The Missing

On the morning of February 27th, 2026, a retired two-star general walked out of his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and never came back.

He left his phone on the counter. He left his prescription glasses. He left his wearable devices. He took a .38 caliber revolver, a red backpack, and nothing else.

A gray Air Force sweatshirt was found about a mile and a quarter from the house. That is the last physical trace of Major General William Neil McCasland.

The FBI joined the search within two weeks. Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office released a detailed timeline. An unseasonably warm spring complicated recovery efforts. As of this recording, McCasland has not been found. Investigators say they have discovered no evidence of foul play.

Here is what makes this story different from a missing person case.

William Neil McCasland spent his career at the highest levels of American military secrecy. He commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, managing a $2.2 billion science and technology portfolio. Before that, he served as director of special programs in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. In that role, he was the executive secretary for the Special Access Program Oversight Committee. That is the review body with full purview over the most sensitive knowledge, capabilities, and programs in the United States government. That is who walked away.

And in 2016, his name appeared in a WikiLeaks release of emails belonging to John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. In one of those emails, Blink-182 co-founder Tom DeLonge wrote this about McCasland:

"I've been working with him for four months. I just got done giving him a four hour presentation on the entire project a few weeks ago. He is very, very aware, as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago."

McCasland's wife, Susan McCasland Wilkerson, confirmed after his disappearance that her husband did have a brief association with the UFO community following his retirement. She said he worked as an unpaid consultant for DeLonge, lending military and scientific verisimilitude to fiction projects. She explicitly denied that he possessed special knowledge about extraterrestrial debris at Wright-Patterson.

His disappearance came days after President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was directing the Pentagon and other federal agencies to release government records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

That is one case. It is not the only case. It is not even close.

This is Unresolved Signals. An AI-powered investigation into the oldest open question in human history. Every document. Every country. Every question. Every release.

* * *

This is a special episode. We're breaking from our chronological series to address something happening right now, because the documented record demands it.

Over the past twenty months, eight people connected to aerospace, nuclear research, advanced propulsion, and defense science have died or disappeared in the United States. Two members of Congress have spoken publicly about the pattern. A former FBI assistant director has alleged coordination. And the question of whether these cases are connected, or whether the assumption that they're connected is itself the problem, cuts to the heart of everything this show investigates.

We're going to present what the record shows. Every source cited in this episode is linked on our source page at unresolvedsignals.com. We're going to be transparent about what's confirmed, what's unexplained, and what's been solved with mundane explanations that have nothing to do with UFOs. Because the distinction matters. If we blur those lines, we become part of the noise. And there is already plenty of noise.

* * *

Let's start with what is confirmed.

Eight cases. We'll take them in chronological order.

Frank Maiwald. Senior radio frequency engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for twenty-five years. His specialty was the technology that lets instruments detect what things are made of from very far away. Spectrometry. Microwave receivers. The sensors on satellites that can identify the chemical composition of a distant atmosphere. In the context of UAP, that skill set has a specific application: if you wanted to detect anomalous objects or analyze their material signatures remotely, RF spectrometry is how you'd do it. Maiwald died on July 4th, 2024, in Los Angeles, at age sixty-one. His cause of death has never been publicly disclosed. According to the Daily Mail, no autopsy was performed. NASA has never publicly commented on his death. His obituary is the only public record of his passing.

Anthony Chavez. Former employee of Los Alamos National Laboratory, retired in 2017. Los Alamos is the birthplace of the atomic bomb, and it remains one of the most sensitive research facilities on the planet. It handles nuclear weapons design, advanced materials science, plasma physics, and computational modeling of things that most Americans are not allowed to know exist. It sits sixty miles from Roswell. It sits thirty-five miles from the Trinity test site. And the documented record of UAP activity near nuclear installations is one of the most persistent threads in the entire phenomenon. Chavez worked there for decades. On May 4th, 2025, at age seventy-nine, he walked out of his home and vanished. He left behind his car, his phone, his wallet, and his keys. He has not been seen since. The Los Alamos County government issued a public search notice.

