The White House is investigating the deaths and disappearances of several scientists and U.S. government employees who had access to classified information on nuclear and space issues.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, spoke on this topic on Thursday: “I hope it's something random, but we'll know in the next week and a half. I just got out of a meeting on that topic. It's a pretty serious thing.”
One of the cases is that of retired Air Force Major General William “Neil” McCasland, 68, who disappeared in February from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with no evidence that he was disoriented at the time of his disappearance. During his career, the military oversaw highly classified programs for the military and his wallet and a .38 caliber revolver

McCasland is one of 10 cases involving missing scientists with ties to military and government research in the United States. An audio of Susan Wilkerson, McCasland's wife, recorded her saying: “My husband is missing. I have indications that he must have planned not to be found,” according to NBC News.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about these cases: “There are already 10 American scientists who have disappeared or died since mid-2024. According to reports, everyone had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material. Is anyone looking into this to see if these facts are connected?” , asked journalist Peter Doocy
.
Leavitt responded: “I've seen the report, Peter. I haven't spoken to our relevant agencies about this. I certainly will and we will give you an answer. If true, of course, it's something that this government administration would consider worthy of investigating. Let me do that for you
.”
Before retiring, McCasland oversaw a classified program “linked to UFO research.” As this information became known, many have wondered if that investigation could have turned him into
a target. The White House investigates the mysterious disappearance of 10 scientists linked to nuclear projects
