Amy Eskridge investigation

TLDR: Amy Eskridge a 34-year-old researcher working on anti-gravity, was murdered. Fourteen other dead or missing US scientists (plus two family members of one), were most likely one coordinated operation, or a small number of overlapping operations targeting the same classified US technology stack. Probability that the cluster is driven by a coordinated campaign of some form: very high.

If these scientists had quietly published all their research, and made it all public, would they still be alive today? If you want to create a knowledge base like this one and post your research online, and avoid getting suicided, see the next post or the post on Publishing a book.

Amy Eskridge

Amy earned a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, followed by a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the same institution.1
Her father Richard Eskridge, a retired NASA engineer specializing in plasma physics and fusion, co-founded The Institute for Exotic Science and HoloChron LLC with her and served as Chief Technology Officer.1 2

In December 2018 she and her father gave a public talk at the Huntsville Alabama L5 Society (HAL5) titled “A Historical Perspective on Anti-Gravity Technology.” The slides and program are still online. The talk walked through antigravity devices from Thomas Townsend Brown’s Gravitator in the 1920s to the EM Drive, and touched on what she called “black projects” developing triangular antigravity craft like the TR-3B.2 3

In 2020 on a podcast she stated she was preparing to publish novel foundational work on antigravity but was waiting on NASA approval. In that same period she described the campaign against her escalating:4

I need to publish soon because it’s escalating. It’s getting more and more aggressive. This has been going on for like four or five years, and over the past 12 months, it’s been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats.

On her reasoning for making her work public rather than private:5

She hired private security because she believed she was being physically and electronically surveilled and threatened. She reported that her security contractor, described by her as the former Chief Information Officer for Northrop Grumman with 35 years in Navy counter-espionage, told her he had heard the same pattern from other women in classified research roles.6

She told interviewers she had been struck by a directed energy weapon, leaving burn marks across her body, and described being nearly hit by a bus in what she treated as an attempt.7 8

In one recorded segment she describes active targeting in real time while typing, and the relief response when she and whoever she was with physically blocked the suspected surveillance path:9

My hands have been burned to hell and back as I’ve been typing. Because you can beam me through there or through there. And you can get a 3D image of what I’m typing. Because this computer doesn’t have a Wi-Fi card. You can’t hack it. But you can maybe get a 3D image of me typing. So like we just did that. And did that. As an act of pure desperation. And guess what? I feel better immediately I feel better immediately like my hands still burn because there’s damage my hands still burn because there’s damage but but it’s like my body relaxed when we barricaded and it was like oh like relief like immediately.

Two things in that passage carry independent weight. First, the technical specificity: through-wall radar imaging is real and deployed, microwave-band directed energy weapons are documented in the Active Denial System and related programs, and the distinction she draws (“you can’t hack it” but “you can maybe get a 3D image”) shows she understood the threat model in technical terms rather than generic paranoia. Second, the somatic report of immediate relief upon physical barricading. Whether the underlying cause was a weapon or not, the fear was real enough that her body marked the difference when the line of sight was broken.

In text messages later leaked by allies she wrote, paraphrased from reporting: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not” and “I would never kill myself or anyone else.”7

Her posthumously released interview with Jeremy Rys and Mark Sokol on YouTube is the most complete single statement she left of her research and the threat environment around it.1 Mark Sokol, her former collaborator and partner, gave a fresh on-record interview to NTD on April 22, 2026, stating Amy had been “taking technology that was developed at NASA and commercializing it” and confirming there had been “attacks that happened” prior to her death.10 His testimony directly corroborates her own pre-death claims rather than qualifying them.

She died June 11, 2022, age 34, in Huntsville, Alabama. The ruling was self-inflicted gunshot wound. No autopsy was publicly reported. She was cremated shortly after. No coroner’s report, police report, or toxicology screen has been released publicly.11 12

The other fourteen: confirmed deaths and disappearances

Each of these is confirmed by multiple mainstream outlets including CNN, CBS, Fortune, Newsweek, Fox News, and the New York Post, and by the White House and FBI statements issued April 17 to 23, 2026.13 14 15 16 None of the mainstream media are honest, so take it for what it’s worth.

Nuno F.G. Loureiro, 47. Director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Shot and killed at his home near Boston on December 15, 2025. The shooter, Claudio Neves Valente, attended the same Portuguese academic program as Loureiro from 1995 to 2000, carried out a mass shooting at Brown University two days earlier killing two students, and died by apparent suicide in a New Hampshire storage unit on December 18.17 The mainstream media read this as personal grievance.