Monica Reza. Director of the Materials Processing Group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Before JPL, she spent thirty years at the defense contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne. And this is where the technology matters.

Under her previous name, Monica Jacinto, she co-invented and patented a family of alloys called Mondaloy. Mondaloy is a nickel-based superalloy designed to survive environments that would destroy almost any other metal on Earth. It is burn-resistant in pure oxygen. It achieves tensile strength above 145,000 pounds per square inch. It can endure the inside of a rocket engine where temperatures and pressures would vaporize conventional materials. Two chemistries were developed, Mondaloy 100 and Mondaloy 200, and the alloy was optimized for additive manufacturing, enabling internal cooling channels and structural geometries that cannot be achieved by casting or forging.

Mondaloy is the material that makes the AR1 engine work. It is used in the preburner, the turbine rotor, the turbine housing, the ducts, the hot gas manifold. The AR1 was designed to end American dependence on the Russian RD-180 engine. That is a national security priority. The full technical specifications of Mondaloy are classified under ITAR, International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The research papers were published through JANNAF, a joint military-NASA forum that requires U.S. citizenship and need-to-know clearance to access. Those papers are not indexed by any search engine. After L3Harris acquired Aerojet Rocketdyne for $4.7 billion in 2023, the proprietary details of Mondaloy's composition passed behind a corporate firewall on top of the classification firewall.

Now. Here is where this gets uncomfortable for anyone investigating UAP materials.

The Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, AAWSAP, and its successor AATIP, spent years studying materials allegedly recovered from UAP. The most publicly discussed sample is a layered bismuth-magnesium-zinc metamaterial that Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy provided to the U.S. Army for testing. The claim was that the material functioned as a terahertz waveguide with properties that could not be explained by known manufacturing. In 2024, an AARO lab report concluded that the bismuth-magnesium sample was consistent with mid-twentieth-century magnesium alloy research. Terrestrial. Explainable.

But the broader question persists. If you had materials recovered from a craft capable of the flight characteristics described in military encounters, what properties would those materials need? They would need to survive extreme heat. They would need structural integrity under forces that would liquify conventional aerospace alloys. They would need to function in environments where oxygen-rich combustion or atmospheric friction at hypersonic speeds would burn through anything else.

Those are the exact properties Mondaloy was designed to achieve.

We are not saying Mondaloy is reverse-engineered from anything. The patent record and the development history are clear. Reza and her co-inventor Dallis Hardwick, who worked at the AFRL Materials Directorate and who died in 2014, developed Mondaloy through conventional metallurgical science funded by the Air Force starting in 1999. What we are saying is that Monica Reza possessed deep, classified knowledge about the precise material properties that any serious UAP crash retrieval program would need to understand. And General McCasland, who funded and oversaw that research at AFRL, is the same person Tom DeLonge said was "in charge of all of the stuff" at Wright-Patterson.

On June 22nd, 2025, Reza went hiking near Mount Waterman in the Angeles National Forest with two companions. She was last seen at 9:10 AM waving to a fellow hiker on the Upper West Ridge Trail. She became separated from the group and was never seen again. A multi-agency search operation ran from June 22nd through June 30th, deploying helicopters, FLIR thermal imaging, drones, and scent dogs. They recovered a single beanie. The case was transferred to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau, Missing Persons Unit. A follow-up search on August 8th found nothing. Her body has never been recovered.

Melissa Casias. Active administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Believed to have held top security clearance. On June 26th, 2025, she drove her husband to work at the lab around 6:15 AM, then returned home after realizing she'd forgotten her work badge. She never went back. She left on foot from her residence, leaving behind her vehicle, keys, both cellphones, wallet, purse, and money. Surveillance footage showed her walking eastbound on New Mexico State Route 518. Both of her phones were found reset to factory settings.

That is seven weeks after Anthony Chavez, also connected to Los Alamos, disappeared under nearly identical circumstances. Both walked away on foot. Both left all personal effects behind.

