The Kinross UFO Incident is an unexplained UFO case that occurred in 1953. This article explores the details of the incident that resulted in the disappearance of First Lieutenant Felix Moncla and his jet.

Kinross UFO Incident

On November 23, 1953, the US Air Defense radars picked up an unusual blip and dispatched First Lieutenant Felix Moncla from Kinross Air Force Base to investigate over Lake Superior. However, the Kinross UFO Incident took a strange turn and resulted in Moncla and his jet disappearing without a trace.

Details of the Incident:

The Scorpion piloted by Moncla and with Second Lieutenant Robert L. Wilson as the on-board radar operator, took off into the evening skies, but ground radar operators had to take over as Wilson struggled to track the unidentified aerial object on the Scorpion's radar. Eventually, the ground control tracked two blips on the radar, one being Moncla and Wilson and the other being the mysterious aerial object. As the two blips grew closer, they merged on radar, and ground control assumed that Moncla had flown above or below the aerial object. However, the two blips didn't separate shortly after, and there was a cause for concern that the two aircraft had collided. The single blip continued on its previous course, and it was assumed that Moncla was following it directly above or below, but ground control failed to contact Moncla and Wilson while in-flight, and the single blip faded from radar.

Unexplained Disappearance:

Despite an immediate search and rescue operation by the USAF and the RCAF on land and sea, Moncla and his jet never appeared back on radar and were never seen again. The disappearance of Moncla and the jet remains unexplained, even after 70 years.

Similar UFO Cases:

The Kinross UFO Incident has similarities with the disappearance of Flight 19 in 1945, which is another unexplained incident that involved five Navy bombers that vanished during a training mission over the Bermuda Triangle.

Conclusion:

The Kinross UFO Incident remains an unsolved mystery, and many theories have been proposed to explain the disappearance of Moncla and his jet. However, to this day, there is no clear explanation of what happened on that fateful night in November 1953.
