A Darker Puzzle Emerges Around Dead and Missing Scientists
The suicide of Gen. Sullivan, two weeks after being asked to testify regarding UAP, has rekindled the already infamous investigation into the disappearance of high profile figures.
As previously reported by Sentinel News, the disappearance of scientists working on space technologies has forced President Trump to take action. Is it a statistical illusion or a conspiracy?
On August 28th, 2025, 48-year old Steven Garcia left his house in Albuquerque, New Mexico with a gun, and never returned. Mr Garcia was a government contractor with top security clearance at Kansas City National security campus, a major US Nuclear weapons facility with a covert role in US national defense. Like General McCasland, Garcia was working at a very high-level, overseeing all the assets, reportedly worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Rumours of a potential suicide attempt and of mental illness have been squashed, and parallels have been made with the disappearance of General McCasland, also in the same line of work, and with the highest responsibilities, who also left his house with a gun, also in Albuquerque, and never returned.
On April 16th, the Daily Mail published an article about yet another dead scientist. 34-year- old Amy Eskridge, who was working on anti-gravity technology, studied by UFO researchers who explain this is at least one of the ways UFOs can travel the way they do. In 2020, Eskridge announced that she was planning to present novel foundational work regarding antigravity but needed approval from NASA.
Although the US government denies the existence of recovered UFOs, and that work on them is therefore not possible, the many scientists, politicians, military personnel and Intelligence officers who spoke in the film ‘The Age of Disclosure’ asserted that the government is wrong about that. Secretary of State Marco Rubio even explained that the matter is so highly classified that even the U.S. Presidents do not know about the matter because the projects are operating on a ‘need-to-know’ basis’.
In the military and intelligence services, the ‘need-to-know’ is a restriction to access data that is considered very confidential and sensitive. Even if someone has all necessary clearances to be read into highly sensitive programs, they cannot access data that is under ‘need-to-know’ restriction.
Amy Eskridge’s cause of death has been reported as suicide. However, it is claimed that she warned previously that her life was in danger. Since her passing, some details, including an unearthed interview with Eskridge herself and independent findings submitted to Congress have pointed to the possibility that Eskridge’s death was not a suicide and was instead part of an elaborate ‘murder’ conspiracy. Eskridge’s father, himself a retired NASA plasma scientist who-co-founded the ‘Institute of Exotic Science’ with his daughter, rejects the claims of murder and insists that his daughter committed suicide. The institute’s stated mission is to make speculative science available to the public rather than keeping it buried in secret programs.
This brings the number of deaths or disappearances of scientists linked to nuclear, space or UAP research to eleven.
Prior to the announcement of Eskridge’s disappearance, on April 15th, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, when asked about the ten disappeared scientists, said that she was aware of the reports but could not confirm that an investigation was underway. She promised to seek answers from relevant agencies, and if the reports are true, she expected they will be investigated.
Some of the UAP caucus members have been very vocal about raising concern over the coincidences linking all these cases. Representatives Tim Burchett and Jared Moskowitz suspect foul play and call for serious enquiries and even congressional hearings on the matter. In an interview with News Nation aired on April 17th, Burchett went so far as to say that if we go back far enough in time, it is more than 10 scientists who have died in suspicious circumstances.
Representative Eric Burlison said that the matter had first come to their attention last year when General Matthew Sullivan (not yet added to the infamous list), apparently committed suicide two weeks after being asked for an interview which he did not attend with the UAP caucus. A report was sent to the office of the Inspector General, who deemed it ‘urgent and credible’ and referred it to the FBI. Burlison added that the caucus had reached out to General McCasland twice to interview him about his research on UAPs. He did not answer and mysteriously disappeared. Burlison insisted on the fact that the disappearance of such highly important scientists for national security did not sound right. For instance, the circumstances are too similar. He reminded us that Monica Reza, Stephen Garcia, Anthony Chavez, Melissa Casias and General McCasland went left their home without their phone and vanished. It is too much of a coincidence to be innocent.
When it was suggested to him that China, Russia and Iran could be involved because they are the main competitors to the US in the fields of nuclear power, advanced weaponry and space race, Burlison agreed that it is indeed a possibility. He calls for an investigation by top investigators in the FBI and every agency. He also revealed that multiple scientists have reported some sort of threat. He added that this a rallying-call on a bi-partisan basis , and he and his colleagues at congress are urging immediate investigation.
The rallying-call was heard and on Thursday 16th of April, President Trump told reporters that he would order an investigation into the matter.
On Friday 17th of April, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on X that the White House was actively working with the FBI and all relevant agencies to identify any potential commonalities that may exist between cases involving a number of government scientists and officials who’ve either vanished or died in recent months. Leavitt cited “recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases” and said “no stone would be unturned” in the multi-agency effort.
In an interview on Sunday 19th of April, retired Brigadier General in the US Air Force and former deputy military representative to NATO Blaine Holt declared that two cases could be seen as a coincidence but he ‘doesn’t buy it’ when it is eleven, and asserted that these are not a coincidences. He said that we need to understand what exactly these scientists were working on and find the common denominator. He also asked why the White House initiated the probe when the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA have failed to do so and are not looking at it as an anomaly. He added that in the executive branch, there is a very big split between who thinks it is a concerning issue and who doesn’t, and he thinks it is very revealing. He didn’t elaborate on that but joined the chorus of voices demanding to treat the matter with the highest level of enquiry.
When asked if foreign involvement could be suspected, co-host Retired U.S. Navy Captain Brent Sadler added that he would not dismiss the possibility but insisted that investigators should follow the evidence. He also believes an investigation should take place because of the high level of similarities between these cases. He deplored that the White House had to be the instigator of the probe rather than any agency.
The affair is gaining momentum, and it has even reached European shores, with ‘Le Parisien’ newspaper, one of the first ones to take the matter of UFOs seriously, reporting on it.