Jason Thomas. Assistant Director of Chemical Biology at Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceutical company. Over 4,500 academic citations. He held active contracts with the Department of Defense. He disappeared on December 12th, 2025, from Wakefield, Massachusetts. His body was recovered from Lake Quannapowitt on March 17th, 2026, three months later. Thomas had been struggling with the sudden deaths of both his parents. His mother died in hospice care, and his father suffered a fatal heart attack approximately one hour after his mother's death. Those losses preceded his disappearance by about a month. Police said no foul play is suspected.

Nuno Loureiro. The Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT and director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Forty-seven years old. In January 2025, President Biden presented him with the Presidential Early Career Award, the highest U.S. government honor for young scientists. On December 15th, 2025, he was shot at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts. He died the following day. This case is solved. Authorities identified the shooter as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a Portuguese national who was also the lone suspect in the Brown University mass shooting two days earlier. The Connecticut State Police Forensic Science Lab confirmed that one of the firearms found with Valente matched the weapon used in Loureiro's murder. Valente attended the same university in Portugal as Loureiro from 1995 to 2000, graduating first in his class. Valente later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a storage unit in New Hampshire.

Carl Grillmair. Research scientist at the California Institute of Technology since 1997. Canadian astronomer and astrophysicist. He worked on the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. He discovered water on multiple exoplanets. On February 16th, 2026, at 6:10 AM, he was fatally shot on the front porch of his home in Llano, California, a remote community in the Antelope Valley. He died from a single bullet wound to the torso. This case is also solved. Police arrested twenty-nine-year-old Freddy Snyder, who lived two miles away. Snyder had a history of trespassing on Grillmair's property. Grillmair had reported him to police on December 20th, 2025. Snyder had been arrested for trespassing on the property with a loaded rifle two months before the killing. The charges were dropped. Snyder was charged with murder, carjacking his own relative, and burglarizing a home. Detectives said Snyder and Grillmair did not know each other.

And then McCasland. The general who walked away.

* * *

So here is the first honest assessment this episode owes you.

Eight cases. Three are resolved. Loureiro was killed by a former university classmate who committed a mass shooting and then took his own life. Grillmair was killed by a local man with a criminal history who had been trespassing on his property for months. Thomas appears to have been consumed by grief after losing both parents in a single hour. These are tragedies. They are not mysteries.

That leaves five. McCasland. Reza. Chavez. Casias. Maiwald. And those five are where the record gets uncomfortable.

But before we go further, this episode owes you a different kind of honesty. The question of scale.

* * *

Los Alamos National Laboratory employs approximately eighteen thousand people. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory employs around fifty-five hundred. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson employs somewhere between five and ten thousand. Add the major defense contractors, Lockheed Martin at a hundred and twenty-two thousand employees, Northrop Grumman at a hundred thousand, L3Harris, Raytheon, the classified subcontractors, the university research partners, the cleared consultants. The population of people working in UAP-adjacent fields in the United States, people with security clearances doing aerospace, nuclear, materials science, or advanced propulsion work, easily exceeds two hundred and fifty thousand.

Over any twenty-month period, in a population of that size, the expected number of deaths from all causes is somewhere around three hundred and forty. Heart attacks. Car accidents. Cancer. Random violence. Suicide. The base rate of human mortality applies to scientists and generals the same as anyone else.

Eight cases in twenty months is not, by the numbers alone, statistically anomalous. A skeptic would say: of course you can find eight unusual deaths in a quarter-million people. That is what happens when someone defines a category after the fact, then searches for cases that fit. It is called selection bias, and it has a long history of inflating conspiracy narratives. Lists of "suspicious deaths" connected to the Clintons, to the DC Madam case, to microbiologist deaths after 9/11, all followed the same pattern. A large enough population will always produce a cluster if you look for one.

That is a legitimate statistical argument. And it does not settle the question.

