NASA Scientists Break Down
There’s a story that caught our attention. We’re talking about a number of U.S. scientists, some connected to very sensitive research, who have died or are missing. Let’s break down what we know so far.
NASA Research Scientists that Died – Carl Grilmar
I’m going to start with Carl Grilmar. Carl Grilmar, pictured here, was an astrophysicist at Caltech. He worked on a NASA-supported space telescope project and infrared systems. Now, he was shot and died at his home just two months ago.
NASA Research Scientists that Died – Frank Maywald
Then there’s Frank Maywald. He was a senior scientist at NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Lab, focused on advanced satellite systems. He died nearly two years ago, but his cause of death has never been made public.
NASA Research Scientists Missing – Monica Reza
Meanwhile, Monica Reza. Monica Reza also reportedly connected to NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Lab project. She went missing last summer while hiking in California. No trace. It keeps going.
NASA Research Air Force General Missing – William McCaslin
There’s William McCaslin, a retired Air Force general. He, too, is missing. He’s a former head of Air Force Research Lab and oversaw advanced space and surveillance programs. He’s been missing since February. Reports say he once oversaw funding connected to a project that also included Monica Reza.
NASA Research Administrator Missing – Melissa Casais
Now, there’s more to New Mexico. Melissa Casais. She has been missing since last summer. She worked at Los Alamos National Lab. She had an administrative role, but reportedly also had security clearances. Just months earlier that she went missing.
NASA Research Engineer Missing – Anthony Chavez
So, too, did Anthony Chavez, also connected to Los Alamos. An engineer, he disappeared during a walk. No signs. No answers.
NASA MIT Research Missing – Nuno Larrero
Then, finally, there’s Nuno Larrero. You remember Nuno Larrero? He was the MIT researcher focused on nuclear fusion and was shot and killed and died in his Massachusetts home last December. It was the case of the Brown shooter. It’s a separate case with no confirmed links to the others.
Key Take Away from Missing and People That Have Died
Authorities have not connected these cases, but look at the overlap. The same handful of institutions, NASA, Air Force Research, Los Alamos Laboratory. So, could they be connected, or is this something else entirely?
