Felix Moncla

Who was Felix Moncla?

First Lieutenant Felix Eugene Moncla, Jr. 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, after Kinross Air Force Base, where Moncla was on temporary assignment when he disappeared.

The U.S. Air Force reported that Moncla had crashed and that the "unknown" object was a misidentified Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft.

On multiple occasions, the RCAF denied their involvement in the intercept, in correspondence with members of the public asking for further details on the intercept.
