There were several possible explanations that could account for what was found on the ground.

The only evidence that could have determined the actual sequence of events went down with the seat.

Ah... that was about 75 miles NE of where, when I was about 13 or so, I saw a pair of F-105s fly past below me.

My family was on a rock-hunting trip about 15 miles NE of Wendover, and my father and I were on a small peak - there was another peak about 300 yards to the west, and the Thunderchiefs flew through the saddle between them (about 100' above the saddle and about 25' below me).

This was about 1975, in the summer. The hills & ridges rise rapidly in that area, and are just as bare of vegetation as the flats.
