1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,280 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,480 In this episode we're talking about the Ken Ross incident and 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,000 asking what really happened. That's correct, the Ken Ross 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,880 incident, what really happened. Now this whole event happened 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,720 back in November 23rd, 1953. A very strange case. 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,600 I want to get into a little bit of the background first. 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,360 I found this over at Wikipedia and I thought they actually did 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,760 a pretty good job on it. The person involved here, the 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,440 main character is Felix Monclau and now they tell us First 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,840 Lieutenant Felix Eugene Monclau Junior. 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,040 He was born in 1926, presumed dead November 23rd, 1953. 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,520 Was the United States Air Force pilot who disappeared while 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,880 performing an air defense intercept over Lake Superior in 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,480 1953. His disappearance is sometimes 15 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,000 known as the Kinross Incident, after Kinross Air Force Base, 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,200 where Moncla was on temporary assignment at the time he 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760 vanished. The US Air Force reported that 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,040 Moncla had crashed into Lake Superior while tracking a Royal 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Canadian Air Force RCAFC 47 aircraft, which was off course. 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,480 According to the report, the pilot of the Canadian aircraft 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600 did not know that he was the subject of an interception. 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,080 Because that's the narrative that they go with. 23 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,280 They always have to make up a story right from the get go. 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,440 Now just getting a little bit of background on Felix Moncla. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,840 He was born in Mansura, LA October 21st, 1946 to Felix 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Senior and was a high school science teacher who was his dad 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280 was a high school science teacher, principal and veteran 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,960 of World War One and his mother was Yvonne Baradon Moncla. 29 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,160 She was a seamstress. It says he has two older 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,600 sisters. Not long after his father had 31 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440 been hospitalized, Monkla's family moved to Morrillville, 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Louisiana to live with his uncle and great aunt. 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,800 Monica attended. Monkla attended high school in 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,120 Morrillville and upon graduating from high school, accepted an 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,160 athletic scholarship to Southwest Louisiana Institute 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400 where he played football and received his Bachelor of Science 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,240 degree. After graduation, he enlisted in 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560 the United States Army and served during World War Two. 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360 After his service, Monkla attended the University of New 40 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,160 Orleans but re enlisted in the military at the start of the 41 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,360 Korean War in 1950, this time joined the United States Air 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840 Force as an officer pilot trainee. 43 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200 After spending a few months at a desk job in Dallas, TX, 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,080 Montclair was sent to Connelly Air Force Base in Waco for basic 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400 pilot training where he met married Bobby Jean Coleman. 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,280 He took his advanced pilot training at Reese Air Force Base 47 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,960 in Lubbock and further training at F 89 Scorpion at Tyndall Air 48 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,760 Force Base in Panama City, FL. In Panama, Bobby Jean gave birth 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,560 to their first son in July 1952. In July 1952, Monica and his 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880 family moved to Madison, WI and had a daughter born five months 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,520 before Monica's disappearance. This is a young guy, 27 years 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,800 old, newly married, he's got a couple kids and then this 53 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,320 happens. Real tragedy. 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,880 On the evening of November 23rd, 1953, Air Force Command ground 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,880 intercept radar operators at So Saint Marie, Michigan identified 56 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,200 an unusual target over Lake Superior near the Soo Locks. 57 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,960 An F89C Scorpion jet from Ken Ross Air Force Base was 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160 scrambled to investigate the radar return. 59 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,520 The Scorpion was piloted by First Lieutenant Moncla, with 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880 Second Lieutenant Robert J Wilson acting as a Scorpion's 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,800 radar operator. Wilson had a difficult time 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,640 tracking the object on Scorpion's radar, so ground 63 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:32,480 radar operators gave Moncla directions toward the object as 64 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160 he flew. Moncla eventually closed in on 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,160 the object at an altitude of about 8000 feet. 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Ground control tracked the scorpion and the unidentified 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680 object as two blips on the radar screen. 