Felix Moncla and Robert Wilson's disappearance
t the height of Cold War tensions, a large radar contact mysteriously
appeared over the Canadian/American border, and slowly made its way North.
Fearing this to be a Soviet airplane attack (and probably the slowest
airplane attack ever), Kinross AFB in Michigan dispatched a F-89 Scorpion
interceptor to investigate. The airplane was crewed by Felix Moncla and
Robert Wilson, which would prove the last time anybody would ever see them.
Eager radar operators watched the small dot of the F-89 close on the
mysterious contact. When the crew was over Lake Superior, the two dots
merged and suddenly vanished. Search parties launched immediately and combed
the Lake to try to find the airplane, with no luck. The F-89 was gone,
taking its two pilots with it.
Immediately, the US Air Force issued statements. At first, they said that
the fighter had been chasing a misidentified Canadian airplane and crashed
for unknown reasons during the intercept. But that seems odd to UFO
investigators, since the Canadian airplane would've filed a report of their
flight plan, and the Air Force would've known the plane was in the air. The
USAF later retracted their statement, now claiming that Moncla had
experienced vertigo and crashed into Lake Superior. That still didn't
explain why the SAR teams couldn't find the airplane, especially since Lake
Superior was covered in ice. An airplane-shaped hole in the ice should have
been easy to spot.
None of the official explanations stuck - to this day, nobody knows exactly
what happened that night. All we know is that the F-89 disappeared into thin
air while chasing a mysterious radar contact. What happened after that is
anybody's guess. The hapless F-89 could be anywhere in the universe.
