A US military jet has crashed in Virginia but the status of the pilot
is unknown, military officials say.
Witnesses near the crash site in the town of Deerfield reported
hearing a loud noise and seeing a large plume of smoke in the sky.
Officials lost contact with the Massachusetts Air National Guard F-15
shortly before the crash, police said.
No injuries on the ground have been reported and rescue workers have
been dispatched to the area, police added.
Augusta County Sheriff's office said the plane went down at around
09:00 local time (13:00 GMT).
Jenny McNeal, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office, said the crash
site was in a rural area near Deerfield town in George Washington and
Jefferson National Forest.
