UFO expert privy to ‘most sensitive secrets’ goes missing in New Mexico: ‘Grave national security crisis’
A retired Air Force major general with deep expertise about UFOs has been missing without a trace since Feb. 28, and his mysterious disappearance constitutes a “grave national security crisis,” according to an investigative journalist.
Local law enforcement said William Neil McCasland, 68, disappeared after leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on foot, leaving his phone behind in a missing persons investigation that has since been joined by the FBI.
“This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head,” journalist Ross Coulthart said in the latest edition of his “Reality Check” podcast, adding that McCasland possesses deep knowledge about what the US government might be hiding regarding extraterrestrials.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office issued a Silver Alert for the missing retiree, seeking help from the public in locating him and noting that law enforcement’s concerns for his well being are exacerbated due to “medical issues.”
During his Air Force career, McCasland headed up research at Wright Patterson Air Force Base — a role in which he oversaw classified space weapons programs, according to Coulthart.
The base, near Dayton, Ohio, is rumored to be in possession of fragments of extraterrestrial debris allegedly from UFO hotspot Roswell, New Mexico.
Coulthart said McCasland’s disappearance coinciding with President Trump making overtures about the US government’s knowledge about UFOs, saying the ex-general was supportive of giving the public more information about those classified topics.
“The timing is screechingly relevant,” Coulthart said. “The fact that Gen. Neil McCasland has disappeared off the face of the earth is a grave national security crisis for the United States of America. This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head.”
