteen acres of undeveloped land in a rural setting, and went out to it by myself just to look around. A five-acre portion was unharvested forest. I was in the middle of that when I realized that if something happened to me, my cries for help would not be heard by any neighbor...who would never have known that I was there. That was a creepy enough realization that I immediately got out of those woods and left for home.
Anyway, all the knee-jerk conspiracy options are so much nonsense. There have been missing airplanes before. I'm just mildly surprised that so many here are acting like it is something new.

At this point, I'm wondering if the F35 incident happened at all.
Think about it... what's the range on that aircraft? "Hundreds of miles?"
