Missing, Dead Scientists: Retired FBI Agent Breaks Down "Conspiracy" Claims

  • House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Eric Burlison demanded briefings from the FBI, Department of Energy, NASA, and Department of Defense on at least 11 scientists with access to classified nuclear, aerospace, and rocket technology who died or disappeared since 2023.
  • The congressional list expanded to 13 individuals clustered in New Mexico, California, and Massachusetts, with cases involving NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and MIT sparking widespread online speculation about coordinated threats to sensitive research.

  • Lawmakers warned the pattern could represent a "grave threat" to national security, with Comer stating the cluster "doesn't pass the smell test" and signaling Congress views this as a top priority for investigation.
