No plane crash found after unproven report - Jefferson County, West Virginia

CHARLES TOWN - A report of a possible plane crash Thursday in Jefferson County turned out to be unfounded. 

A thorough search for the reported downed aircraft was conducted Thursday afternoon, but didn't result in any crashed aircraft being located.

Jefferson County Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley said a caller reported seeing an airplane turning in the air before spiraling toward the ground between Summit Point Road and W.Va. 51.

A Maryland State Police helicopter that was assisting in an unrelated search effort for a missing teen in Ranson Thursday flew to the area, but didn't locate any airplane or wreckage.
