A series of scientists and one general disappeared from the U.S.

“The 10 Scientists Who Vanished or Died from 2023-2026: (Top L-R) Steven Garcia, William McCasland, Anthony Chavez, Melissa Casias, Monica Reza, (Bottom L-R) Nuno Loureiro, Carl Grillmair, Michael Hicks, Frank Maiwald, Jason Thomas. “(https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/white-house-investigates-scientist-deaths-disappearances-1792020)

Retired Major General William Neil McCasland, 68, left his Albuquerque home on foot at approximately 11 a.m. February 27 and has not been in contact with family or friends since, the sheriff’s office said in a news release on March 6. He disappeared on February 27,2026. The position of that person was interesting. He was the head of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base research laboratory." (https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/11/us/retired-air-force-general-fbi-search)

And he oversaw many secretive military projects. And this is why his disappearance is a risk for national security. Sometimes this case is reported as “UFO general disappearance case”. Another interesting thing is this. Another nine scientists who worked in classified projects have disappeared or died since 2023. Those people worked on. Space material research. And other kinds of research projects. Like nuclear weapon research. There is a list of those cases in the attachments. The thing. What makes those cases interesting is that. They had a connection with McCasland. 

So, does the disappearance of McCasland. And those scientists have some connection? And what is that connection? I think. That many people who worked on the military projects knew McCasland. And then we can say. It's a very low probability that those deaths and disappearances are coincidences. The work that people like Monica Reza, who worked with spacecraft materials, did. It can also connect to high-speed hypersonic aircraft. 

Monica Reza worked with a superalloy that should withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. “Monica Reza went missing on the morning of June 22, 2025, in the Angeles National Forest while hiking with two experienced companions who were exploring the popular Mount Waterman Trail, according to a Facebook page dedicated to finding her.” (NY Post). The fact is that. There are many coincidences. And those cases should be solved. The sources, like Newsweek, connected McCasland with the UFO community. So we should ask, are those disappearances some kind of abductions? And is there something that people should not know?

A Chinese portable electromagnetic gun can be far more dangerous than anyone expected.

To be dangerous, the railgun must not reach hypersonic speed. The speed of a normal bullet is enough to make those systems dangerous. The railgun can be connected with the automatic launch system, which takes an image of the target. It measures the air pressure, wind, target’s distance, precise position, and speed. And then. The operator aims the gun, and the system shoots the ammunition automatically. The system. It can also use intelligent bullets that the laser point aims to target. 

The system takes an image of the target. And then the system transfers it in the bullet, which uses its wings to drive it into the target. This allows the shooter to shoot precisely behind visual obstacles. The railgun system can also shoot small drone helicopters that fly over enemy heads. And then those mini copters can shoot those targets by using bullets inside them. The system would be. A little bit like the CBU-97 Sensor Fused Weapon, but smaller. The 20-40 mm version of this system is possible. To shoot through the portable railgun or grenade launcher.

Portable railguns reach a very high rate of fire. That means that the system can act as a portable version of the minigun. But the electromagnetic launching system makes it more flexible than regular guns. And another thing is that those electromagnetic weapons are not jammed in the same way as normal guns. The EM gun doesn’t need gunpowder, and that’s why it can act in very wet conditions. The main problem. With those guns is the battery system. Those batteries are heavy. They are as easy to change as the magazine of the gun. The system doesn’t cause flash in the dark. To be dangerous, the gun must not send ammunition. 

CBU-97 Sensor Fused Weapon’s tactical diagram. The small-sized man-portable version of this weapon. It is maybe under development. 

With hypersonic speed. The system can adjust the speed of ammunition from high subsonic to high supersonic. The speed of 9 mm. A Parabellum bullet is enough to kill a person. The small-sized EM guns don’t cause explosive alarms. The system can accelerate ammunition by using an electric arc. And then Gauss's track accelerates the ammunition. This kind of system can shoot 1000-3000 rounds per minute. 

The small railguns can be mounted on the drones. And the lack of recoil makes them suitable for small drones. Small drones. They  can be equipped with centrifugal cannons. Centrifugal cannon. It is just a spinning plate. The problem is that. The muzzle velocity of centrifugal cannons is not as high as that of magnetic cannons. 

