String of missing or dead scientists \u2018too coincidental\u2019 not to be major concern, congressman says \u2014 as 11th mystery emerges<\/a><\/p>\n

\"A
\n<\/a>A group of scientists have either mysteriously died or gone missing in the past three years.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday.<\/p>\n

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said his office had already been eyeing some of the \u201ctoo coincidental\u201d disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost \u201ccertainly\u201d linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information \u2014 and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a rallying call to pay attention to this issue and make sure that our nation\u2019s top scientists are safe and secure,\u201d Burlison told \u201cFox & Friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this. We need to have our nation\u2019s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the scientists, Burlison noted, \u201cliterally just disappeared\u201d without a trace \u2014 including\u00a0Air Force Maj. Gen. William \u201cNeil\u201d McCasland<\/a>, who vanished in February after Burlison said he tried to contact him twice about his research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) \u2014 government-speak for UFOs.<\/p>\n

Investigators claimed McCasland had experienced \u201cmental fog\u201d before disappearing from his home in Albuquerque, NM.<\/p>\n

The retired general had worked in top positions pertaining to space research and acquisition, with his name even appearing in the WikiLeaks dump of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta\u2019s emails, with former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge claiming to have conversed with him about UAPs.<\/p>\n

In many cases, the congressman continued, these scientists \u201cfelt some form of threat\u201d and \u201cleft all of their devices at home\u201d before they dropped out of sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not normal,\u201d Burlison said on Fox. \u201cThese are some of the most advanced scientists, researchers in our nation, some of the most important people for national security efforts. And they all just mysteriously disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Burlison\u2019s call for \u201cbipartisan support\u201d for a federal probe into the concerning cases comes after another scientist\u2019s mysterious death came under scrutiny Thursday,\u00a0NewsNation reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amy Eskridge, 34, who was involved in extensive research into anti-gravity technology, UFOs and extraterrestrial life, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at her home in Huntsville, Ala. in 2022,\u00a0according to the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her death was ruled a suicide and no public information was released.<\/p>\n

Before her death, Eskridge had launched a research company, \u201cThe Institute for Exotic Science\u201d in order to create a \u201cpublic-facing persona to disclose anti-gravity technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

She chillingly said that she had started the company because \u201cif you stick your neck out in private\u2026 they will bury you, they will burn down your house while you\u2019re sleeping in your bed and it won\u2019t even make the news.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eskridge revealed in a 2020 interview that she had plans to disclose information about UFOs and extraterrestrials to the public \u2014 and was receiving threats as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to disclose soon, man. I need to publish soon because it\u2019s like escalating. It\u2019s getting more and more aggressive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been going on for like four or five years, and over the past 12 months, it\u2019s been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eskridge partnered with retired British intelligence officer Franc Milburn to investigate the alleged harassment, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Milburn, who submitted his findings to Congress in 2023, concluded that Eskridge did not kill herself and at one point was attacked by a \u201cdirected energy weapon\u201d that burned her body with microwaves.<\/p>\n
