(CNN) -- Emergency crews called off a search in Texas for the wreckage of a C-17 transport plane after reports Monday of a possible crash proved unfounded.

Callers to the Olney Police Department said they saw a low-lying plane, and a spokesman for Sheppard AFB initially reported a crash, but then retracted the report.

Air Force officials said an Air Force C-17 had been flying at low altitude near Olney, but the plane returned safely to Altus Air Force Base in southwest Oklahoma.

???????
a plane crash that was a MISTAKE?

c'mon


This is absolutely absurd. Both civilian and military ATC know when a bird is in the air, and they freak when any radar blips disappear, comms are lost or the transponder stops squawking. If they began a rescue and search effort, there WAS a downed aircraft. No ifs ands or buts.

What the hell?

(CNN) -- Emergency crews have called off the search in Texas for a C-17 transport plane.

Initial Air Force reports of a crash were incorrect, an Air Force spokesman told CNN affiliates.

The Olney Police Department had reported that callers said a plane was flying low to the ground, and then crashed.

Olney is about 45 miles south of Wichita Falls and 130 miles west of Dallas.

A rancher in the area reported that a search was conducted in the area.

"These are not the droids you are looking for..."

Dallas, TX (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–Breaking news: Olney, Texas residents have flooded the phone lines of local police authorities reporting an Air Force plane crash in a wooded area about 45 miles south of Wichita Falls and 130 miles west of Dallas. Sheppard Air Force Base officials, which is north of Witchita Falls, could not confirm the military transport airplane crash.


Flooded, they saw something

A few people can mistake a loud sound for a crash, but I don't think it would quantify "flooded".

Guesses? Did the C-17 run into a cloaked UFO? How far is Olney from Stephensville?

Officials: C-17 crash report not true

An Air Force C-17 did not crash Monday morning in Olney, Texas, contrary to a CNN report, according to Mike Kucharek, an Air Force spokesman at North American Aerospace Defense Command.

A C-17 out of Altus Air Force Base, Okla., was flying over Olney, which is about 130 miles west of Dallas, during a training mission, but the crew returned safely, said service spokesman Ed Gulick.

The Olney Police Department did receive a 911 call Monday morning from a person who reported a “downed plane in a pasture,” but city officials never found a plane despite a search that included the police and fire department, she said.

The 911 caller did not specify the plane was an Air Force C-17, but when Olney police called the Federal Aviation Administration they were told a C-17 was the only aircraft flying near Olney, Bond said.

Air Force officials said the C-17 crew was performing a map-of-the-earth exercise where the pilots fly at an extremely low altitude, which Gulick said could be perceived as a near crash. Pilots fly map-of-the-earth patterns in combat to evade radar identification.

somebody pushed the uncrash button.

anyone around the area?

CNN says the plane RETURNED to Oklahoma.....

I'm just thinkin that if a plane crashed around here, I'd certainly know it.....

There were a bunch of threads about black chinooks flying low over Seattle last week too.

How did the report change from "switchboard was flooded" to the PD receiving "a" 911 call?
