The US Coast Guard was looking for the pilot who illegally landed a plane on a New Jersey beach the agency controls on Sunday, June 24. Witnesses told investigators the pilot ran away after landing the plane in Cape May, a news report said.

The plane landed at the US Coast Guard Training Center Cape May just before 8 pm, and the training center was on heightened security because of the incident.

Several people saw the red plane flying erratically in Wildwood and West Wildwood before it landed. This video shows the plane in West Wildwood. Credit: James McGovern via Storyful