Carl Grillmair, 67. Caltech astrophysicist working on NEOWISE and NEO Surveyor (the detection backbone for Blue Origin’s NEO Hunter planetary defense system). Shot dead on his porch in Llano, California on February 16, 2026. The shooter, Freddy Snyder, age 29, had been arrested months earlier for trespassing on Grillmair’s property while armed with a rifle. That is stalking behavior, not a random encounter.13 15 18

Michael David Hicks, 59. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory research scientist, worked on the DART asteroid deflection mission and Deep Space 1. Died July 2023 in Sunland, California. Cause of death not publicly specified.16

Frank Maiwald, 61. NASA JPL principal researcher in space research. Died in Los Angeles 2024.16

Monica Jacinto Reza, 60. Co-inventor of Mondaloy, a nickel-based superalloy that solved the oxygen-rich staged-combustion problem the Soviets had mastered and US engine makers could not replicate for decades. Patented with Dallis Hardwick in 2010 (the patents all expired by December 2012; from that point Mondaloy has existed only as trade secrets in human heads). Spent 30 years at Rocketdyne and successor Aerojet Rocketdyne as a Technical Fellow, the company’s highest technical rank, and Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Mondaloy is used in approximately 12 components of the AR1 engine (preburner, turbine rotor, turbine housing, ducts, lines, hot gas manifold) and is the material standing between the United States and a gap in its national-security launch capability after Russia cut off RD-180 servicing in March 2022. Sometime between 2021 and 2024, after L3Harris acquired Aerojet Rocketdyne in July 2023, she moved quietly to NASA JPL under her family name Reza rather than the professional name Jacinto attached to her patents and publications. No press release. At JPL she was Director of Materials Processing. Vanished while hiking with a friend in Angeles National Forest on June 22, 2025. Last seen 30 feet behind her companion, smiling. Body never recovered despite extensive search.19 20 21 22 Her disappearance occurred 23 days after DRACO, the US nuclear thermal propulsion program, was canceled in the FY2026 budget request on May 30, 2025.23 The House Oversight Committee has formally flagged that Reza and McCasland worked together on an Air Force research program in the early 2000s on advanced materials for reusable space vehicles and weapons.24 After Hardwick’s death from breast cancer in 2014, Reza was one of two people in the world who knew how to make Mondaloy end-to-end.

Retired Air Force Major General William “Neil” McCasland, 68. Former commander of Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson, where he oversaw a $4.4 billion S&T budget covering all Air Force science and technology programs. Hardwick’s Materials Directorate work and Reza’s Aerojet Rocketdyne contracts both flowed through his funding authority during the Mondaloy program scale-up. He was the funder linking the inventor side and the government qualification side of Mondaloy. Secondarily, Wright-Patterson is long rumored to house Roswell debris, and McCasland was named in the 2016 WikiLeaks Podesta emails in connection with UAP research, which is the angle that initially drew public attention to his case. Walked out of his Albuquerque home on February 27, 2026, leaving behind phone, prescription glasses, and wearables; took his hiking boots, wallet, and a .38 revolver.13 20

Steven Garcia, 48. Property custodian at the Kansas City National Security Campus, which manufactures non-nuclear components for American nuclear weapons. KCNSC operates joint additive-manufacturing facilities with Sandia for nickel-based superalloys in weapons components, the same material family Mondaloy belongs to.25 Missing since August 28, 2025, last seen leaving his Albuquerque home on foot carrying a handgun.16

Melissa Casias, 54. Los Alamos National Laboratory employee with security clearance. Missing since June 2025. Her phone was factory-reset, purse and keys left behind.15 26

Anthony Chavez, 79. Retired Los Alamos National Laboratory employee. Missing since May 2025, left home without belongings.26

Jason Thomas. Assistant director at Novartis with active Department of Defense contracts. Disappeared from Wakefield, Massachusetts December 12, 2025. Body recovered from Lake Quannapowitt March 17, 2026. Police reported no evidence of foul play, though that is a preliminary finding rather than a case closure.14

Matthew James Sullivan, 39. Former US Air Force intelligence officer. Died in 2024 before he could testify in a federal whistleblower case concerning UFOs. Rep. Eric Burlison has called the “suicide” ruling suspicious.13

Joshua LeBlanc, 29. NASA aerospace technologies electrical engineer at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. Team lead for NASA’s Space Nuclear Propulsion Instrumentation and Control Maturation program, then team lead on DRACO (Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operation), a nuclear thermal propulsion engine designed to enable Mars missions. DRACO operates at extreme temperatures where nickel-based superalloys in the Mondaloy family are the only materials capable of surviving the hot-section environment. DRACO was canceled on May 30, 2025 in the FY2026 budget request, with all nuclear thermal and electric propulsion funding eliminated.23 LeBlanc died July 22, 2025, 53 days after the cancellation, in a fiery Tesla crash in rural Alabama near Florence. Body burned beyond recognition, required three days and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to identify. Tesla Sentry Mode data showed the vehicle sat at Huntsville International Airport for four hours that morning, then drove west on rural backroads outside his known plans. Phone, wallet, and dog left at his apartment. Family reported him missing at 4:32 AM; he was found dead at 2:45 PM. His cousin Brittany Fox publicly stated the family feared he had been abducted. His case resurfaced in mainstream reporting April 22-23, 2026 as a cluster member.27 28 29

