UFO-linked scientist found dead at 34 becomes ELEVENTH case

A young scientist tied to America's most secretive projects warned she was being targeted before being found dead in 2022, as a dark pattern surrounding space and nuclear secrets grows.

Eskridge died in 2022.

"Eskridge's death marks the eleventh person with ties to America's space or nuclear secrets." Anti-gravity isn't one of those. She was a private citizen working for a private company researching what, by all appearances, was some sort of free-energy pseudoscience.

Reporting what they talked about on Coast to Coast AM--two years ago--isn't news.

What about all of the others? Tinfoil hat or not, the CIA has a colorful history.

First one mentioned after Eskridge was Nuno Loureiro, a physics professor at MIT. He was shot by the perpetrator of the Brown University shooting spree a few days earlier. The "Links between missing and dead officials" infographic in your article says there is no known connection to the others (as it says of Eskridge, as well).

Next is Carl Grilmair, an astrophysicist teaching at the California Institutde of Technology. His shooter lived not far from Grilmair, and had been trespassing on Grilmair's property and reported to the police. He also broke into Grilmair's neighbour's house a few days later. The dude had a history of erratic behaviour.

The next two guys, Michael Hicks and Frank Maiwald, are simply listed as having died under "unknown circumstances at an early age." First, their definition of "early age" is 59 and 61, respectively. And "unknown circumstances" tells me nothing except that whoever the Daily Mail talked to was not forthcoming about COD. The infographic links their ties to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, along with Grilmair's. Well, the JPL employs over 5,000 people, not counting consultants, contractors, etc. It's not statistically remarkable that three employees, all basically senior citizens at a plausible retirement age, might die over three years.

The next one, Jason Thomas, again the infographic says had no known connection. Not surprising: he was a pharmaceutical researcher working for Novartis. What does that have to do with NASA, UFOs, or secret space research? He disappeared in December, not long after both his parents died, and he apparently took it hard. It's not too difficult to figure out what happened to him.

This list is about as credible as the Clinton Body Count: find a collection of people who had some connection, even an implausibly tenuous one, and declare their deaths mysterious, even when they're probably quite explainable. (The Clinton Body Count people were including deaths of people like small-time drug dealers. The reason a drug dealer may find himself dead on the railroad tracks isn't too difficult to deduce.)

It's a waste of time to investigate these deaths any further. This is a nothingburger. Not that the Daily Mail is known for reliable science reporting.

Is Fox any less sensationalist?

No FOX isn’t, nor is CNN. My point is there’s a history in the US of media manipulation by the government. Sometimes it’s years later before we find out about the tampering and planted stories, sometimes never. Have you heard of Operation Mockingbird?

Maybe this type of thing doesn’t happen in Canada…I honestly don’t have any information about that, but assuming you know. I’ll still take our form of media over the likes of China any day. At least in America we can get some truthful news if we search hard. For what it’s worth, I’ve often found more trustworthy news from the Daily Mail than from US sources, particularly when liberals have been in the White House.
 
Amy Eskridge's father, also a NASA scientist (who, for some reason has not turned up dead under mysterious circumstances), denies there was anything suspicious about her death. She committed suicide in 2022.

"Scientists die also, just like other people."


Like I said, a nothingburger. Conspiracy theorists like to group together a small number of genuine unsolved mysteries (e.g. the current whereabouts of Gen. William McCasland, missing since February) along with unrelated medical events (Michael David Hicks' death by cardiovascular disease) and personal tragedies (Eskridge's suicide or the shooting of Carl Grilmair by a trespasser). This grouping helps propel a particular narrative, where the data does not suggest any such conspiracy.

Seems so. I guess back in the day we’d say the headlines would sale papers, and nowadays it’s all about the clicks. This missing general is mysterious though….

Sure. And if the feds are starting to investigate these deaths and disappearances as possibly connected, that means there's sufficient "signal" to warrant federal action. But what if McCasland's disappearance is just noise rather than signal? He complained of "mental fog" before he disappeared and had medical issues that might cause problems if he wasn't found. Perhaps the cause of his disappearance is a medical issue rather than foul play.

Although 99% of missing-person cases are quickly resolved, Neil McCasland is currently a genuine mystery. But he doesn't necessarily have to remain so. Incidentally, for missing persons eventually found deceased, homicide is the least likely cause of death. Suicide is far and away the most common.
