I HAVE A NEW BOOK COMING OUT APRIL 8TH!
If you enjoy my 200-word stories, then A Quick Test is the perfect book for you. 45 tales about aliens, outer space, science gone wrong, and conspiracy theories. I’m not only about vampires as the snippet below proves. 😉
The traps were set, and the cameras ready. Adrenaline pumped through my veins, making me alert to the faintest of sound and the tiniest movements. This time, I would not fail. I would be triumphant. Soon, everyone would know my name. They’d clamor to know my story. How did I do it?
How did I catch it and prove that Bigfoot was real?
Each story is told in 200 words. You can read them while standing in line at the grocery store. Or picking up your kid from school. If you’re waiting to see your doctor…well…you can probably finish it then. (Seriously, why are wait times so long for a 5 minute visit?)
A Quick Test releases April 8th, but if you pre-order today, you can get it for only 99cents.
THE KINROSS INCIDENT
The Kinross Incident another one of those mysteries that’s in my backyard. Again! I’m confused to why I’ve spent most of my life not knowing about these things. Someone has failed me in education! I guess I have no choice but to fix this grave error.
Let’s dig in.
It was the evening of November 23rd in 1953. An unidentified target was spotted by the Air Force radar controller over Lake Superior in restricted air space. Pilot Lt Felix Moncla and his radar operator Lt Robert Wilson were scrambled to go investigate. In the air, Lt Wilson had trouble tracking the object. It kept changing course, so ground control directed them over the radio. Traveling at speeds of 500 miles per hour, they gave chase in a F-89C Scorpion jet for thirty minutes. Slowly, they closed in. Then, something strange happened. The two radar blips converged into one.
And then disappeared.
The United States Air Force, the Coast Guard, and Canadian Air Force sent out a search and rescue, but they found no wreckage or signs of the pilots.
They had vanished into thin air.
At first, the Air Force released a statement about the disappearance, stating the jet had merged with an object and vanished.
Then they changed their tune.
A new statement claimed the ground control radar operator had misread the scope. The mission of intercepting and identifying the UFO was a success. It was nothing more than a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft that had flown off course. The Scorpion jet had crashed into Lake Superior as the result of Lt Moncla suffering vertigo on his return to the base1.
Except the Canadians refuted this account. The pilot of the aircraft in question, Gerald Fosberg, also denied the claim in an interview by David Cherniack for the documentary “The Moncla Memories”.
Another detail of this official account I find strange is the vertigo Lt Moncla suffered. Is it just me or doesn’t that seems like something that would disqualify someone to be a pilot? There are claims that he hid it. But is that something that’s easy to hide? Given I don’t suffer from it, I can’t say. It also doesn’t help that him having vertigo is all hearsay.
What really happened?
This is one of those annoying incidents where there are enough conflicting detail to make it hard to figure it out.
The Air Force flip-flopped and changed their statements. Lt Moncla’s widow apparently received contradictory explanations according to Donald Keyhoe, author of Aliens From Space, where he writes about the Kinross Incident. To make matters more suspicious, investigators from the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) discovered the mission had been expunged from official records! But Project Blue Book has a case file that states the mission was a success and reiterates that the jet probably crashed in Lake Superior, which is too deep for them to recover the wreckage.
How convenient, eh?
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED IN KINROSS?
Was there an alien spacecraft that night? Or is the answer more mundane, but tragic? Are we missing a puzzle piece that might give us the truth?
