Lieutenant Felix Moncla

On November 23, 1953, a US Air Force F-89C jet fighter interceptor was dispatched from Kinross Air Force Base near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to identify an intruder that had appeared on radar.

For thirty minutes, the jet raced out over Lake Superior under guidance from radar operators at a remote station on the Keweenaw Peninsula. 

Suddenly, the return from the jet merged with that of the bogie it was chasing. 

The IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) signal from the jet was lost. 

The radar blip from the F-89 never reappeared. 

An extensive search of the lake and shoreline over the next five days yielded no trace of the F-89 jet or its crew, pilot Lt. Felix Eugene Moncla Jr (picture). and radar operator Lt. Robert L. Wilson.
