So let's start with the disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland
0:06
Who was he and why is that disappearance so important? Well, he worked on some research at Kirkland Air Force Base and it was very secretive work
0:19
He did some work on some nuclear research and also had connections to aerospace stuff
0:25
But it's kind of an interesting character in this wider web of people that have disappeared or have died since 2023, all of which have these nexuses to, you know, some of the U.S.'s most proprietary research in national labs
0:39
So it's been a very concerning case. In just this week, Congress has asked NASA, has asked the Department of Energy and the FBI to begin researching and discovering what happened to these folks to try to get some answers
0:52
As you say, Air Force General William Neal McCaslin worked at the Air Force Research Lab based at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
1:00
Now, that is an interesting Air Force base because, as I read, it's been rumoured that that has been the place where they've done some UFO or extraterrestrial technology work
1:10
Is that a reasonable bit of reporting to highlight or is that just nonsense
1:16
So it's definitely been the rumour. There's been no actual confirmation of that
1:20
But I think that the interesting thing is, with Congress lending more credence to their being UAPs
1:27
unidentified aerial phenomenon, or what we call UFOs, in recent years, that there's been a lot more chatter on this front
1:34
Congress has worked to get out more information about what exactly these sightings You know the U military is some of the most bespoke tracking sensors there are
1:45
And there's been blips and glitches and very interesting things that they've caught that are still unexplained
1:51
So to say that they for sure have some extraterrestrial material there, I don't think we can say that
1:56
However, that is the speculation. Anthony Chavez, Melissa Cassius both worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory
2:03
one of the nation's most important nuclear research sites, disappeared within weeks of each other last year
2:08
So the FBI is looking into connections between all of them and possibly where they might have gone or who'd done the disappearing
2:14
That's what I believe the scope may be. They haven't really said too much about it. I know that the president said last week that he got a briefing on the matter
2:21
and that he would give some answers on this web of disappearances and deaths in the coming weeks
2:27
Well, I hope it's random, but we're going to know in the next week and a half
2:32
I just left a meeting on that subject, so pretty serious stuff
2:36
But we're going to be not hopefully, I don't know, coincidence, if you want it, whatever you want to call it
2:41
But some of them were very important people, and we're going to look at it over the next short term
2:46
Yes, the FBI is looking into it and if there's any connections. But, you know, there's been no, like, you know, solid, you know, announcement from them yet about what they're actually probing, whether it has to do just with the US or, you know, maybe there's some other nexus as well that could be nefarious
3:03
I note that the detail in your reporting is that William McCasland left his home without his phone, without his wearable devices or glasses
3:11
He was only carrying a pistol and his wife told 911 dispatchers that it appeared he was trying not to be found Have you managed to speak to his wife Some of my colleagues at the Daily Mail I believe have been leading the charge on getting more out into the field
3:25
about learning from these family members and associates as to more details where these folks are
3:31
But he wasn't the only one. I believe there's another gentleman, I believe it was Stephen Garcia, who also walked out of his house without any technology and just a gun
3:39
So the fact that two individuals who have these links to these, you know, super secretive nuclear research programs
3:45
and aerospace research programs left their homes without phones, without wallets, without keys, just having a gun
3:51
is exceptionally concerning, right? Were they scared? We don't know that, you know, we have no update
3:57
as to what their mindset was. Did they feel like they were threatened
4:01
Did they feel like if they stay home, you know, would they pose a threat to their families? Did they think somebody was coming after them
4:05
These are all unanswered questions. And some of them, I mean, you say that they've obviously gone missing
4:10
presumably they're being looked for unfortunately some people have turned up dead in recent years
4:15
as part of these 11 experts with ties to these nuclear facilities to nasa to aerospace programs
4:20
yeah um one is uh nuno larario i might have butchered that name um but he was a nuclear
4:26
fission researcher another one was jason thomas a pharmaceutical researcher and then
4:31
amy catheridge eskridge an anti-gravity researcher there hasn't been exactly a connection that we
4:37
researcher. Exactly. Yeah. So there's, you know, it's all these very, you know, particular fields that these folks are
4:44
working in. We haven't really determined the connection from those deaths to the other string of disappearances. But I do
4:51
think that they're significant because of the work that they were assigned to you know and obviously a lot of that has some classified nexus as well Do we know how they died i know that some um have been i believe ruled suicides other ones right i haven looked into
5:05
but you know there's definitely still questions about uh you know how that came about and what
5:11
say you then to the or what have you been told about the notion that well you know it's it's
5:15
incredibly tragic but um people do take their own lives um people do go missing um it just so
5:21
happens that these people have backgrounds in this kind of work, these kinds of fields of work
5:26
No coincidence, nothing to see here. Well, it could be plausible, right? I'm not the end-all
5:31
deal on that. But I think that if it smells strange, then it's worth investigating this
5:36
tension and where it's coming from. So I think that my colleagues and I are still looking into
5:41
this, trying to talk to family members, trying to get answers from government officials. I'm here at
5:45
the White House right now. If we can see the president today or see Caroline Levitt, would
5:50
love to ask them. If true, of course, that's definitely something I think this government
5:53
and administration would deem worth looking into. So let me do that for you. I know they've already
5:58
been asked, but they still haven't given the answers as to what they found. And they've promised
6:02
to give those. So we'll keep working and trying to see what they're going to say on the matter
6:06
But it is a very peculiar instance where so many folks have either died or gone missing
6:12
who have such high-end security clearances, who work on some of the U.S.'s most exclusive
6:17
of military, aerospace, nuclear equipment. So hopefully we'll get answers in the next week
6:23
just like President Trump has said. It's impossible that some foreign adversary
6:27
is in the United States to open these people up. Well, you know, Biden had open borders
6:32
It wasn't very hard to get here, but we've gotten many of them out. As far as the scientists are concerned
6:37
we'll probably have a pretty good answer over the next week
