A typical reason that an unguided aircraft flies into the ground is that it runs out of fuel. You seem to think that the crash happened in view of anyone.
No. What I'm saying is, typically when someone see something out of the ordinary, the phone camera pops out and they start recording. Giant fireballs, thick black smoke, planes flying erratically. etc. I find it very unlikely that the fighter jet ran out of fuel and crashed only a couple hundred miles away from where the pilot supposedly ejected.
Payne Stewart's jet flew from Florida to South Dakota before it ran out of fuel. Unless the F-35 was on full afterburner (doubtful since reports are saying autopilot was engaged) it wouldn't go quite as far.
Where was the debris field found? In the middle of a parking lot, or in the forest beyond the suburbs? If the airplane ran out of fuel, there would be no smoke. If it was capable of stable flight, it would not be "erratic." Why do you think it is so unlikely that it ran out of fuel? Do you know how much fuel it was loaded with, and how much it had already burned off? If it was in hover mode, it wouldn't have traveled very far before running out of fuel (or the front fan failed). If the pilot wasn't on board, it wouldn't have been in afterburner. You are really operating on the basis of a fancy, not facts.
