In the summer of 1986, a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk went down in California's Sequoia National Forest. At first, the US Air Force tried to keep the crash a secret. But as public interest grew, authorities tried to disguise the aircraft's identity by replacing the wreckage with parts from a McDonnell F-101A Voodoo.
Ironically, these actions only heightened the public's interest in the event.
