A Rocket Scientist With Ties to That Missing Military UFO Researcher Has Also Disappeared. While Three Other Scientists Have Been Murdered. And DC is Finally Taking Notice.
Education Images. Getty Images.You may be aware by now that one of the most accomplished military minds of our time just up and walked out of his house in New Mexico and vanished without a trace:
As disturbing and worrisome as it is that Maj. General McCasland, and all the knowledge contained within his big brain, are nowhere to be found, you probably aren't disturbed or worried enough. Because a pattern of such disappearances is emerging. Including a literal rocket scientists who was part of McCasland's program has, as they say, also turned up missing:

And when it comes to our best and brightest researchers suddenly being silenced, McCasland and Reza are not alone:
Source (paywall) - Retired General William Neil McCasland, 68, and NASA aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, were both major figures in the Air Force Research Laboratory. The general oversaw Reza's work on creating a futuristic metal for rocket engines.
Within the span of eight months, both have mysteriously vanished without a trace while allegedly hiking in the Southwest United States.
McCasland's reported ties to secret UFO programs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and Reza's work with space-age technology used for advanced propulsion, have led many to claim without evidence that the pair are fleeing from parties that wish to silence them because of what they know.
Independent researchers and even a member of Congress fear the pattern has grown even darker after three scientists in the fields of chemical biology, nuclear fusion and astrophysics were murdered or found dead in just the last three months.
One of those renowned scientists was working on a breakthrough that could one day revolutionize science, creating an unlimited energy source that may end fossil fuel use as we know it.
Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett told the Daily Mail he saw a clear pattern in these seemingly unrelated deaths and disappearances, noting that the work several of them were doing has been linked to theories about extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Taking these surreal, unnerving cases in no particular order:
[McCasland] did not take his phone, wearable devices and prescription glasses, leaving behind any way of tracing or contacting him. …
Reza was the co-inventor of the special metal called Mondaloy and was serving as the Director of the Materials Processing Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory when she vanished without a trace last summer … and the case remains unsolved.
Meanwhile, the deaths of the other three scientists have been equally disturbing.
Nuno Loureiro, 47, was assassinated at his home in the Boston suburb of Brookline on December 15, 2025. … Loureiro, a respected physicist, had recently become the director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was reportedly on the brink of revolutionizing the energy sector as we know it. …
Astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, 67, was killed in his home on February 16, 2026, after being mysteriously gunned down on his front porch around 6am local time.
Grillmair had contributed to the discovery of water on a distant planet, with colleagues calling his work 'ingenious' and adding that the research could point to signs of life less than 160 light-years from Earth. …
Meanwhile, the remains of 45-year-old Jason Thomas were discovered on March 17 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. …
His work reportedly focused on using chemistry and biology to discover and create new medicines, including potential treatments for cancer.
Novartis has active contracts with the US Department of War.
Let's review. A man who headed a major Pentagon research facility that in all likelihood dealt in reverse-engineering UFO technology - and who at the very least was found to be giving advice to Blink 182's Tom DeLonge as he was founding the UFO disclosure group To the Stars Academy walks away from his home without the barest of essentials. A woman who is creating a new alloy that just so happens to be crucial to space travel is on a hike with a friend, he loses sight of her, and she's never seen again. An MIT professor working on revolutionizing the energy sector is shot and killed in his home. As is an "ingenious" astrophysicist whose work might have changed everything we know about life in the cosmos. And a chemical biologist who was working with the Pentagon and trying to cure cancer is found dead. All within a handful of months.
If this was happening to muffler mechanics or Starbucks baristas, it would be cause for alarm. The fact it has involved the most brilliant scientific minds we have, all dealing with some facet of aerospace and/or the War Department should have us all in full-blown, five-alarm, Panic Mode. Whether this is all coming from a foreign government, elements of our intelligence operations, corporate interests who don't want to see cheap renewable energy and the end to cancer, or actual aliens, is all just a matter of degrees. Any or all of these hypotheses are haunting. I'm glad there are people in congress who feel the same way.

And hopefully there will be some disclosure on this so we can finally get some answers. But that seems like a fool's hope. It's much more likely we'll be looking back in a few months asking ourselves, "Remember those missing researchers and murdered scientists? Whatever happened with that?" And the focus of our attention will be the price of gas or something the new Bachelorette did.
In the meantime, we wait for more information. And hope no more of our rocket scientist types vanish without a trace. We'll need all of them we can get once our alien overlords decide to attack.