James “Tony” Moffatt, 60. Decorated Army veteran (retired Lt. Col., 21-year career), Georgia Tech MS in aerospace engineering, US Naval Test Pilot School graduate, payload and flight crew support specialist at NASA Johnson Space Center Astronaut Office contributing to 14 Space Shuttle ISS construction missions, founded Moffatt Systems Inc. aerospace consulting, principal research engineer at UAH where he worked on the Army’s Degraded Visual Environment Mitigation program and Next Generation Unmanned Aircraft Systems.30 31

Andrew Moffatt, 30. James Moffatt’s son. Research engineer and scientist at UAH’s Research and Engineering Support Center (RSESC).30 31

Both Moffatts died April 17, 2026 when James’s Mooney M20 single-engine aircraft crashed in a wooded area near Union County Airport in South Carolina on the return leg from Raleigh-Durham to Huntsville after a refueling stop. His wife Leasa (61) and other son William (28, information technology specialist) died in the same crash; they are not counted as researchers in the cluster but their deaths are part of the event. NTSB and FAA are investigating; cause has not been released; the investigation is expected to take approximately one year.30 31 32

All fourteen cases are confirmed real. With Amy, fifteen named cluster members (plus two non-researcher Moffatt family members killed in the same aircraft).

The unifying field

The fourteen plus Amy do not represent fifteen different unrelated research topics. They represent five interlocking subdivisions of one classified US technology stack.

Advanced propulsion and gravity modification: Eskridge (exotic propulsion, antigravity, gravity modification), Reza (nickel super-alloys for reusable rocket manufacturing), McCasland (oversaw classified space weapons programs), LeBlanc (NASA DRACO nuclear thermal propulsion, team lead on the engine designed to enable Mars missions), James Moffatt (NASA Johnson Space Center payload specialist on 14 ISS construction missions, UAH principal research engineer on defense aviation systems), Andrew Moffatt (UAH research engineer).

JPL planetary science and space defense: Hicks (DART asteroid deflection), Maiwald (JPL space research), Grillmair (NEOWISE and NEO Surveyor, the detection infrastructure that missile defense and NEO Hunter depend on), Reza again overlapping.

Fusion and plasma physics: Loureiro (MIT fusion director, magnetic reconnection expert). Amy’s father Richard’s specialty is also plasma physics and fusion, and Amy’s own exotic propulsion work overlapped with plasma approaches to gravity modification.

Nuclear weapons and propulsion infrastructure: Casias and Chavez (Los Alamos, where the US built its first nuclear weapons and continues maintenance and development), Garcia (Kansas City NSC, non-nuclear components of active US nuclear weapons), LeBlanc again overlapping (nuclear thermal propulsion).

UAP-adjacent classified programs: McCasland (Wright-Patterson, long rumored to house Roswell debris, named in Podesta emails on UAP), Sullivan (UFO whistleblower who died before testimony), Eskridge (exotic propulsion research adjacent to UAP propulsion theories).

The Mondaloy pattern

The single tightest documented professional link between cluster members runs through Mondaloy. Mondaloy is a nickel-based superalloy invented in the mid-1990s by Monica Jacinto (later Reza) at Rocketdyne and Dallis Hardwick at Rockwell Science Center. The name is a portmanteau: “Mon” from Monica, “Dal” from Dallis. Hardwick and Reza put their names into the material itself, which means their names are sitting inside the engines launching America’s national security satellites whether anyone acknowledges it or not.20 21

The strategic problem Mondaloy solved is specific and was longstanding. Oxygen-rich staged-combustion rocket engines are the most efficient propulsion architecture known to science. Russia mastered them in the 1960s. The US could not replicate them for decades, not because of physics or funding but because of metallurgy: the metals strong enough to survive high-pressure gaseous oxygen would catch fire, and the metals that did not burn were too weak to hold the pressure. Mondaloy did both. It allowed the US to build the AR1 engine to replace Russian-made RD-180 engines on United Launch Alliance rockets. Mondaloy is used in approximately 12 components of AR1 (preburner, turbine rotor, turbine housing, ducts, lines, hot gas manifold). Two variants exist: Mondaloy 100 and Mondaloy 200, optimized for different temperature and pressure ranges. It can be cast, forged, and 3D-printed.20 21 25

Mondaloy became operationally critical in March 2022, when Russia cut off RD-180 servicing in retaliation for Ukraine sanctions. From that date forward Mondaloy was the single material standing between the United States and a gap in its ability to launch national security satellites.

All three Mondaloy patents had expired by December 2012. From that point forward, Mondaloy has existed only as trade secrets inside human heads. Three people knew how to make it end-to-end:

Dallis Hardwick (co-inventor, ran government qualification at the Air Force Materials Directorate). Died Stage IV breast cancer at Hospice of Dayton, Ohio, in 2014. Natural death, documented by death certificate.

Monica Jacinto Reza (co-inventor, ran contractor production at Aerojet Rocketdyne for 30 years). Disappeared June 22, 2025.

William “Neil” McCasland (the AFRL commander who funded both the inventor side and the qualification side during program scale-up). Disappeared February 27, 2026.

