Exactly. If it crashed into the forest, you probably wouldn’t be able to see unless you were at ground level and within 30-40 ft of the wreck.
Depending on how dense the forest is and the foliage coverage you likely couldn’t spot it from the air.
Reminds me of search planes during WW2. They go out on search patterns over the Pacific and even with nothing but water, it was easy to miss an aircraft carrier unless you were relatively close (within 10 nautical miles).
