The United States military has lost their pricey F-35 fighter jet following a pilot's ejection from the vehicle, and they still cannot find it.<\/p>\n

Military delegates are now scrambling to find the missing vehicle, which has been misplaced following a manic rush to get a pilot out of the \u00a365million jet. No signs of the jet are forthcoming so far and it could be travelling for 'hundreds of miles' more. <\/p>\n

Last spotted flying over South Carolina, the jet costs a pretty penny and the event has been described as a "mishap" which may cost the US army millions. Even their knowledge on the jet is currently "limited".<\/p>\n

New information on the autopilot system has revealed the vehicle could travel for miles more after the ejection, with a Hauge Centre for Security Studies expert saying the plane could carry on for hours, reports the Mirror.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frederik Mertens said: "Historically, an aircraft without a pilot can fly a long way on autopilot."<\/p>\n

Terminology used by the force mark "mishap" as an event which "results in death, injury, illness or property damage."<\/p>\n

Whether the jet has caused any such damage, death or injury is yet to be seen. The pilot of the craft was thankfully unharmed following his ejection. <\/p>\n

The unnamed military personnel was taken to a nearby medical centre in a stable condition. <\/p>\n