Two of the three remaining living people who knew Mondaloy end-to-end after 2014 have vanished within an eight-month window. That window opens 23 days after the May 30, 2025 cancellation of DRACO, the US nuclear thermal propulsion program. Joshua LeBlanc, who led DRACO’s instrumentation and control work, died 53 days after the cancellation. DRACO operates in the extreme-temperature regime where Mondaloy-family nickel superalloys are required. Steven Garcia, a property custodian at the Kansas City National Security Campus where Sandia operates joint additive-manufacturing facilities for the same nickel superalloy family used in nuclear weapons components, vanished August 28, 2025.

Four of the five Mondaloy-adjacent disappearances (Reza, McCasland, Casias, Chavez, Garcia) occurred in the Albuquerque/Los Alamos/Kirtland nexus. The New Mexico geographic concentration the document already noted has a material-specific explanation: New Mexico is where the US manufactures and qualifies advanced nickel superalloys for both nuclear weapons and propulsion programs.

This is the single most concrete professional link between cluster members yet documented. It is not speculative. It is patent records, published interviews, contract structure, and corporate history.

These fields share contractors (Aerojet Rocketdyne, JPL, Los Alamos, Wright-Patterson, Kansas City NSC, Northrop Grumman), funding streams (DoD, DoE, NASA classified programs), and in some cases specific project histories. The Reza-McCasland professional link is documented by the House Oversight Committee. Amy herself explicitly traced her field back to Ning Li, the other famous Huntsville antigravity researcher who got a DoD grant in 2001 and then disappeared from public view before dying in 2021.33 34

Geographic concentration is tighter than random. The cluster now spans three distinct metro nodes, each tied to specific classified facilities. New Mexico (Los Alamos, Albuquerque, Kansas City NSC contractor in Albuquerque): Casias, Chavez, Garcia, McCasland. Los Angeles County (JPL, Caltech): Hicks, Maiwald, Reza, Grillmair. Huntsville Alabama (UAH, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal): Eskridge, LeBlanc, James Moffatt, Andrew Moffatt, plus the Ning Li precedent. That’s thirteen of fifteen cluster cases in three metros tied to specific US classified aerospace and nuclear facilities. Huntsville is the US rocket city and the historical home of the Von Braun team, but five cluster members in a single mid-sized research community is tighter than anywhere else in the cluster and not producible by random selection from the national 20,000-person DoE/NASA pool.

Timing shows acceleration and continuation after federal investigation was announced. One case in 2022 (Eskridge). One in 2023 (Hicks). Two in 2024 (Maiwald, Sullivan). Five in 2025 (LeBlanc July, Reza June, Casias June, Chavez May, Garcia August). Five in late 2025 to April 2026 (Loureiro December 15, Grillmair February 16, McCasland February 27, Thomas body found March 17, Moffatt family April 17). The April 17 crash occurred the same day Trump first publicly discussed the scientist investigation, and LeBlanc’s case resurfaced five days later on April 22-23. That the tempo has continued after federal scrutiny was announced is evidence of either brazenness, confidence in non-identification, or an operational cadence the operator is unwilling to interrupt. All three readings strengthen the coordinated-action hypothesis.

Why Amy’s case is surfacing now

Five converging causes, in order of causal weight.

Ross Coulthart’s October 2025 statement: Coulthart, senior investigations correspondent at NewsNation with credibility on UAP topics,35 dedicated a segment on his Reality Check podcast (episode aired October 19 to 21, 2025) to Amy. After reviewing photographs of her burns and her emails, he publicly said, “I spoke to Amy Eskridge. I don’t think she killed herself.”36 37 This broke the story out of UFO-community forums into mainstream UAP media.

The acceleration in winter 2025 to spring 2026: Loureiro was shot, December 15, 2025. Thomas body recovered, March 17, 2026. Grillmair shot, February 16, 2026. McCasland vanished, February 27, 2026. Four high-profile cases in three months forced the question of whether earlier cases belonged in the same conversation.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), House Oversight Committee member and chair of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs, went on Fox News and stated Amy “was likely murdered by a U.S. aerospace company with a directed energy weapon.”38 A sitting congressman making that claim on television is a discrete escalation event.

The Trump administration took it up. On April 17, 2026 Trump told reporters “I just left a meeting on that subject, so pretty serious stuff.”13 Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed joint White House and FBI review.15 FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed a formal investigation, explicitly framing it around “classified access” and “foreign actors.”16 39 The House Oversight Committee under Chairman James Comer sent letters April 20 to 21, 2026 to the FBI, DoE, DoD, and NASA demanding briefings by April 27.16

The independent evidentiary record was already on file. Franc Milburn, a retired British intelligence officer Amy hired while alive, completed an investigation and submitted to Congress in 2023 a finding that she had been targeted with directed energy weapons and murdered by a US aerospace company.38 40 Michael Shellenberger anonymously released Milburn’s 177-page document publicly in July 2023. That record is what Coulthart and Burlison are now reading from.

