I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

If anyone here says they know I'm sure they will be sought out and contacted in a very short amount of time.

A UK operated fast strike jet designed and manufactured by the United States, operating in the Mediterranean... and the first post tries to point at China :palm:

I'm going into tin foil hat production, make myself a fortune.

Like almost all aircraft accidents, there will probably be several factors which occurred to produce this unfortunate result any of which could have prevented it, until an investigation is completed what exactly those factors are is total guess work. 

Gregg:
Once upon a time:
There was an airplane that contained multiple switch mode power supplies.  >:D
These SMPS were not properly grounded because the plane was in the air; DUH!  :palm:
The resulting resonances between these SMPS caused high voltage spikes that caused some inferior chips sourced from an unnamed magical place to fail.
If the avionics engineers had only pestered the astute members of the EEVblog enough, they may have been able to avert the multitude of problems.  :popcorn:
The disabled airplane tried to dive into the treez, but the pilot bravely managed to make it to the water and managed to survive; only because of his trusty LED survival beacon not sourced from the same magical land as the faulty SMPS.  :-+
The rest is history and the pilot lived happily ever after.  :-DD

In the 1960s the german government bought from the US more than 900 "Starfighters" (Lockheed F-104A and revisions). About 300 of those crashed one after the other, killing 116 pilots. Among them an air accident where four pilots died at the same time in 1962. The son of the german minister of defense died in 1970. German airforce terminated the program in 1971.