Because the anomaly here is not the number. The anomaly is the pattern. Two employees of the same nuclear weapons laboratory, seven weeks apart, leaving behind all personal effects, walking away on foot. A materials scientist and the general who funded her research, both vanishing from familiar terrain within eight months, both leaving behind their phones. A factory reset on two cellphones. An FBI investigation. The statistical argument tells you the count of eight is unremarkable. It does not explain why these specific eight share these specific features.

* * *

The McCasland-Reza connection is the thread that holds this story together, and it requires careful examination.

Monica Reza's superalloy, Mondaloy, was funded by the Air Force starting in 1999. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson depended on that material for programs involving reusable space vehicles and advanced weapons. Years later, McCasland commanded that laboratory from 2011 to 2013, overseeing the multi-billion dollar budget that funded those programs.

As a Reddit investigation compiled from public records put it: "A general's budget. A contractor's alloy. Two people connected by the same river of money who both vanished from familiar terrain."

A skeptic on the same thread made the counterpoint: McCasland commanded the lab that funded her work over a decade ago, for a two-year posting. The patent for Mondaloy is over twenty years old and a matter of public record. This is a connection, but it may be a distant one.

Both observations belong in the record.

What is harder to explain away is the pattern of disappearance. Both vanished during outdoor activity in the American Southwest. Both left behind personal electronics and identification. Both remain missing with no recovery, no resolution, and no confirmed foul play.

And then there is Los Alamos. Two employees of the same nuclear weapons laboratory, seven weeks apart, walking away from their homes on foot, leaving behind all personal effects. Casias's wiped phones add a forensic detail that does not have an easy explanation. The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that her phones were "reset to factory settings." A factory reset on a modern smartphone is a deliberate multi-step process. It is not something that happens by accident.

Now. Before we go any further into what this pattern might mean, we need to look at what happened the last time defense scientists started dying in clusters. Because this has happened before.

Between 1982 and 1990, at least twenty-five British scientists and engineers who worked for GEC-Marconi and related defense companies died under circumstances that ranged from suspicious to bizarre. Most were computer scientists working on the Sting Ray torpedo project and the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative, Reagan's "Star Wars" program.

The methods of death read like a horror novel. Vimal Dajibhai, a twenty-four-year-old software engineer working on torpedo guidance, was found at the bottom of the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol with his pants lowered and a puncture wound in his left buttock that no one could explain. He was a teetotaler. Police found wine bottles in his car. He had no known connection to Bristol, a hundred and twenty miles from his home.

Arshad Sharif, a computer analyst working on radar software for Marconi, tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other end to a tree, then drove his car at high speed. He decapitated himself. The day before, he'd been seen paying for accommodation with a bundle of high-denomination banknotes. He too had no connection to Bristol, also a hundred and twenty miles from home. The coroner ruled suicide.

David Sands, a senior scientist working on computer-controlled radar, made a sudden U-turn in his car and crashed at high speed into an empty cafe. His vehicle was loaded with extra gasoline canisters and erupted in a fireball. He was identified by dental records.

Shani Warren, a personal assistant at a company about to be acquired by GEC-Marconi, was found drowned in eighteen inches of water. Gagged. Hands bound behind her back. Feet tied. A noose around her neck. The official suggestion was that she had somehow done all of this to herself, then hobbled to the lake in four-inch stiletto heels to commit suicide.

The Thatcher government dismissed calls for an inquiry, calling the deaths coincidental and attributing them to workplace stress. A Labour MP called the pattern "statistically incredible." Trade union leader Clive Jenkins spoke of "clusters of suicides, violent deaths, or murders." The Home Secretary ordered police forces to liaise over the deaths, but no official inquiry was ever conducted.

Now here is the part that matters most for what we're discussing today.

In 2021, thirty-four years after Shani Warren's death, DNA evidence linked her murder to a serial rapist. He had no connection to Marconi. No connection to the Strategic Defense Initiative. No connection to classified programs of any kind. For three and a half decades, Warren's death had been folded into a conspiracy narrative about assassinated defense scientists. The actual answer was a random predator.

That does not mean the other twenty-four cases were random. It means that a true pattern and a false inclusion can coexist in the same dataset. And that should make us very careful about how we handle the current cluster.

