The radar at Pearl Harbor was ignored on the day of the attack because it was mistaken for a group of incoming American planes. This led to a lack of preparedness and contributed to the surprise attack by the Japanese forces on December 7, 1941.

Who was Lieutenant Kermit Thomas in World War 2?

Perhaps you mean, "Who was Kermit TYLER?" If so, he was the lieutenant who ignored the radar operator's report of the incoming Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Tyler reportedly believed that the radar was picking up some B-17s that were more or less expected. His unfortunate contribution to the annals of military quotations was, "Don't worry about it."