The system that includes both systems. Centrifugal and magnetic accelerators can give far higher muzzle velocity and rate of fire than centrifugal cannon or magnetic cannon alone. 

The rate of fire could rise far higher if Gauss’s track is connected to a centrifugal cannon. The centrifugal cannon is a spinning plate that can guide those rounds to Gauss’s track. The system can drop metal balls onto the spinning plate. And then the hole in the frame lets those metal balls travel into the magnetic accelerator.

The U.S. military lost two aircraft in Iran.

“A U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle assigned to the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron lands at a base in the Middle East, Jan. 18, 2026. U.S. Air Force/courtesy photo U.S. Central Command Public Affairs” (TWZ, F-15E Down In Iran, Rescue Operation Ongoing (Updated))

At the beginning of the war. The U.S. AF lost three F-15Es because of friendly fire. The Kuwaiti F/A-18 pilot  thought those planes were hostile. And open fire. The USAF also lost one E-3 Sentry AEW because of an Iranian missile strike. 

Now. The U.S. military lost two aircraft in Iran. The F-15E went down because of unknown circumstances. 

Those aircraft were not F-35. They were F-15E and A-10. Or the first one is shot down. And another aircraft was probably shot down. There is also a possibility that the F-35 was damaged by Iranian fire. This means that Iran is still dangerous. The F-15E is an older plane, but it's possible that AA flak hits the aircraft accidentally. And if the AA can shoot down the F-35, the Iranian government can give that aircraft to Moscow or Beijing. And that thing has an effect. On the success of the F-35 aircraft in all countries. Which are using the F-35. The Iranian conflict is always a risk. And the pilots can have important information. So. This is the reason why the U.S. Air Force sends HC-130J “Combat King” special rescue aircraft deep. Inside the Iranian airspace. Those special mission aircraft have versatile sensor equipment. And self-defense systems that allow them to operate deep inside enemy airspace. 

The case that the F-15 was shot down suggests that the Pentagon might have a problem. Responding to the newest missiles and jet fighters with other than F-35 aircraft. The problem is that. The F-15 is a very good plane. But. That plane base is in the systems that first flew almost 50 years ago.  If the F-35 falls into the hands of hostile nations, they can create a radar system that can break the stealth technology used in that aircraft. There is always a risk that the aircraft will be lost. There is a possibility that Iran has half of its missile launchers and drones. Those long-range missiles are also a threat to Europe.

(Larry MacDougal via AP)Read Less” (Newsweek,Second US Combat Plane Crashes Near Hormuz After Iran Shootdown: Report)

And those Shahed-drones are also shot at Cyprus. This means that Iran is a very dangerous enemy. There is suspicion that those drones and missiles are under the control of the Republican Guards. And that makes those systems more dangerous. The problem is that Iran knows that if it can raise the price of the oil, it can try to force Trump to stop that operation. So, it's possible that the Iranian government aims drone strikes at the oil terminals on the opposite shore of the Gulf. That makes it possible to cut the oil and LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) delivery from the Gulf Harbors. Another thing is this. There is always a possibility that the missile or drone hits another important aircraft. The U.S. lost the E-3 “Sentry” airborne early warning aircraft. 

The problem is that those AEW aircraft are not manufactured. Anymore. And those systems are the tools that play a vital role in the early warning systems that warn about drone attacks. The Hormuz Strait is another problem. Iran uses so-called “dum” contact  mines. The horn mines detonate because of the impact. There is no way to deny those things from working. Even if those systems. Using technology from the 19th century. Those mines can detonate a hole in the hull of the most modern warships. If an aircraft carrier sails into a mine, that causes damage to its hull. And another thing. The horn miner can cause. It is fatal damage to the submarine's body. The horn mine doesn’t have technology at all. The ship presses the battery or acid against the explosive. That detonates the mine. The only thing that can sweep those mines is minesweepers. 

The minesweeper can use a robot that cuts the mine’s wire, and then the mine. It can be detonated using machine cannons. There is a possibility. The Littoral Combat ships can take the robot mine sweeping tools onboard and then sail to Hormuz. But before that, the U.S military must use its Avenger-class minesweepers to secure the Hormuz. Even the best minesweeping tools are ineffective if they lie on the other side of the harbour on Earth.
