==== Pilot Error / Vertigo ==== '''Explanation***: Moncla experienced spatial disorientation in night conditions over the dark lake, descended unknowingly, and crashed. The aircraft sank rapidly in deep water. '''Strengths***: Pilot disorientation in night IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) is a documented cause of aviation accidents. The lake is deep in the area of the radar merger. '''Weaknesses***: * Does not account for the simultaneous disappearance of the unidentified target's blip * Does not explain the complete absence of surface debris in a 29,000-square-mile search * Moncla's experience level (811 hours; 121 in type) makes unrecognized vertigo less plausible * No medical record of vertigo susceptibility