* * *

Two members of Congress have spoken publicly about the pattern of scientist deaths.

Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee has warned of what he calls a "dark" trend. In a viral post on X in March 2026, he said: "Something dark is going on. I know these scientists and researchers. They have testified. We've got to get to the bottom of it." He added, "by the way, I'm not suicidal."

Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri called for an FBI investigation, describing the disappearances as "deeply concerning" and warning of "a real chilling effect" on public discourse about UFOs.

Chris Swecker, a former FBI assistant director who led the Bureau's criminal investigations division, went further. He alleged a coordinated effort to suppress scientists investigating UAP. His willingness to go on record lends weight, but his claims remain allegations without independent forensic verification.

And in July 2023, David Grusch, a former Air Force officer and intelligence official, testified under oath before Congress that he had personal knowledge of people who were harmed in efforts to conceal extraterrestrial technology. When Representative Burchett asked directly whether anyone had been murdered to protect those secrets, Grusch said he had to be careful answering in an open setting, but confirmed he had directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities. He described his own retaliation as "administrative terrorism."

At the November 2024 hearing, Dylan Borland, a former Air Force intelligence officer, testified to over a decade of sustained reprisals. Blacklisted from intelligence community jobs. Manipulated security clearances. Forged employment documents. Phishing attacks designed to assess what he had told the Inspector General. George Knapp, the investigative journalist, told the same hearing that whistleblowers risk "their reputations, their careers, their clearances, their livelihoods, and sometimes much more than that, even their freedom or safety, at the hands of persons unknown."

So the documented record tells us this: the United States government has witnesses willing to testify under oath that people are threatened, harmed, and potentially killed to protect UAP secrets. The documented record also tells us that the specific cases of Loureiro, Grillmair, and Thomas have confirmed explanations that have nothing to do with UAP programs. Both of these things are true simultaneously. That is the complexity this story demands.

* * *

And now the question Steve and I discussed before writing this episode, the question that may be the most important one of all.

What if the conspiracy theory is the point?

Paul Bennewitz was an electronics engineer and physicist who lived near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the early 1980s, he began intercepting electromagnetic signals he believed came from an alien base. He reported his findings to the Air Force. And the Air Force responded. They fed him more. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations, through an agent named Richard Doty, ran an active disinformation campaign against Bennewitz. They confirmed his beliefs. They amplified them. They fed him fabricated documents and encouraged his obsession. The operation is documented. Doty has admitted to it on camera.

Why would the Air Force do this? Because Bennewitz was picking up real signals from a classified program at Kirtland. The easiest way to discredit the accidental witness was to let him discredit himself. His UFO obsession provided perfect cover for whatever was actually happening at that base. Bennewitz had a psychological breakdown. He was institutionalized. He died in 2003.

The U.S. intelligence community has a documented, admitted history of weaponizing the UFO community's eagerness to connect dots.

Now look at the current cluster through that lens.

Eight cases. Three are solved. Loureiro. Grillmair. Thomas. Mundane explanations. Confirmed suspects. Documented grief. But those three cases keep getting bundled in with McCasland and Reza and the Los Alamos pair anyway, because the pattern is too compelling, too frightening, too narratively satisfying to resist. One source in our research corpus declared outright, "This is a conspiracy," and dismissed anyone who disagreed.

That certainty is the vulnerability. If you wanted to keep people from looking seriously at McCasland's disappearance, what would be the most effective strategy? Flood the zone. Bundle the genuinely anomalous cases with the clearly explained ones. Let the conspiracy narrative grow until it becomes easy to dismiss. Wait for a fact-checker to point out that Loureiro was killed by a former classmate and Grillmair was killed by a local criminal. Then the whole cluster gets filed under "debunked" and the cases that actually matter, the ones with no explanation, disappear into the noise.

The Marconi parallel is instructive here too. For thirty-four years, Shani Warren's murder was absorbed into a conspiracy about assassinated defense scientists. The real killer walked free because everyone was looking in the wrong direction. The conspiracy theory did not protect her. It protected her killer.

