An F-22 Raptor crashed here on March 25, 2009. While scouting out the crash site from four miles away, I was briefly detained by some very polite Air Force Security Forces on ATVs. I was told that there a UAV present over the crash scene. The entire site was excavated and sifted. Some plants were even planted back in non-random order.
