The Kinross UFO incident

[RedeZra]

First Lieutenant Felix Eugene Moncla, Jr. (October 21, 1926 – presumably died November 23, 1953) was a United States Air Force pilot who mysteriously disappeared while pursuing an unidentified flying object over Lake Superior in 1953.

This is sometimes known as The Kinross Incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Moncla), after Kinross Air Force Base, where Moncla was on temporary assignment when he disappeared.

"Head-On" with UFO


Amazing new photos have been released by The Great Lakes Dive Company concerning their discovery of the famous Kinross F-89 Scorpion jet fighter that disappeared over Lake Superior on November 23, 1953. The plane had been ordered to investigate an unknown object that was being tracked on radar.

this is at the top of the page, not sure if it was on when posting

"Editor's Note: The Great Lakes Dive Company has disappeared, if it ever really existed. All attempts to contact Adam Jimenez, the alleged company spokesperson have also failed. Unless further evidence is presented or discovered it should be assumed that the discovery of the downed F-89 Scorpion is a Hoax!"

The pic of the F 89 shows a shadow cast that is highly unlikely at the bottom of Lake superior, the water would have to be crystal clear .... an obvious fake IMO !
