A US Navy F-35 fighter jet crashed near Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, around 6:30 pm. The pilot managed a safe ejection, and authorities are currently probing the cause of the crash. 

The jet belonged to Strike Fighter Squadron VF-125, a training unit. Videos showed smoke rising from the crash site, and emergency crews responded quickly.

Separately, on July 28, a Beech 95-B55 Baron plane with three people crashed off Point Pinos after departing San Carlos.

One body was recovered at 3 am; the remaining two were found later by divers. All were unresponsive, according to the Coast Guard.