68 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,080 The two blips on the radar screen grew closer and closer 69 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,680 until they seemed to merge. Assuming that Moncla had flown 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,600 either under or over the target, Ground control anticipated that 71 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,040 moments later, the scorpion and the object would again reappear 72 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440 as the two separate blips. There was a fear that the 73 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,960 objects had struck one another, but the single blip continued on 74 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,240 its previous course. The whole thing is they saw this 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160 radar blip come up. Of course, this is 1953. 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,920 It's coming across the SOO locks up there. 77 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,320 That's the very top of Michigan, right there where it meets the 78 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,720 Upper Peninsula, mostly toward the West side, kind of in the 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,360 center right there. They sent up this first 80 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,840 Lieutenant Monica to intercept this thing. 81 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,560 They're assuming that it's a Canadian airplane, maybe cargo, 82 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520 whatever, and let it know, hey man, you've crossed over the 83 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,760 border, you're on our side. You guys are lost now. 84 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360 This is at night time. Attempts were made to contact 85 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Mont La via radio, but without success. 86 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,720 A search and rescue operation by both the US Air Force and the 87 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,160 Royal Canadian Air Force was quickly mounted, but failed to 88 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,600 find any trace of the plane or its pilots. 89 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Weather conditions were a factor in hampering the search. 90 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,120 Wow. So they're flying toward this 91 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,640 blip, whatever it is, and he doesn't say, hey, I see it, he 92 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,080 just disappears. The official US Air Force 93 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,040 Accident Investigation report states the F89 was sent to 94 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,600 investigate an RCAFC 47 Skytrain which was travelling off course. 95 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,000 The F89 was flying at an elevation of 8000 feet when it 96 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,320 merged with the other aircraft, as was expected in an 97 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,120 interception. It's IFF signal also disappeared 98 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,960 after the two returns merged on the radar scope. 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,880 So they're 8000 feet up. It merges. 100 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000 So I'm assuming that's flying above or maybe below this 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320 aircraft. And then when it should be 102 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,920 coming out to where you can see that's gone past the oncoming 103 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,360 aircraft, it disappears. It's hard to imagine he could 104 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,720 have crashed a plane that quickly. 105 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,560 I mean, he would have had to just drop out of the sky like a 106 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,880 rock. When you think this doesn't make 107 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,800 any sense, it's IFF signal also disappeared after the two 108 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680 returns merged on the radar scope. 109 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,800 Although efforts to contact the crew on radio were unsuccessful, 110 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,720 the pilot of another F89 sent on the search stated in testimony 111 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,720 to the accident board that he believed he heard a brief radio 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,240 transmission from the pilot about 40 minutes after the plane 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,880 disappeared. Now that's weird. 40 minutes? 114 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,520 This thing had to be going what, at least what, 300 mile an hour? 115 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,600 400 mile an hour. So he would have had to be a 116 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,400 couple 100 miles away you would think. 117 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640 US Air Force investigators reported that Mankla may have 118 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,960 experienced Vertigo and crashed into Lake Superior. 119 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560 Now this is right where the parallel narrative starts. 120 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Right at the beginning, the US Air Force said that Mankla had 121 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,280 been known to experience Vertigo from time to time. 122 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,040 Additional leads uncovered during this later course of 123 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,120 investigation indicated that there might be a possibility 124 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,600 that Lieutenant Montclair was subject to attacks of Verticore 125 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,920 a little more than the normal degree. 126 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:03,320 Upon pursuing these leads, it was discovered that statements 127 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,720 have been made by former members of Lieutenant Michael's 128 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,280 organization, but were not first hand evidence and were regarded 129 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240 as hearsay. So nothing like throwing a 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,080 little bit a little bit of hearsay into the mix. 131 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,920 Pilot Vertigo is not listed as a cause or possible 'cause in any 132 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760 of the US Air Force Accident Investigation Board's findings 133 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,640 and conclusions. So right off the bat, we have a 134 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,800 missing pilot. We have an unidentified object 135 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,120 and instead of trying to track down all the facts and figures, 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,640 we end up with this parallel negative. 