In early evening of November 23, 1953 a USAF F-89 jet was scrambled from Kinross AFB in Sault St. Marie, Michigan to intercept an unknown target over Lake Superior. As it approached the 'bogey', on the base radar scope the two blips merged over Canadian waters. The single blip then moved off to the North West and disappeared. Lt. Felix Eugene Moncla, the pilot, his radar operator, and their F-89 fighter were never seen again. Gord Heath , a computer systems engineer, was born in Fort William on the shores of Lake Superior in the Spring of 1954, about nine months after the Kinross Incident. After a UFO sighting in 1999 he became interested in the UFO phenomenon and he began reading up on its history. When he came across the Kinross Incident bells went off. It resonated with many of the strange occurrences stretching back to his early childhood as if it was connecting all the dots. It prompted Gord to do a flurry of research. He began to devote his vacation time to visiting the places where the missing pilot, Gene Moncla, had lived. And the memories began to come...not just vague images, but detailed recollections of the life of Gene Moncla and, even stranger still, the detailed recall that Moncla was his genetic father. The Moncla Memories explores Heath's strange recollections. It revisits with him the places where Gene Moncla lived and worked, including his family in Louisiana where a genetic test is done to determine if Heath is, as he recalls, Moncla's genetic son. In the process the film examines the abilities of the mind to assemble fantasy with fact and how we give meaning to our lives through the memories we selectively construct.
