Congressman Issues Alert: Top Scientists Found Dead After Testifying About UFO Files
by Frank Bergman
A Republican congressman is raising alarms after a string of scientists tied to UFO research and advanced technologies have died or vanished under mysterious circumstances, just as the Trump administration moves toward releasing long-classified UFO files.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) warned this week that the pattern is too serious to ignore.
“Something dark is going on,” Burchett said during an appearance on The Benny Show.
Scientists Vanish as UFO Files Loom
Burchett pointed to multiple cases involving individuals with knowledge of sensitive technologies, including nuclear and aerospace research, who have either disappeared or died within the past year.
“Something is going on,” he said, referencing one scientist who “had some nuclear secrets” and went missing “the week after the president said he was gonna start releasing some of those [UFO] files.”
“We had several folks that have left this earth or disappeared that had some close proximity to a lot of that,” Burchett added.
When asked whether he had personally interacted with any of the individuals during classified briefings, Burchett responded cautiously: “Possibly.”
High-Profile Cases Raise Questions
Among the cases highlighted:
• Retired Air Force Major General William McCasland reportedly went missing in February after leaving his home with a revolver.
• NASA aerospace engineer Monica Reza has been missing since June 22, 2025.