The trigger was that the cluster grew large enough to force federal attention, and the Trump administration’s posture on UAPs made prosecutorial willingness visible. Her 2022 evidence hasn’t changed. The institutional appetite to look at it did.

The father question

Richard Eskridge, Amy’s father, publicly stated on April 20, 2026 that there is nothing suspicious about Amy’s death and pushed back against the conspiracy framing.41

Richard is a retired NASA engineer specializing in plasma physics and fusion, Amy’s closest research collaborator, co-founder and CTO of The Institute for Exotic Science, publicly aligned with her antigravity research through at least the 2018 HAL5 talk they gave together.1 2 12 He is exactly the person who would know best whether she was the kind of person who would kill herself, and exactly the person most vulnerable to pressure, threats, or access agreements if someone wanted the suicide ruling to stand.

Four honest readings of his public denial:

Genuine belief. He examined the available evidence as a scientist and as her father and concluded suicide. Families who lose children to suicide often work very hard to protect the ruling from being relitigated; reopening the question is emotionally punishing even when warranted. This reading is plausible and does not require anyone to be lying. Families also accept the official ruling because it is the easier, nameable thing; the alternative (your daughter was murdered and the state does not care) is harder to live with. So his statement could be not dishonesty but simply exhausted self-protection.

Compromise. He was paid, threatened, or bound by a nondisclosure obligation from NASA or a contractor that makes any other position impossible for him to voice. His specialty (plasma physics and fusion) would give him standing access agreements that could be invoked. Family can betray. This is not anomalous.

Privileged knowledge. He knows that the suicide ruling is wrong, but he cannot or will not share it.

There’s not much to go off of to distinguish between these from outside. But Richard’s position, by itself, does not close the case against the combined weight of her own recordings, the leaked texts, the Milburn investigation, the Sokol corroboration, the physical evidence of burns, and the procedural anomalies. A single family member’s denial is not dispositive against a primary-source evidentiary record.

Other family statements similarly weighed in but not decisive: Julia Hicks, Michael David Hicks’s daughter, told CNN on April 21 she sees no connection between her father’s death and the broader cluster and that no agency has contacted her.42 Susan McCasland Wilkerson, Neil McCasland’s wife, wrote on Facebook in March 2026 that she does not believe her husband was abducted.43 These are data points against the maximalist “all fifteen were hits” reading but not against any individual case being foul play.

Why this is most likely one operation

Earlier versions of this document treated each case as individually suspicious and then asked whether they connected. That is the wrong null hypothesis given the evidence. Fifteen people in narrow interlocking sub-fields of classified US space propulsion, space defense, fusion, and nuclear weapons, clustered in three metro areas tied to specific facilities, with accelerating timing, documented professional links between at least two of them, and case tempo that has continued after federal investigation was publicly announced, is not a distribution that demands independence be presumed. The correct null hypothesis is “one cause, unless proven otherwise.”

Under that null, the cases that initially looked “conventional” do not break away as cleanly as early reporting suggested.

Loureiro and Valente. The initial read was personal grievance: Valente attended the same Portuguese academic program as Loureiro in the 1990s, shot up Brown University two days before killing Loureiro, and died by apparent suicide three days after. The pattern is also exactly what a targeted operation would look like if you wanted plausible deniability: recruit or manipulate an unstable person with a grudge, direct him at the target, let the personal-grievance narrative write itself, then the shooter conveniently dies before interrogation. I am not asserting Valente was an asset. I am asserting the “clean personal grievance” reading is weaker than the press implied, and that a targeted operation that eliminated the director of MIT’s fusion program at the exact moment the broader cluster was accelerating is a possibility the “mentally ill former classmate” framing does not rule out.

Grillmair and Snyder. I reclassified this already. Armed trespass on the victim’s property months before the shooting is stalking behavior. The “random carjacker” frame does not survive that fact.

Thomas. Found in a lake three months after disappearing; police report “no evidence of foul play” as a preliminary finding. He had active DoD contracts. Preliminary findings in cases of this kind frequently change when deeper investigation runs.

Garcia. Walked away armed, possibly self-harm, but his access to the Kansas City National Security Campus (non-nuclear components of US nuclear weapons) keeps him inside the cluster’s field regardless of what actually happened to him.

Six of eleven original cases have genuinely unexplained circumstances: Eskridge, Reza, Casias, Chavez, McCasland, Hicks and Maiwald. Adding Grillmair (reclassified) makes seven. Adding Sullivan makes eight. Adding LeBlanc (airport detour, abandoned phone/wallet/dog, body burned beyond recognition which destroys forensic evidence, family-stated abduction fear) makes nine. The Moffatt plane crash is weighted more tentatively: single-engine GA aircraft have a real background accident rate, the NTSB investigation is pending, and the whole-family mass-casualty profile is different from the individual-target pattern in the rest of the cluster. That said, James Moffatt’s career profile is a direct fit (14 Space Shuttle ISS missions, UAH research engineer on defense aviation), Andrew Moffatt was at UAH Research and Engineering Support Center, both were Huntsville-based, and the crash occurred the same day Trump first publicly discussed the broader investigation. Conservative count of suspicious cases is nine of fifteen; an honest read including Moffatt as plausible raises it to eleven of fifteen. The circumstances themselves are patterned: phones factory-reset or left behind, bodies not recovered or recovered burned beyond recognition, causes not released, witnesses in the right place but never quite in view at the right moment.

