US EditionHouse Oversight Committee to investigate missing, dead scientists
The committee is seeking briefings from four agencies as Republicans say the cases may involve classified aerospace and UAP information.
- On Sunday, House Oversight Chair James Comer demanded briefings from the Department of Energy, the Pentagon, NASA, and the FBI regarding up to 11 scientists with classified access who died or vanished.
- Reports of researchers tied to nuclear, aerospace, and UAP programs dying or disappearing since mid-2023 prompted the congressional probe, with Comer citing national security concerns.
- Notable cases include retired Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland, who vanished in February, and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory director Monica Jacinto Reza, who disappeared in June 2025, though they worked in divergent fields.
- FBI Director Kash Patel is centralizing investigations across jurisdictions to identify potential foreign actor involvement, as the White House vows 'no stone will be unturned' in its holistic review.
- President Donald Trump said the administration expects answers in the next week and a half, as officials evaluate whether these deaths reflect a 'sinister' pattern or represent unrelated incidents.
