They spent millions of dollars on modifications and put some of the jets back into use with one caveat. Pilots could only fly them up to 80% of their total speed. However, the grounding orders may have only partially solved the problems. Well, speaking of crashes...

This wasn't even the only jet from Monclaw and Wilson's squadron to meet an untimely end on November 23rd, 1953. Earlier that day, another F-89C had crashed in Madison, Wisconsin, killing both passengers. Felix Monclaw's wife heard about the news and went to console the pilot's wife mere hours before her own husband would go missing.

News reports from the time indicate that mechanical problems may have happened so suddenly that the passengers didn't have time to bail out or even radio that they were in distress. Which could explain Monclaw's radio silence.

The Kinross incident remains an aviation mystery. Although for a short while in 2006, it seemed like part of the mystery had been solved. That's when somebody calling themselves Adam Jimenez claimed he and his Great Lakes dive company found something promising at the bottom of Lake Superior. They posted sonar images on their website of what they believed to be the missing jet.

It's always difficult to pinpoint where certain rumors get started, but it's safe to say that Donald Kehoe's book helped to popularize the Kinross incident and the UFO theory. Shortly after the publication of his book, Kehoe became the long-serving director of NICAP, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena.

When it comes to the Kinross incident in particular, though, perhaps he wasn't the leading authority. In fact, he got a lot of details wrong. For example, throughout his book, he actually calls Kinross Kimross with an M, but he did make some good points in the larger scheme of things.