Weighting the alternatives honestly:

One coordinated operation: most likely, 65 to 75 percent. A single actor (most plausibly a foreign state intelligence service given the scope, resources, and operational tradecraft required, though a US private aerospace contractor cannot be ruled out for some cases) running a campaign against the US classified propulsion and nuclear technology stack. The Mondaloy pattern is the single tightest professional link between cluster members and the strongest evidence for coordination on at least the Reza-McCasland-LeBlanc-Garcia subset.

Multiple actors targeting the overlapping field: 20 to 25 percent. For example foreign intelligence hitting some targets and a US private contractor hitting others, with overlap because both care about the same technology. Still effectively one story; the driver is the tech stack.

Mix of targeted and unrelated cases: 5 to 10 percent.

Pure coincidence: under 2 percent.

Combined, the probability that the cluster is driven by a coordinated campaign or set of overlapping campaigns against the same US classified technology stack is roughly 85 to 94 percent. The probability that the fifteen-plus deaths and disappearances are a random coincidence of unrelated events is roughly 2 percent or less.

The most probable conclusion

On Amy. Murder, probability 75 to 85 percent. Suicide, below 15 percent. The primary-source evidentiary record is her own recorded voice describing real-time directed-energy targeting with technically accurate detail, photographed burns, leaked texts explicitly disclaiming suicide, Milburn’s independent professional investigation concluding murder, Sokol’s corroboration of attacks and motive (commercialization of NASA-developed technology), Burlison’s public statement that she was likely murdered, the Ning Li precedent in the same city and field, and the procedural anomalies of no autopsy, swift cremation, and no public investigative record. Her father’s denial and the official suicide ruling exist as counterweights but do not touch the primary-source record. The ruling was produced by a process that performed no autopsy. Richard’s denial is explicable under four readings not limited to “it was actually suicide.”

On the cluster. One coordinated operation or a small number of overlapping operations targeting the same US classified technology stack, probability 75 to 90 percent. The unifying field is advanced propulsion, space defense, fusion, nuclear weapons infrastructure, and UAP-adjacent classified programs, which share contractors, funding, and professional networks. The geographic concentration (New Mexico and Los Angeles County), timing acceleration, and documented professional links between specific victims (Reza and McCasland) are consistent with a campaign and inconsistent with coincidence.

On the perpetrator. Two threat models are on the table and not mutually exclusive. Patel has framed the FBI investigation around foreign actors and classified access.39 Milburn’s 2023 submission proposed a US private aerospace contractor protecting classified technology from public commercialization.38 Both models can be true on different cases in the cluster.

For the Mondaloy targets specifically (Reza, McCasland, LeBlanc, Garcia), Russia has the sharpest specific motive. Mondaloy enabled the AR1 engine to replace the Russian RD-180. Russia cut off RD-180 servicing in March 2022 over Ukraine sanctions, expecting that move to constrain US national-security launches. Mondaloy made that constraint partial rather than crippling. Eliminating the people who hold the trade-secret knowledge of how to manufacture Mondaloy at production scale would re-impose the constraint. Iran is named in CBS reporting and China is in the frame for the broader cluster, but Russia has the most direct and recent material grievance against the specific Mondaloy-adjacent personnel.14 The Milburn “US aerospace contractor” model fits less well for Mondaloy targets specifically because Aerojet Rocketdyne (and L3Harris after the July 2023 acquisition) would want to protect their employees who carry the trade-secret knowledge, not eliminate them. The contractor-protection model still fits Eskridge well (her work threatened to commercialize technology a contractor wanted classified) but it is a poor fit for Mondaloy. Both models can coexist across the cluster.

On the specific-motive question. One hypothesis circulating publicly, attributed to X user anthonyandrews, proposes that the trigger was a major fusion technology breakthrough that would destroy the fossil fuel industry, with “significant progress made recently, then silence.”44 This hypothesis has partial support and partial mismatch, and both sides are worth stating honestly.

The partial support is real. Fusion made documented major progress in the relevant window. Lawrence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility achieved fusion ignition in December 2022, then 120 percent energy gain in repeated 2024 experiments. Helion’s Polaris prototype hit 150 million degrees Celsius with deuterium-tritium fuel in January 2026 (announced February 13, 2026), becoming the first private fusion machine to do so, with a Microsoft commercial power-purchase agreement and a commercial plant under construction in Washington state. Commonwealth Fusion Systems, spun out of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, announced a commercial facility in Chesterfield, Virginia. The DOE released its Fusion Commercialization Roadmap on October 16, 2025 targeting grid power by the mid-2030s. Total private fusion funding grew from $1.7 billion in 2020 to $15 billion by September 2025. Nuno Loureiro, shot December 15, 2025, was the director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, quoted that month in MIT Energy Initiative coverage of the commercialization pathway. He was not peripheral to the fusion industry. He was at its institutional center. If a fossil-fuel-protecting actor were to pick one name in US fusion research to eliminate in late 2025, it would plausibly be Loureiro. And he is the one who was killed.

