Given the pilot's age he was either an IP or qualifying on the F-35, but in either case he is an experienced pilot.
Ejected pilot of F-35 that went missing told 911 dispatcher he didn't know where fighter jet was

To be frank if he ejected, how would he know where it is?

Your link didn't work for me. Saw this one post of the 911 call:
Aside: I understand 911 dispatchers aren't military or aircraft experts In any way but, holy cow, she does not understand at all what's being told to her.

The article stated that he is 48 and an experienced pilot.
The crash is often viewed while in the harness.
I think the poor dispatcher thought she was getting pranked at first. Or had a mentally unstable person showing up at a house claiming to be a pilot.
Homeowner: Hello, 911? I have a pilot that fell from the sky into my backyard.
911: Okay sir. Are you with the patient?
Pilot: It was 2,000ft, I fell 2,000ft.
911: Okay, hold one moment. *Thinking to herself..."These kids are getting more brazen in their prank stories"*
That's the cartoon picture in my head.