137 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,760 The official accident report states that when the unknown 138 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,760 return was first picked up on radar, it was believed to be an 139 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:46,920 RCAF aircraft VC 912, but it was classified as unknown because it 140 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,000 was off its flight plan course by about 30 miles. 141 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,320 This assertion emphatically denied by the pilot of this RCAF 142 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,280 flight, Gerald Fosburg, when he was interviewed for the David 143 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Sherniak documentary the Montclot Memories produced for 144 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Vision TV's Enigma series. So here you go, fall guy. 145 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,000 So we have an unidentified object overlake superior. 146 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,200 They send him up. Now, this Canadian fellow, he's 147 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,080 30 miles away, but the US government comes in and says, Oh 148 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,120 yeah, this Gerald Fostag driving the RCF flight, he was the one 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,040 that we were looking for. He was, he was off course. 150 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720 This guy says no way. I was not off course. 151 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,840 According to UFO writer Donald Keyhole in his 1955 book The 152 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,919 Flying Saucer Conspiracy, he received a telephone call 153 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:39,760 telling him of a rumor out at Selfridge Field that an F89 from 154 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,240 Ken Ross was hit by a flying saucer. 155 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 But a follow up call to public information officer Lieutenant 156 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Robert C White revealed that the unknown in that case was a 157 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120 Canadian DC3. It was over the locks by 158 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,440 mistake. There you go. 159 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,960 It looks to me like just another lie to cover this up. 160 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,440 I mean, first thing is they tell us, hey, there is a blip on the 161 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,120 radar over the Sioux Locks. OK, we'll go up and have a look. 162 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Nothing said about this Canadian plane flying 30 miles away or 163 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,600 this Canadian DC3 that was mistakenly there, just this 164 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,360 blip. Information officer Robert C 165 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840 White revealed that the. I don't think this is a 166 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,720 revelation. I think this is a statement. 167 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760 The unknown in that case was a Canadian DC3. 168 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,200 It was over the locks by a mistake, right? 169 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720 The locks refers to the restricted airspace over the SOO 170 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,040 locks at so Sainte Marie, Sioux Saint Marie, rather on the US 171 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,720 Canadian border at the southeast end of Lake Superior. 172 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,520 Yeah, restricted airspace. I don't know if you've ever been 173 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,880 up there on the border waters, the boundary of waters. 174 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640 What are you going to call up there between Michigan and 175 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640 Canada? But I've been up there and if 176 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,400 you get within, I don't know, probably a mile, half a mile of 177 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,840 the Canadian border. They've got boats out there. 178 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,400 They're very protective of their border, as is the US. 179 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,600 Well, used to be so the idea that the Canadians could just be 180 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,520 flying across the US border there in this protected airspace 181 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,520 repeatedly makes no sense to me. Now it goes on here, tells a 182 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,000 little bit of what happened afterwards. 183 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,560 This is a classic case. You have this radar, unknown 184 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:27,520 object detected on the radar. They send this piled up with 185 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,240 this copilot radar operator guy, go find it. 186 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,760 They find it, they disappear. So then what happens? 187 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,720 Well, immediately the government creates a parallel narrative, a 188 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,360 couple parallel narratives they just keep spewing out. 189 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880 I mean, it takes a lot of lies to cover up the truth. 190 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,320 So first thing they say it was this Canadian what transport 191 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,440 plane? Skytrain. 192 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,840 And the pilot, they track him down and he says, no, that 193 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,520 wasn't me, I was 30 miles away. So they lied about that guy. 194 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,200 When that didn't work, they claimed that there was another 195 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,880 cargo plane that the Canadians had wandered over into 196 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,960 restricted Air Force airspace. How can we assume they're 197 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480 telling the truth about these, either one of these planes? 198 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880 And if those two planes were right in that area, why didn't 199 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,880 we see them on the radar? So anyway, it says it is 200 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240 possible that aircraft parts found near the Eastern Shore of 201 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,680 Lake Superior in late October 1968 or from the missing F 89. 202 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,600 Sure. AUS Air Force officer confirmed 203 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,120 the parts were from a military jet aircraft and news reports 204 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,440 speculated these might be from monocles F89. 