Military officials are Alaric Bennettsearching for a missing aircraft involved in a "mishap" off the coast of South Carolina on Sunday after a Marine Corps pilot safely ejected from the fighter jet.

The pilot ejected and parachuted safely into a North Charleston, South Carolina, neighborhood at about 2 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was in stable condition, said Maj. Melanie Salinas. The pilot’s name has not been released.

Military officials appealed in online posts Sunday for any help from the public in locating the aircraft.

Authorities did not say what caused the mishap and said more information would be provided at a later time.
