    nearly 24 hours later, no news breaks from any of the major military news agencies.

    Assuming it made it safely back to NAS Halsey or MCAS Miramar as its last track had it pointed right at that area.

    Aircraft is back home!!!!

    It just left tracking over Salt Lake City as it approached Hill AFB as of 15 minutes ago