205 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,960 The identity of the parts was never published in the Canadian 206 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,520 government states they have no record of the find. 207 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,440 So here we go, another one of these narratives. 208 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,280 Well, somebody found something somewhere and that's probably 209 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,880 it. But there's no chain of custody, 210 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120 There's no follow up. It's just a rumor that they 211 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,360 plant in the news media here it says, and here's another one. 212 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,840 There's still, there's the guy's been gone for what, 70 years? 213 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,440 They can't help themselves. They can't stop lying about it. 214 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,480 Here's 1 from 2006 Great Lakes Dive Company hoax According to a 215 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,560 story circulating among UFO buffs on the Internet, in 2006, 216 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040 a group of Michigan divers calling themselves the Great 217 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Lakes Dive Company discovered Montclass F89 at the bottom of 218 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,480 Lake Superior in the approximate location where the jet had 219 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,520 disappeared from radar. Another made-up story. 220 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,680 A story circulating among UFO buffs. 221 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600 I would like to know who planted that story. 222 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,680 Pretty deep water out there. I would think to define that 223 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:35,480 thing at the bottom of Lake Superior would take some 224 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960 specialized equipment. I know that water's really, 225 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,120 really cool. I don't think this is the sort 226 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,440 of thing that a group of scuba divers who just do this on the 227 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,360 weekend for a hobby would be able to pull off. 228 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,720 If that water is as deep as the rest of the Lake Superior and as 229 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,280 cold as the rest of the Lake Superior, you'd really need dry 230 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,760 suits and you might need, you know, specialized breathing 231 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880 apparatus, all that you get down over, you know, 100 feet. 232 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240 What you see the government doing here every time is instead 233 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,680 of looking at this whole story and thinking about it 234 00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:11,160 critically, they want to tell you a child's story. 235 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:12,960 They want to treat you like a child. 236 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120 Yeah, he did go up there, but it wasn't a UFO. 237 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520 It was this Canadian airplane. Oh, wait a minute. 238 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040 No, not that one. Oh, it was this airplane over 239 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,560 here. Oh, not that one. 240 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 How did the how did his craft just disappear off of radar? 241 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,920 Another question that hasn't been answered by the government 242 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,080 is this other pilot says, yeah, I heard, I think I heard a call 243 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,560 from him on his radio 40 minutes after he disappeared. 244 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,760 That's some scary stuff. What if this giant UFO just came 245 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,520 along and just snatched you up and you're calling from the 246 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,600 cargo hull, one of these things that's pretty frightening? 247 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,440 Let's hope not. So there's a lot of unanswered 248 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,040 questions about this whole case. But the one common thing that we 249 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,560 do see is just the way that our government just lies to us 250 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:01,000 constantly about this stuff. There's no end to it. 251 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,240 They just continuously make up new narratives. 252 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,320 Now I want to take a look at one more article on this before we 253 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,360 finish up. So we'll finish up with this 254 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,000 article from jackandkitty.com. Looks like a couple of citizen 255 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,640 journalists over here. The title of their article says 256 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,440 revisiting the Ken Ross incident. 257 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,920 Air Force pilot vanishes chasing UFO over Lake Superior. 258 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,960 They dated this July 22nd, 2024. Duluth, MN Dateline On November 259 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,840 23rd, 1953, First Lieutenant Felix Monclaw and 2nd Lieutenant 260 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,560 Robert Wilson vanished while pursuing an unidentified flying 261 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,920 object over Lake Superior. This event, known as the Ken 262 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120 Ross Incident, remains one of the most intriguing UFO 263 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,000 mysteries in Midwestern history. the US Air Force claimed Monaco 264 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,200 crashed into the lake while tracking a misidentified 265 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,920 Canadian aircraft, but the real Canadian Air Force disputed this 266 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,240 explanation, insisting none of their planes were in the area. 267 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840 So there you have it. We have what looks like the true 268 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,040 story. Hey, there's a UFO, go check it 269 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,760 out. And then we have the narrative, 270 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,160 oh those were Canadian airplanes. 