11 scientists have mysteriously died or gone missing in the USA.
They were engaged in secret scientific work.
The US Congress has launched an investigation into the mysterious deaths and disappearances of scientists and specialists who had access to classified information. "Izvestiya" reported this.
Congressmen James Comer and Eric Burlison sent an official request to the Department of Energy, the Pentagon, the FBI, and NASA, demanding the provision of information on all cases involving employees who worked with classified scientific data. Members of the Oversight Committee emphasize that such incidents could pose a threat to national security.
The Congress has also demanded a briefing on measures to protect individuals holding state secrets. According to Congressman Tim Burchett, the deaths involving officials and scientists are not coincidental, and certain information could shock the public.
The White House has stated that President Donald Trump has taken personal control of the situation. The administration, in cooperation with the FBI, is investigating all the facts. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, "no aspect will be overlooked" as part of the investigation.
According to Fox News, since 2022, the deaths or disappearances of at least 11 specialists in the fields of nuclear physics and space have been recorded.
One of the key individuals on this list is US Air Force General William McCasland, who led a research laboratory and was considered a holder of top-secret information. His whereabouts have been unknown since February of this year.
Among them are NASA employee Monica Jacinto Reza, contractor Steven Garcia, astrophysicist Karla Grillmayer, and MIT physicist Nuno Loureiro. The death of Frank Maywald, an employee of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has also been reported.
In particular, the death of 34-year-old Amy Eskridge, who studied antigravity in 2022, has drawn the attention of investigators. Officially ruled a suicide, this case remains surrounded by suspicion.
One former FBI official, Christopher Swecker, did not rule out the possibility that such incidents could be behind operations by foreign states.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
