It probably fell into a wormhole and is in another dimension.I don't mind too much but it's frustrating when you watch it hit the ground and can't find it afterwards.
It happens all the time with tiny metal screws. When you drop them from your table and they fall onto the floor, they make a "tink" sound one or more times. That resonant frequency will usually separate time and space to create a wormhole in which the screw gets sucks into.
The funny thing is, these small little screws will sometimes return from an alternative dimension. The problem is, they can return to any point on earth and only on occassion will it return to a point that's close to where it originally left.
This phenomenon doesn't occur when the screw is dropped onto carpet, b/c no correct frequency is produced to create the wormhole when the screw hits the carpet. However, when you take a vacuum cleaner, the sound from the screw when it bounces around inside the machine will sometimes create a wormhole b/c it also creates the correct resonant frequency. But often the sound isn't the right frequency, so you can usually find it in the canister or bag in the vacuum cleaner if you look hard enough.
In the case of model rockets, it could be the snap swivel or other part of the rocket hitting something on the ground to make the correct "tink" sound that creates and opens the wormhole. It's more likely with BT-20 or smaller rockets, though.
