The pilot ejected safely and is being treated at a local hospital. Sgt. Derek Gutierrez, a public affairs specialist with the 149th Fighter Wing, confirmed the pilot's condition but did not disclose further details, citing military policy. Witnesses reported hearing a loud crash and saw debris and smoke in a rural area near Alpena, approximately 190 miles north of Detroit.
