FBI Investigates Mysterious Deaths and Disappearances of Scientists

The investigation was prompted by the disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, who vanished in February, leaving behind his phone and glasses.
Rep. Eric Burlison highlighted the suspicious nature of McCasland's disappearance, noting that several scientists involved in advanced aerospace research have gone missing or died since 2022.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Burlison have launched a formal investigation, seeking information from federal agencies about the missing scientists.