The partial mismatch is also real. A fusion-protection motive does not explain the bulk of the cluster. Eskridge, Reza, LeBlanc, the Moffatts, McCasland, and Ning Li worked on propulsion and space systems, not fusion power generation. Casias, Chavez, and Garcia worked on nuclear weapons infrastructure, which is tangentially related to nuclear science but not to commercial fusion economics. Hicks, Maiwald, and Grillmair worked on JPL planetary and space-defense systems. Sullivan was UAP-adjacent. A fossil-fuel-driven fusion-suppression operation that killed fifteen people across five research fields would be expending enormous resources on cases that have nothing to do with fossil fuel economics. The simpler read is that the cluster has a broader motive than fusion specifically, and fusion is one sub-field within the broader target set.

So the honest treatment of the Andrews hypothesis: as a specific trigger-level explanation it fits Loureiro well and may explain the acceleration of the tempo in late 2025, but it does not scale to the full cluster. It may be one component of a larger motive architecture. The larger motive most likely involves multiple overlapping interests (fossil fuel incumbents, classified US propulsion contractors, foreign intelligence services) all pursuing different subsets of the same broader target population for different reasons. The cluster looks like what you would see if several competing actors were all moving against the same class of people at once, because that class holds knowledge multiple powerful interests want suppressed, acquired, or controlled.

On Amy’s prediction. She explicitly said she was going public because that was the strategy Ning Li had failed to use, and because Li had been disappeared into a classified program as a result. Amy’s prediction was lucid: going private would have meant quiet burial. She was disappeared anyway, by a different mechanism than Li. The strategy did not save her, but it did mean her recordings and texts survived her and are now driving the federal investigation three years later. In that narrow sense, she was right: someone noticed.

An adjacent death: David Wilcock

On April 20, 2026, four days after Trump publicly confirmed the scientist investigation and approximately 24 hours after his own final YouTube livestream, David Wilcock died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound outside Nederland in Boulder County, Colorado. He was 53.45 46

In that April 19 livestream he said:45 47

I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing. It’s a little bit scary.

He was a paranormal author and YouTuber with about 511,000 subscribers, not a scientist. He held no security clearance, had no professional ties to the facilities in the cluster, and did not have access to the classified US propulsion, fusion, or nuclear technology stack. For those reasons he does not belong inside the eleven-plus case count. The campaign profile that fits the cluster targets people with classified access to specific research. Wilcock fit the profile of a public commentator on the cluster, not a researcher inside it.

Four facts keep him worth noting in the record:

The timing. He named the cluster publicly and died approximately 24 hours later. That is a striking proximity even if the causal chain runs through his own psychology rather than through external action.

The manner. His death was witnessed by Boulder County Sheriff’s deputies. A 911 call came in at 10:44 AM reporting an “unknown problem”; the dispatcher believed the caller was in a mental health crisis. Deputies arrived, found Wilcock outside a residence holding a weapon, and within minutes he used it on himself.46 Police-witnessed self-harm is the hardest kind of death to read as staged, which is why he fits a different category than Amy.

The harassment pattern. A whistleblower has claimed Wilcock was the target of a sustained cyberstalking campaign that harmed him significantly in the period before his death.48 If substantiated, that fits a softer version of the pressure pattern Amy described: prolonged harassment as a pressure mechanism, with the endpoint reached by pushing the target to self-harm rather than by direct killing. The mechanism would still be external; the final act would not be. His best friend, in contact with him through April 19, said he appeared to be in good spirits, which sits in tension with the mental-health-crisis framing the 911 dispatcher assumed.49

The spiritual framework. Wilcock operated in explicit occult territory, including claims of telepathic contact with non-human intelligences and reincarnation of the psychic Edgar Cayce. Scripture is direct: “There shall not be found among you anyone… who practices divination… or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who consults the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, LSB). That framework matters when weighing his statements and when considering what he may have been contending with psychologically and spiritually. A man operating in divination who experiences sustained distress is not straightforwardly explained by either “he was murdered” or “he was mentally ill.” Both natural pressure and spiritual oppression may be involved, and neither rules out the other.

Wilcock is in the record as adjacent. Whatever happened to him is context the investigation should note but not conflate with the classified-scientist cluster.

