Debris from the F-35 jet was discovered in Williamsburg County, South Carolina on Monday, a day after it went missing.
The pilot of the F-35 fighter jet, that went missing last week, ejected from it due to an "aircraft failure" and called the emergency number 911 after landing in a resident's garden. The BBC said that the unidentified pilot was flying over Charleston, South Carolina, when the aircraft encountered a snag and he ejected. The audio of the 911 call has now been released in which the pilot is heard saying he was "not sure" where the $100m plane was.
The owner of the house is also heard explaining that the pilot had landed in his backyard.
The pilot said he felt "Okay" after ejecting at approximately 2,000 feet and only his back hurt.