271 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,920 If the one doesn't work, the other one will. 272 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640 And candidates say no, not our planes. 273 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,600 Felix Eugene Moncler Junior, born on October 21st, 1926 in 274 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Missouri, Louisiana, was a dedicated service man with a 275 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,840 rich history. He served in the US Army during 276 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320 World War Two and later joined the US Air Force during the 277 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,920 Korean War. Moncler, affectionately known as 278 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,920 Jean, was stationed at Ken Ross Air Force Base in Michigan when 279 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680 he disappeared. His family, including his wife 280 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,280 Bobby Jean, and their two children, were living in 281 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,120 Madison, WI at the time. On that fateful evening, radar 282 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,920 operators at Soul Saint Marie, Michigan, detected an unusual 283 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,760 radar return over Lake Superior. Monkla and Wilson were scrambled 284 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,440 in an F89 Scorpion jet to investigate. 285 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760 As they approached the target, the radar blips are their jet 286 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,800 and the unidentified object merged. 287 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Ground control expected to see the tube lips separate again, 288 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,360 but only one continued on its path. 289 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Radio contact with Montclair was lost and a search and rescue 290 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,880 mission yielded no trace of the plane or its crew. 291 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080 You got to wonder. It just so happens that it gets 292 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,280 right to the blip and then disappears. 293 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,200 You can't see it, like, go descend it, you know, off the 294 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,400 radar into the water. That's weird. the US Air Force 295 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520 concluded that Montclair had crashed while intercepting the 296 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,560 Royal Canadian Air Force C47 aircraft that was off course. 297 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 The pilot of the Canadian plane was reportedly unaware of the 298 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,480 interception. Yeah. 299 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,920 So an airplane flies right over the top of you and you don't see 300 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,160 it, not even aware of it? I don't know, pretty strange to 301 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,320 me. The official report suggested 302 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Montclair may have suffered from Vertigo causing the crash. 303 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,080 I'm not sure that was that in the official report. 304 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360 I don't think that was that was listed as a cause. 305 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040 However, this explanation has been met with skepticism, 306 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,800 especially since the RCAF denied having any aircraft in the 307 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800 vicinity at the time. Several aspects of the Ken Ross 308 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800 incident continue to fuel speculation. 309 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,520 In 1968, aircraft parts were reportedly founded near the 310 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,480 Eastern Shore of Lake Superior, which some believed would be 311 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,480 from monoclass F89. However, the identity of these 312 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,920 parts was never confirmed, leaving the mystery unresolved. 313 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,480 Yet. We don't even know what their 314 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 aircraft parts. They just were reportedly OK. 315 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,319 No, nothing. Nothing official on that at all. 316 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,920 In 2006, a group called the Great Lakes Dive Company claimed 317 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,000 to have discovered Montclass Jet at the bottom of Lake Superior, 318 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,560 reigniting interest in the case. This story was later debunked as 319 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,400 a hoax, but it highlighted the enduring fascination with this 320 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,480 enigmatic event. I think that this dive company 321 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,320 story was just planted by somebody, honestly, because why 322 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,240 else would you do it? Just just to throw something in 323 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,960 there? So the casual reader, the normie 324 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600 says, Oh yeah, they found that plane. 325 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,040 Despite the passage of time, the disappearance of Felix Mocular 326 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,240 remains a poignant reminder of the mysteries that continue to 327 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,760 captivate the human imagination. And then they have to talk about 328 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,480 the monument they have down there at at the cemetery in 329 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,160 Louisiana. It says the Ken Ross incident is 330 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,040 a classic story of Midwestern UFO lore, embodying the 331 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,800 intriguing and mystery intriguing mystery that 332 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,280 surrounds many UFO encounters. To me, this is a classic case of 333 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,680 cover up is what this is. You see this so often in these 334 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,400 government cases. You have a legitimate recorded 335 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,720 event, in this case the UFO flying over the locks. 336 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,680 Something happens, so there's an official action. 