¿Patrón O Azar? Las Muertes Y Desapariciones De Científicos Con Acceso A Secretos De Estado En Ee.Uu. Análisis Histórico-Contextual: 1947–2026
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article systematically documents and analyzes the deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists, engineers, and military personnel with classified access in nuclear, aerospace, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP/FANI) research, recorded between 2022 and 2026. The phenomenon is historically contextualized from 1947, examining precedents in Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, as well as individual cases documented between 1947 and 2016.
The active FBI investigation, confirmed on April 21, 2026, encompasses at least twelve cases. A key analytical finding is the direct, documented professional link between two of the missing: JPL/NASA materials engineer Monica Reza — inventor of the Mondaloy superalloy used in reusable military and commercial rockets — and retired General William Neil McCasland, who oversaw the Air Force program that funded Reza’s research. This connection was formally acknowledged in the House Oversight Committee’s letter to federal agencies.
From a statistical perspective, analysis published in Scientific American indicates that, given approximately 70,000 people employed in nuclear-related fields, roughly 50 disappearances per year would be statistically expected within that population. This suggests the observed cluster may fall within the expected statistical range, although the professional seniority and security profiles of those involved justify continued institutional investigation.
