This week Remember This tells us the story of the mysterious disappearance of an F-89 fighter jet over Lake Superior. A mystery that remains unsolved
On the evening of Nov. 23, 1963, an unidentified flying object was detected on radar flying over 500 miles per hour in restricted airspace above the Soo Locks. In response, the Kinross Air Force Base, located a few miles south in Michigan, launched an F-89 Scorpion jet in hot pursuit to investigate the anomaly at 6:22 p.m.
Then, the jet disappeared. Both radar and radio communications ended abruptly. The unidentified blip veered in another direction and vanished. The UFO turned out to be a C-47 aircraft belonging to the Royal Canadian Air Force flying from Winnipeg to Sudbury. Investigators believed Lieutenant Moncla suffered from intense vertigo and crashed into Lake Superior while returning to base.
Fifteen years later in 1968, 106 kilometres north of Sault Ste. Marie, prospectors were exploring Cozens Cove when they discovered aircraft wreckage on the shores of Lake Superior. The news was delivered to a UFO organization in the United States and quickly circulated on paranormal forums, blogs and websites. Eventually, the company revealed that a radioactive “metallic disc”, presumed to be from a flying saucer, was located not far from the underwater wreckage. When pressed for details, the company claimed the Canadian government had quarantined the site from further access.