337 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,640 In this case, they send up these two pilots to investigate and 338 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,960 then everything becomes murky. Then it goes up, plane 339 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,600 disappears, We don't see it go down the radar. 340 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,400 We don't have anything, any kind of a call from them. 341 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,160 No distress calls, no mayday calls, nothing like that. 342 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,320 Just off the charts. And we're to believe that he got 343 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,360 Vertigo. Nobody called for Mayday. 344 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:52,000 Nobody called for help. I mean, he got there OK. 345 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,680 How was it that he managed to fly out into into the middle of 346 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,560 the fly out, you know, over here to the locks several miles away. 347 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,400 He was able to do that, but he couldn't turn around and come 348 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,400 back. He flew his airplane into the 349 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,680 into the Lake Superior. And why didn't they? 350 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,360 Still haven't found it. There's no wreckage. 351 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,200 No wreckage came up, no body parts, no foam from the sea, 352 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,320 nothing like that. Very, very strange. 353 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,160 What we see after this whole occurrence then is the narrative 354 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,280 that gets put out there by the government after that. 355 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Well, it was this Canadian airplane or it was that Canadian 356 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,120 airplane. They just keep changing the 357 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,360 story as they go along. That's the thing. 358 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,840 The truth never has to has to change. 359 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,480 The truth will stand on its own. But when you're telling lies 360 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,160 that cover up the truth, then frequently those stories have to 361 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,840 change all the time because people find out the truth. 362 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,320 In this case, they lied and said, well, this was this sky 363 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,440 train airplane flown by the Canadian military. 364 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840 And somebody tracks down the pilot and he says, no, that 365 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,920 wasn't me. I was 30 miles away. 366 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,720 Definitely not me. Oh, OK. 367 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,400 Well, it must have been another airplane from Canada, but they 368 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320 don't have any proof of it. No, I should say no evidence of 369 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,600 it. Then they just continue on years 370 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,320 later. Well, we found some 196815 years 371 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,520 later, well, we found some airplane parts washed up on the 372 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,080 shore. That's interesting. 373 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,600 This airplane crashes in what, 100 feet of water, 200 feet of 374 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,040 water, I don't know, 50 feet of water and the parts wash up on 375 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,080 the shore. 1520 thirty miles away somewhere. 376 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,760 That's interesting. I wonder how that happened. 377 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,280 But there's no, there's no follow up on it. 378 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,040 Nobody comes out and says, hey, I found these parts, let's take 379 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,200 these parts to an expert and determine what they are. 380 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,720 There's no, there's no analysis of the evidence, just a story 381 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,840 that shows up in a news feed somewhere. 382 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:53,680 They're seeding the narrative. Then we go along 2006, we're 53 383 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280 years later at this point and we have more lice coming forward. 384 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,360 Well, the Great Lakes Dive Company found this guy. 385 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Really. Wouldn't that be what kind of 386 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,120 dive equipment did they use? Who are the the members of the 387 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,440 Great Lakes Dive Team, company, whatever? 388 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,800 Who are these guys? Story just circulates through 389 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,600 the UFO community like wildfire and then it it's found out to be 390 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,800 a hoax. They just keep putting stuff out 391 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,600 there because they don't want to be accountable. 392 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,280 They don't want to tell the truth. 393 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,600 Hey, we sent this guy up to investigate a UFO and we don't 394 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,000 know what happened to him. Now, reportedly, another pilot 395 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,440 said that they heard a transmission from this poor man 396 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,920 40 minutes later. That's some scary stuff. 397 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,400 But that's just swept under the rug. 398 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,280 This Ken Ross case, I think it just shows you the playbook that 399 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,240 was used. I mean, they've been, they've 400 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,760 been operating out of the same playbook since the first time 401 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,520 they saw one of these things and they didn't want you to know 402 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,280 what they were. Interesting case. 403 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,800 Very sad case really, even though it's over 70 years old 404 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,680 now. Until next time, this is UFO 405 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,800 warning over now.
