Let’s examine the facts:
Location -Glendora California when I was 14 years old (1955)
I was playing in the street and saw this jet flying very low streaming smoke and I saw the pilot trying to force the hatch open which was stuck. (So, very likely military if this isn’t a complete fabrication).
He then aimed the plane in the middle of a street where it hit and dug a hole ten feet deep. (So am exceedingly heavy single seater aircraft traveling very fast to blow that kind of a hole)
Not a word of this event in newspapers or on any air catastrophe resource I can find. I suspect that when Sonhouse joined the air farce, he used his power and influence to cover up the disaster.
@hand-of-hecate saidI saw a dragon spew flames that fried a turkey when I was seven. Further evidence? If I'm not lyin.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidA "little"?
Have no reason to doubt Sonhouse's sincerity.
You seem a little fixated on the fellow to be honest.

The pilot of a North American F-86F Sabre out of Norton AFB, California, is killed when he crashes in San Dimas, California, on Sunday afternoon, on W. Allen Street, digging a hole six feet deep and 30 feet wide. The aircraft, which one witness said came across San Dimas in a southeasterly direction, passed over a park and narrowly missed a group of 200 Little League players picnicking there before striking power and telephone lines and exploding in the street where it ruptured a gas main and set fire to trees in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Bayer. Several grass fires were extinguished as well. Air Force officials withheld the pilot's identity pending notification of the next of kin. His body was not immediately recovered.[211] The Daily Sun, San Bernardino, California, reported on 10 July that the pilot was identified as Lt. Oliver L. Dillingham, 23, from Williams AFB, Arizona. He entered the Air Force in 1950 and saw service in Korea in 1954. The story also adds that the explosion after the crash set a house alight and slightly burned two girls.[212]

It wasn't Glendora, it was San Dimas where we also lived. Long time ago.
This report is from the official list of military jet crashes.
@sonhouse saidVery good. My apologies for doubting you.