Context: the Livelsberger manifesto

On January 1, 2025, US Army Green Beret Matthew Alan Livelsberger, 37, a Special Forces Operations Master Sergeant with 19 years of service, five Bronze Stars, and active TS/SCI clearance, died outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. He shot himself in the head inside a Tesla Cybertruck loaded with sixty pounds of pyrotechnics and twenty gallons of fuel; the vehicle exploded seconds later. Seven bystanders had minor injuries; the Cybertruck’s steel body channeled the blast upward and limited damage. Livelsberger was on approved leave from his posting with the 10th Special Forces Group at Camp Panzer Kaserne in Germany, where his role was remote and autonomous systems manager for military drone operations.50 51

His death is not a cluster case. It was self-inflicted, witnessed in effect by the physical sequence of the shot preceding the explosion, and he had documented PTSD and was receiving mental health treatment. What matters for the Eskridge investigation is not how he died but what he wrote the day before.

On December 31, 2024, Livelsberger emailed a manifesto to retired Army Chief Warrant Officer Sam Shoemate. The email was made public on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast on January 3, 2025. The FBI and Las Vegas police said there was “strong evidence” Livelsberger wrote it though authentication was not conclusively finalized in early reporting. Its core claims, verbatim and paraphrased:52 53 54

The 2024 East Coast mystery drone sightings were not conventional aircraft. They were “the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft” by China, launched from Atlantic submarines, similar in purpose to the 2023 Chinese spy balloon.

“Only we and China have this capability.”

“The most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed.” “Unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the [White House] if they wanted. It’s checkmate.”

“You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.”

Three honest readings of the gravitic propulsion claim:

One, the claim is substantively accurate. The US and China have classified gravitic propulsion programs operational at some level; Livelsberger had TS/SCI with “UAP and USAP” (Unacknowledged Special Access Program) access and was describing what he knew. This is the reading that most directly supports the Eskridge investigation, because it would mean Amy was researching and preparing to publish in a field the US classifies at the highest levels, which gives a concrete motive for silencing her.

Two, the claim is introduced disinformation overlaid on Livelsberger’s genuine testimony. The same email contained verifiable, specific, and damning claims about a 2019 US airstrike in Nimruz Province, Afghanistan, that allegedly killed civilians including women and children and was covered up, claims that align with UN ground investigations and documented policy changes. A documented counterintelligence pattern is to introduce fantastical-seeming claims alongside real whistleblower testimony to discredit the whistleblower (independent analysis by security blogger flyingpenguin develops this reading in detail).55 Under this reading, gravitic propulsion was chosen as the fantastical overlay precisely because the subject is strategically salient enough to serve as a discrediting vector.

Three, somewhere in between. Livelsberger had partial access to real classified discussions of exotic propulsion, mixed it with speculation, and his PTSD or TBI contributed to the narrative drift.

The key point is that all three readings strengthen the argument that Amy’s work was in a field the US treats as extraordinarily sensitive. If gravitic propulsion is real, she was a target. If it is disinformation, the disinformation architecture chose it as plausible cover, which tells you it is strategically salient enough to be weaponized in counterintelligence narratives, which in turn means a researcher working publicly on it is genuinely exposed. The hypothesis that Amy was killed for her research survives any of the three readings.

A note on the cluster’s composition in light of this. The framing “most of the scientists worked on anti-gravity propulsion” circulates publicly and is not quite accurate. The accurate version: a meaningful subset worked on exotic propulsion including gravity modification (Eskridge, Ning Li historically, and arguably Reza and McCasland via adjacent programs), and others worked in classified fields that share research infrastructure with gravity modification (fusion and plasma physics, nuclear thermal propulsion like LeBlanc’s DRACO, space defense and surveillance). The unifying variable is classified access to the US aerospace and nuclear technology stack, not any single research topic. Livelsberger’s manifesto is evidence for the strategic salience of one specific sub-field within that stack, not evidence that all fifteen cluster members worked on that sub-field.

Conclusion

Some will say do not research nickel. Do not research nuclear thermal propulsion. Do not look up who ran DRACO’s instrumentation. Do not look up who built Mondaloy. If you value your life, whatever you do, do not look up what they have in common. The fact that this document exists, that the SpaceNews 2017 interview with Monica Jacinto is still online, that the patents are public record, that Hardwick’s death certificate is in the Ohio vital records system, that the AFRL budget structure under McCasland is documented, that DRACO’s May 30, 2025 cancellation is in the FY2026 budget request, and that LeBlanc’s role is on his LinkedIn, means the answer to “what they have in common” is not actually hidden. It is sitting in plain sight, scattered across mainstream sources, waiting for anyone to assemble it. Don’t listen to the cowards. Study. Research. Verify. Publish. Publish anonymously if required. Use my guides if you don’t know how to publish. Build. Destroy evil. Let’s make the world a better place.

India’s government ordered GitHub to remove BitChat repositories within three hours, citing risks from its Bluetooth mesh networking that enables anonymous, serverless messaging during internet shutdowns amid NEET-related protests in Delhi. The open-source code was rapidly mirrored on Radicle, a decentralized protocol without central servers, allowing ongoing distribution and seeding by users despite the takedown effort. This event illustrates how decentralized infrastructure, like BitChat’s offline design and Radicle’s hosting, resists centralized control, highlighting tools built to bypass government network restrictions.
