Kinross incident

Record summary

USAF pilot Felix Moncla and radar operator Robert Wilson disappeared while intercepting a radar target near Kinross Air Force Base over the Great Lakes region. UFO accounts claim the fighter merged with or was overtaken by an unknown object, while official and later Canadian accounts have associated the target with a conventional aircraft, including a Royal Canadian Air Force C--? aircraft identification dispute. The case matters for radar interpretation, cross-border air defense, and missing-aircraft records. The disappearance is historical; the extraordinary collision narrative remains unverified.
