A space scientist in the US has been found dead after warning “my life is in danger” in the latest mysterious case.
Eleven people who worked close to US space programs are now dead or have recently gone missing and Donald Trump has now vowed to uncover the truth.
US President says his goal will be to provide answers “in” next One and a half weeks” after leaving a top secret meeting on the subject.
The 11 people range from retired Air Force major generals to powerful space researchers who helped prevent asteroids from hitting Earth.
Employees at NASA, Los Alamos, MIT, and Caltech have all been involved in mysterious cases.
The latest person to be identified is Amy Eskridge, 34, who reportedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022.

Before her death Amy was investigating and helping to develop anti-gravity technology.
public statement of an official Investigation The details of his suicide were never disclosed – questions remain as to why he took his life.
Speculation of foul play surrounding his death has intensified in recent days, after he expressed serious concern over the consequences of his job in an interview.
Amy’s father, Richard, was a retired NASA engineer and the pair founded The Institute for Exotic Science.
The company was “the public-facing personality disclosing the anti-gravity technology” – unaffiliated with NASA.
She says in a 2020 interview: “If you stick your neck out in public, at least someone knows you’re decapitated.
“If you stick your neck out in private they will bury you, they will burn your house while you are sleeping in your bed and there will be nothing left.” news. That is why this institute exists.”
Before his death, Eskridge had also contacted retired British intelligence officer Frank Milburn for help investigating the harassment claims.
She claimed she was the victim of bullying tactics, including physical attacks.energy Weapons”, according to Milburn.
Journalist Michael Shellenberger also testified at a public hearing in the months following his death that Eskridge was “murdered by a private aerospace company”.
Eskridge was the first of five prominent researchers to die in the past four years.
The most talked about death was that of MIT’s physics professor. Nuno Loureiro, 47, was shot dead in his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.
He was murdered on December 15, 2025 as authorities accused gunman Claudio Neves Valente, a former classmate of Portugal.
Valente was also accused of carrying out the shooting at Brown University two days earlier.
Caltech astronomer Carl Grillmeyer, 67, was also shot in an unprovoked attack at his home in California on February 16, 2026.
Jason Thomas, a pharmaceutical researcher testing cancer treatments at Novartis, died after being found face down in a lake in March.
He was missing from the local for three months Police in Massachusetts stating that his death was not the result of foul play.
Details regarding two other scientist deaths remain unclear.
NASA scientists Michael David Hicks and Frank Maiwald both died under unknown circumstances.
The pair worked at the US space agency’s Jet Propulsion Lab in California with Maiwald, 61, as the lead researcher on a vital project to detect clear signs of life on other worlds.
A few months before his passing, Hicks, aged 59, also died shortly after leaving NASA’s DART project, which tested whether humans could deflect dangerous asteroids away from Earth’s path.
Several other space scientists across the United States are missing and feared dead.
The most high profile is retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, 68.
He disappeared during a new Mexico On February 27, 2026, Heike, sources close to McCasland, said that he was a “gatekeeper and participant” in the UFO community, New York Post Report.
Despite an extensive search – aided by drones, helicopters, ground crews and K-9 units – McCasland was never found.
McCasland was described by investigative journalist Ross Coltheart as “the man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the head of state of the United States.”
His former colleague and Aerojet Rocketdyne materials scientist Monica Reza, 60, disappeared after going hiking in June 2025.
The pair had worked together years earlier on a rocket project under McCasland’s supervision.
Trump’s full statement on foreign files
On February 20, 2026, Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will direct the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files relating to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
“And any and all information related to these extremely complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.
“God bless America!”
The White House first spoke about the mysterious deaths earlier in the week.
White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt promised: “We will respond to you.
“If that’s true, I think it’s certainly something that this government, this administration, would consider worth looking into.”
Trump said Thursday: “I hope it’s random, but we’ll know in the next week and a half.
“Pretty serious… Hopefully it’s a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it. There were some very important people among them, and we’ll look into that in the next short period.”
This comes after Trump said earlier this year he would direct US agencies, including the Defense Department, to “begin the process of identifying and releasing” government files on aliens and extraterrestrial life.
It is unclear when the first batch of documents might be released.
