2nd Lt. Douglas A. Stuart

2nd Lt. Douglas A. Stuart was the key GCI controller at Calumet AFS who tracked and guided the ill-fated intercept of the F-89 over Lake Superior. His testimony is the key part of the account on which the US Air Force accident report is based.

It is my interpretation that some parts of his written statement are probably untrue as they are in contradiction to other evidence - particularly with respect to the RCAF C-47 being off course by 30 miles and this being the reason for the intercept.

However, this is my interpretation. I doubt he would provide a false statement, unless this was done under duress. It would be interesting to know what he might have to say about his memory of this incident, if he is still alive out there somewhere.

During the course of my investigation, I had a telephone conversation with Ray Stanford, a UFO Investigator, who was at one time affiliated with famed (and much maligned) contactee, George Adamski. It was very interesting to talk to Ray Standford who provided some interesting memories about his time with Adamski. Like many of Adamski's acquaintences, he spoke about George in perhaps less than laudatory terms.

With respect to the Kinross Incident, he told me that his brother had once met a GCI operator who was a key observer of the Kinross Incident. I am not certain if this was supposed to be Lt. Stuart or another observer. His brother told him that he had met this man at university, (in Texas I believe), where the man was studying to be a minister or priest. The man had apparently told Ray's brother that the radar target of the bogie in the Kinross Incident was very unusual, very large and consisting of a number of parallel lines.

Of course, this is just third hand hearsay, but I include it because it might lead to more information from GCI operators who participated in or witnessed the Kinross Incident on radar and radio.
