Although efforts to contact the crew on radio were unsuccessful, the pilot of another F-89 sent on the search stated in testimony to the accident board that he believed that he had heard a brief radio transmission from the pilot about forty minutes after the plane disappeared.
無線で乗組員にコンタクトしようとする努力は不成功であったけれども、もう1機のF-89のパイロットは、その飛行機が消えた約40分後にそのパイロットから短い無線交信を聞いたと信じたと事故委員会への宣誓証言で述べた。