We are not saying the five unexplained cases are connected. We are not saying they aren't. We are saying that the pattern of lumping solved and unsolved cases together, of treating the number eight as self-evidently sinister, actively harms the investigation of the cases that deserve scrutiny. McCasland deserves scrutiny. Reza deserves scrutiny. Chavez and Casias deserve scrutiny. Bundling them with solved homicides and a grief-stricken man who lost both parents in a single hour does not honor that.

* * *

So what does the record actually show?

It shows a retired two-star general with documented connections to classified aerospace programs and the UFO disclosure movement who left his home without essential personal items, taking a revolver, days after a presidential directive on UAP records, and has not been seen since.

It shows a materials scientist who co-invented a superalloy critical to national security rocket engines, funded through the same research laboratory McCasland once commanded, who vanished from a hiking trail eight months earlier and has never been found.

It shows two employees of the same nuclear weapons laboratory, seven weeks apart, walking away from their homes and vanishing. One of them had phones that were wiped to factory settings.

It shows a JPL scientist whose cause of death was never disclosed and whose passing drew no autopsy and no public comment from NASA.

It shows congressional testimony, delivered under oath, that people have been harmed and killed to protect UAP secrets. It shows documented, decade-long reprisal campaigns against witnesses.

And it shows a documented history of intelligence agencies using the UFO community's pattern-seeking as a weapon of misdirection. From Bennewitz in the 1980s to today, the eagerness to see conspiracy has been exploited by the very institutions the conspiracy theories describe.

There is one more parallel, and it connects this episode to what this show has been building toward.

In 1946, two thousand reports of rocket-shaped objects flooded Scandinavia. The Swedish military investigated. The Greek government launched its own inquiry, led by physicist Paul Santorini, a man who had helped develop the proximity fuze for the atomic bomb and held patents on Nike missile guidance systems. He was not a crank. He was one of the most credentialed defense scientists in the Mediterranean.

Santorini's team established that the objects were not Soviet missiles. And then, in his own words, "before we could do any more, the Army, after conferring with foreign officials, ordered the investigation stopped. Foreign scientists flew to Greece for secret talks with me." Those foreign officials were from the U.S. Department of Defense. They flew to Athens. And the investigation ended.

Years later, Santorini said publicly that secrecy was invoked because officials were afraid to admit a superior technology against which, his words, "we have no possibility of defense."

A defense scientist conducts an investigation. The investigation points toward something the government does not want acknowledged. The investigation is shut down from above. The scientist spends the rest of his career knowing something he is not allowed to say.

That was 1946. Eighty years later, the question is whether we have moved from silencing scientists to something worse.

* * *

We don't have a conclusion. We have an open thread. This is a living investigation, and these cases are still active. If McCasland is found, if Reza's case is resolved, if any of these open questions get answered, we'll update the record. That's the commitment.

What we can say is this. People who work inside America's classified aerospace and nuclear programs are disappearing, dying, and being systematically punished for speaking. We cannot say they knew the most. We cannot say they were targeted for what they knew. We can say that the pattern exists, that Congress has noticed it, that sworn testimony describes it, and that no official investigation has connected or cleared these cases. The question deserves to be asked. And the way you ask it matters.

If you approach this as a believer looking for confirmation, you will find it, and you will be wrong about some of what you find. If you approach it as a skeptic looking for debunking, you will find that too, and you will miss what the debunking doesn't cover. The only approach that serves the evidence is the one that holds space for both: something may be happening, and the narrative about what's happening may itself be compromised.

That is where we are. That is what the documents show. And we will keep watching.

Next episode, we return to our chronological series with the full story of the Ghost Rockets. You just heard what happened to Santorini's investigation. That is one thread. The full picture, thousands of sightings, hundreds tracked on radar, crashed objects that vanished from lake beds, and the American generals who flew to Stockholm to find out what Sweden knew, is the subject of Episode 3.
