THE MISSING AND THE DEAD

MORE HIGH STRANGENESS AROUND THE VANISHING GENERAL

It’s now been several months since retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland emerged from his Albuquerque home to take a hike - and vanished without a trace. In his wake, the list of individuals engaged in related classified work and who also disappeared or wound up dead has escalated to fourteen. It’s hard to imagine that all this is coincidental, especially as the government starts to release long-withheld files on UFOs/UAPs.

The most recent curious revelation about the general came within the past week, with the surfacing of a call made to investigative authorities by an unnamed woman who said she’d worked alongside McCasland in the Kirtland Partnership (a nonprofit connected to the New Mexico air base). The night before he went missing, the woman reported having had dinner with the general and felt he “wasn’t his usual self,” but “spacey and rather quiet.”

When she learned the next day that McCasland had disappeared, she’d called Air Force security seeking to determine whether he’d shown up at the Kirtland AFB. But there was no record of his credentials having been used. Had something happened at the dinner that precipitated her quest? We don’t yet know, but the general’s associate emphasized to the authorities that “the man’s name is in the UFO documents” and he’d held a very high-level security clearance linked to his days overseeing Air Force Research Laboratory programs.

The thing is, the two weren’t dining alone at Cervantes Restaurant near the Kirtland base. She stated that several others at the dinner table were members of the U.S. Space Force. Since its formation in 2019, this has been one of the six armed forces under the rubric of the Pentagon. It has bases in California, Florida, and Colorado - but not in proximity of Albuquerque. Recently President Trump announced it was moving to the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Part of the Space Force’s documented mission is to track “abnormal observable and patterns of life” with “unknown origins.” General McCasland had recently been approached to testify before the House Oversight Committee bringing in military witnesses to discuss the UAP subject. So far, he’d managed to stonewall them. Was the Space Force greeting him to find out what he might say/

McCasland’s final posting in 2011 had been as commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, from which he retired in 2013. There, McCasland had overseen a $2.2 billion science and technology portfolio. The base was not only where debris from the notorious Roswell crash of 1947 was sent for analysis, but the home of Project Blue Book in the 1950s and ‘60s, where 12,618 alleged UFO sightings were investigated and 701 of which remained “unidentified.”

The Sentinel Network online publication has identified no less than five individuals with connections to Wright-Patterson who recently died under strange circumstances. One of these was Matthew Sullivan, a 39-year-old Air Force officer who’d earned a Bronze star for valor in Afghanistan. He served at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson.

Rep. Eric Burlison, a member of the House UAP Caucus, said of Sullivan’s demise in May 2024 that “he was scheduled to come in for an interview. Within two weeks he had suspiciously commit[ted] suicide.” The Office of the Intelligence community’s Inspector General had deemed Sullivan’s proposed congressional testimony “credible and urgent.”

By this time, Luis Elizondo had quietly returned to government service with the U.S. Space Force. He is the counterintelligence officer who’d been a leader of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force and gained notoriety as a disclosure advocate featured in the New York Times, testifying before Congress, and writing the best-selling book Imminent. And he had some things to say about another scientific researcher who was found dead on June 11, 2022, in Huntsville, Alabama, from a gunshot wound to the head that was ruled a suicide.

Her name was Amy Eskridge, whose work centered around advanced propulsion, zero-point energy and anti-gravity technologies. She and her father had co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science in Huntsville in 2018. She was looking for approval from NASA to move forward their '“novel foundational work regarding antigravity.”

That same year, as Elizondo described recently on the Jillian Michaels podcast, he’d had dinner with Amy, her father, and several others. “And she had indicated….that they had succeeded in creating an anti-gravity device and could actually demonstrate it and show it. And she was very concerned for her safety and well-being. And what she said about being harassed is something she conveyed to me as well….What I can tell you is that she was absolutely convinced, and so was her father, that people were trying to silence them.”

It’s impossible to do more than speculate about this, but at the Contact in the Desert gathering over the weekend in Palm Springs, I listened to physicist Eric Davis allude to our government’s crash retrieval program that’s long been working on how to manipulate gravity and much more from spacecraft in our possession. Had people like Amy Eskridge gotten too close to the big secrets that would potentially give us a world where fossil fuels are no longer necessary? Was General McCasland, known a decade ago as a man apparently in favor of some disclosure, about to open up about things the powers-that-be want to keep hidden?

I’ll have more next time on revelations from the Contact event.
