Alien Lore No. 248 - The Merge: the disappearance of Lieutenant Felix Moncla

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Ed.
Ufo 11 Jet Fighter Sfw
US Air Force Pilot Lieutenant Felix Moncla was stationed in 1953 at Kinross Air Force Base in Michigan when an airborne object showed up on the radar. 

Moncla scrambled his F-89 Scorpion interceptor to investigate.   Second Lieutenant Robert L. Wilson acted as the Scorpion's radar operator.  Wilson was unable to track the object on the Scorpion's radar, so ground radar operators fed the Lieutenant directions as he flew at 500 miles per hour toward the mysterious object. 



Moncla eventually closed in on the UFO at about 8000 feet in altitude. As he approached the object,   ground radar reported seeing his aircraft merge with the UFO. 

Both objects vanished from the radar.  People theorize that he had had a collision with an unreported aircraft, but Canadian aviation authorities swear there was no such aircraft in the area at the time of “the merging”

No confirmed debris or wreckage was ever found below the merging point, and the fate of Lt. Moncla and his radio operator remain unknown.
