Washington: The incidents of death and disappearance of many prominent scientists related to space, defense and sensitive scientific research in America have raised serious questions. In the recent past, information has come to light about at least 10 such cases in which scientists either died under suspicious circumstances or went missing suddenly. After this development, the administration of US President Donald Trump has given instructions to investigate the matter and it is being considered as a matter related to national security.
According to reports, such incidents started in July 2023, when Michael David Hicks, a scientist associated with NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, died. The cause of his death was not made public, due to which there has been doubt about these cases since the beginning. After this, such incidents also happened with many other scientists at different times.
American MP Eric Burlison has expressed concern about these cases and said that this cannot be a mere coincidence. They believe that the scientists who were targeted were working in sensitive areas like aerospace, defense and UFOs. He feared that foreign powers like China, Russia or Iran may have a role in this, although this has not been confirmed yet.
Several cases have attracted special attention. MIT professor Nuno Loureiro was shot dead, while people associated with Los Alamos, such as Anthony Chavez and Melissa Cassias, went missing. California astrophysicist Carl Grillmayer was also murdered. Apart from this, bodies of some scientists were later recovered, which has further complicated the matter.
Many scientists are still reported missing. These include some names of which no clue has been found for a long time. This has increased the pressure on the investigating agencies to solve these cases on priority.
Donald Trump has described these incidents as serious and said that the people with whom these incidents happened were very important scientists. He indicated that these cases would be investigated in depth in the coming days. The White House has also said that every aspect is being reviewed in collaboration with all agencies.
According to the press secretary, the administration is working closely with the FBI and other agencies. The aim of the investigation is to find out whether there is any link between these incidents or whether they are isolated cases. Officials say that investigation will be done keeping every possibility in mind.
At present it is not clear whether there is any direct connection between all these incidents or not. Some officials are considering it a coincidence, while many experts are seeing it as a pattern. This is the reason why the investigating agencies are investigating the case from every angle.
Overall, these incidents of death and disappearance of scientists have become a matter of concern for America. If any connection is revealed between these cases, it can have an impact not only on national security but also at the global level.
