‘Too Coincidental’ String of Dead and Missing Scientists Hits 11 as UFO Researcher’s Mysterious Death Comes Under New Scrutiny
Republican Rep. Eric Burlison, who is on the House Oversight Committee, is demanding a full federal investigation into a disturbing wave of deaths and disappearances involving top U.S. scientists working on classified aerospace, defense, and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP/UFO) programs, calling the pattern “too coincidental” to ignore.
Burlison told Fox & Friends on Friday morning that his office had been tracking the cases for over a year.
The congressman stressed that the scientists had access to highly sensitive information and many reported feeling threatened before vanishing or turning up dead.
“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this,” Burlison said. “We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI, and every agency looking into this matter.”
