The Kinross Incident as told through standard UFO lore is dominated by
unanswered questions relating to the merging of the F-89's return with that
of the unidentified craft over Lake Superior. While there is certainly much
to doubt in the various official explanations for the event, there are also
several other mysteries which tie into the F-89's disappearance.
One mystery was revealed in the testimony of Lt. Bill Mingenbach who was the
first F-89 pilot to begin the search for Moncla and Wilson's missing
aircraft. Lt. Mingenbach believed that he heard a radio transmission from
Lt. Moncla about 40 minutes after the F-89 disappeared from radar. Was it
Lt. Moncla speaking in this transmission?
A
second mystery is what was behind the reports from an Algoma Railway crew
who heard a jet crash some period after the F-89 was lost from radar. Was
this possibly the sound of the F-89 crashing in the northern Ontario bush?
A
third mystery is the reports of aircraft parts which were found in the bush
north of Sault Ste. Marie in 1968. The USAF and Ontario Provincial Police
concluded the parts were from a crashed fighter jet and it was proposed that
these parts might have originated from the F-89. This possibility was later
discounted, but mysteriously it seems like the identity of the parts was
never revealed to the public. What plane was it that was found and why was
this information not revealed?
