KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Breaking news, this out of Florida. We're attributing this to the Associated Press. We're reading that a military plane is down after crashing in the pasture land near the St. Lucie-Okeechobee line. County sheriffs there in St. Lucie saying that the military plane went down at the V-Bar-2 Ranch. According to one witness, he didn't see anybody eject from the plane.

Right now, officials don't know if there are any survivors. The wreckage is smoldering right now, but it's not in flames. The plane probably came from Cecil airfield base. That's according to the Associated Press, but there's no word yet now on what model this plane was or how many people were aboard. We'll continue to follow this plane crash as we get more developments.
