HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. —
Roswell fire officials said they were told one person was on board the jet.
Holloman Air Force Base spokesman Tom Fuller confirmed the QF-4 jet went down, but he was unable to immediately release further details.
The plane crashed in the grasslands between Roswell and Artesia, sparking a fire that covered at least 80 acres, state forestry spokesman Dan Ware said.
No structures were threatened.
Holloman officials said they will have a safety board look into crash.
The QF-4 drone is used as a target for weapons testing. It can be flown by remote control or with a pilot.
