CNN *might* be retracting this story. It now says the Air Force *HAS NOT* confirmed.
Anyone else seeing the same?
story says they are searching for the crash. Trust me, with the fuel load on a C-17, there's going to be a gigantic plume in the sky if they crashed.
Perhaps this was a false report after overflying some skiddish folks on a low level?

That's right near Altus Low level routes. False alarm?

A spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety said the search for possible plane crash in southern Archer County has been called off. DPS spokesman Tony Fulton told the Times Record News searchers have found no evidence of a plane crash. He said the reports were initiated by a person or persons who saw a large aircraft flying low in the area, then disappearing late this morning. First reports indicated the plane might have been a commercial aircraft. CNN network reported a military C17 aircraft had gone down in the area, quoting Sheppard Air Force Base as a source. However, a Sheppard spokesman told the Times Record News the base here had no knowledge of a plane crash.
A large number of emergency vehicles converged in an area in Archer County north of Olney, but Fulton said no crash site was found.
