The fate of the Air Force pilot was unknown.

Within minutes of the notice, a night-time recovery mission was launched , tapping the talents of the elite special operations team that stands ready to rescue downed and injured pilots from stormy seas or from behind enemy lines.

A NATO-AWACS Aircraft was aloft at this time, and was transmitting Satellite images of the area. It was reported that the terrain in this area looked relatively uninhabited. A large lake surrounded by woodlands and hills.

In terms of latitudes and longitudes, The Air Force thinks they pinpointed the exact location of where the aircraft actually crashed, and the location where the pilot went down.

At 9:37 p.m. Eastern time, three specially equipped high speed Air Force MH-60G Pave Hawk and MH-53J Pave Low flying helicopters were at the pilot's last know location. The helicopters were skimming over treetops at more than 150 mph, swooped in to search for the pilot. It is reported the pilot was carrying a top secret military cargo, finding him is paramount to ensure the safe return of his cargo.

The pilot, identified as Air Force Colonial Anderson had reportedly ejected safely and parachuted to earth not far from where his $43 million radar-evading plane had crashed. The Pentagon has not said what caused the plane to go down.

Air Force Colonial Anderson was decorated 25 times. His awards include 2 Legion of Merits, 5 Distinguished Flying Crosses, the Bronze Star, 16 Air Medals and the French Croix de Guerre, as well as many campaign and service ribbons.

An Air force spokesman stated: "Pilot's are well trained in survival training, without disclosing classified information, First, there is an attempt to ensure that the pilot remains secure,Second, that he remains undetected by those in the area who would threaten him, and third, that he has the ability to provide the kinds of signals that would allow us, to locate him --- geo-locate him, authenticate his presence, and then pick him up and take him out". There was no communications from the pilot, and It was hopeful the pilot was in survival training mode awaiting rescue.
