Fast ein Dutzend Wissenschaftler im Zusammenhang mit Nuklear- und Weltraumverteidigungsprogrammen der NASA, SpaceX und Blue Origin sind bereits im Jahr 2022 tot oder werden vermisst, und sie blieben von Behörden und der Öffentlichkeit weitgehend unbemerkt – bis jetzt.

    Der Aufsichtsausschuss des Repräsentantenhauses forderte am Montag offiziell Antworten von vier Bundesbehörden zum Tod und Verschwinden von mindestens elf amerikanischen Wissenschaftlern und Forschern mit Verbindungen zur NASA, zur Nuklearforschung und zu geheimen Verteidigungsprogrammen – mehrere von ihnen stehen in direktem Zusammenhang mit den Weltraumverteidigungstechnologien, die jetzt von SpaceX und Blue Origin kommerzialisiert werden.

    Der Ausschussvorsitzende James Comer (R-Ky.) und der Abgeordnete Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), der Vorsitzende des Unterausschusses für Wirtschaftswachstum, Energiepolitik und Regulierungsangelegenheiten, schickten Briefe an FBI-Direktor Kash Patel, Energieminister Chris Wright, Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth und NASA-Administrator Jared Isaacman und forderten Briefings auf Mitarbeiterebene bis spätestens 27. April.

    „Wenn die Berichte korrekt sind, könnten diese Todesfälle und Verschwindenlassen eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für die nationale Sicherheit der USA und für US-Personal mit Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Geheimnissen darstellen“, heißt es in den Briefen.

    1. Link without a paywall?

      Seems like GOP propaganda. Make a big stink about something that’s not actually happening so they have a seemingly valid reason to go HAM and invade someone they don’t like.

    2. MrHowardQuinn on

      I’m sure that the drunken halfwit y’all put in charge of the FBI will get right on it.

    3. If they put the same investigative resources into the disappearances of native women, I might be impressed.

      It’s the damned sophons. The Trisolarans have us right where they want us

      It’s just conspiracies. Scientists are also humans who are, just like anyone else, prone to accidents, mental health issues and simply bad things happening to them. 

    6. my money is on China 40%, Russia 20, Israel 20%, US Govt 10%, Rival Companies 10%.

    7. So the Nazi’s kidnapped them and took them to the moon. We knew about this decades ago. 🙂

    8. I’m sure leaving sensitive documents out in the open at mar a lago has nothing at all to do with this.

    9. Sneaky-Pete-365 on

      The freaking FBI??? Really??!!

      This is like allowing John Dillinger and his gang to audit a bank!

    10. CoolioMcCool on

      My vote is the 3 letter agencies are trying to get something really(morally) fucked up built, and people are dying because they dont want to be part of it but know too much.

    11. SinisterDirge on

      Maybe leave a trail of mini vodka bottles as a breadcrumb trail for the FBI to gather clues.

    12. Some of these are pretty fucking weird. The 2025 Brown University shooter who also killed a plasma physicist has been memory holed pretty hard, for example, but the circumstances are very weird.

    13. AmbitiousReaction168 on

      I’ve seen a documentary about the people who went missing. I fail to see any solid link between them. A bunch of random people missing a few month apart is not good statistics.

    14. This seems oddly like the set up for plot of The Wild Wild West but with nuclear and space scientists instead of metallurgists and engineers.

    15. Hank_Scorpios_Beard on

      Don’t worry Ka$h Money is on the case as soon as he finds Nancy Guthrie.

    16. chilledStudios on

      Something sinister always gets clicks, but this feels like a case where correlation is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    17. TheBatemanFlex on

      This is peak tinfoil hat. Why are we even entertaining this distraction?

      Generally if republicans are insistant on getting to the bottom of something, they know there is nothing to find.

    18. I know a couple of these were confirmed by the families to not be all that suspicious (I think even the daughter of one of the scientists said her dad worked on asteroid deflection nothing that would be of much value to foreign interests) but some families have also said these deaths have come under suspicious circumstances.

      It warrants investigation but it might just be truly coincidences strung together as scientists like any other profession are humans who can die

    19. Koolaidguy31415 on

      If you think that anyone that’s a step or two removed from NASA dying is an anomaly then you have an opportunity for thousands and thousands of hits!

      „Mysterious patterns“ of deaths among poorly defined large groups of people almost always turns out to be meaningless anomaly hunting.  

    20. thealexanderpach on

      Feels like a bunch of unrelated cases getting bundled together, but yeah still worth a serious investigation.

    21. Wait until kash realizes these aren’t just happy hour specials (spaceX, blue origin, NASA).

    22. showmeurmeemz on

      Hmm might this relate to boxes of classified documents held at Mar a Lago once upon a time?

    23. johnnyribcage on

      Hey “answers in the next week and a half.” Usually it’s “two weeks.” Expediting I see! I presume they’ll announce the findings soon after the ACA replacement and when Infrastructure Week wraps up.

    24. Right smack in the middle of Kash Patel’s public meltdown, they’re going to put a huge spotlight on a major failing of his.

      If this dude is still FBI boss after a week from now, I will be shocked.

    25. throwawayhbgtop81 on

      Remember the microbiologists in 2001-2002?

      This feels like that, someone found a pattern in something that isn’t actually real.

    26. Intelligent_Bag_6705 on

      I’m sooooo glad the FBI is on the case, we should have an answer any day now.

    27. HistoryAndScience on

      I mean, yes. This may not be sinister but it’s also odd that so many of these middle aged or fit scientists are disappearing or dying suddenly in the last 4 years. It could be a coincidence or it could be a foreign actor, terrorist org, or some unknown group.

    28. WarningGipsyDanger on

      Another Sandia lab employee with Nuclear ties died last week… just saying. ☕️

    29. I think the Artemis 2 is somehow involved… what if we needed to travel to the dark side of the moon, not to take pictures of the moon, but of something else in space. Something that could be seen better in the shadow of the moon?? 😁 just saying… ( had to edit, kept misspelling the name Artemis lol)

    30. Didnt one lady go missing from like 30 feet behind two friends on a hiking trail? Friends who heard and saw nothing? So either the most stealth animal on the planet got the jump on this woman without it or her making a sound, she was beamed to the mothership, or special forces type guys snatched her up. The third one makes the most sense given all the other missing and dead scientists

    31. Shot-Calendar-5266 on

      So nearly 12 people related to three extremely large organizations died in last 4 years and we’re concerned about this why?

    32. I watched something showing theres a link when it was at like 5 people, why are people saying no links between them?
