Shocking new details have emerged about the disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, 68, linked to secrets about UFOs and a series of missing or dead scientists in the US.
A 911 call has been released, showing the conversation between a police dispatcher and the general's wife, Susan Wilkerson, who said she suspected her husband "had planned not to be found" after finding his phone and other personal belongings left at their New Mexico home.
"He left his phone, changed clothes… I don't know what. I think he's walking. All our cars and bikes are in the garage," Wilkerson said about three hours after McCasland disappeared.
"He turned it off and left it behind, which seems to have been intentional, because he always has his phone and he has a smartwatch. I don't know if he has it with him or not," she added.
Although Wilkerson later said she did not suspect “criminal activity,” she noted that the general had left the house with only a pair of boots and a .38 revolver. McCasland did not take any other personal belongings or prescription glasses, leaving no way to track or contact him.
Wilkerson also said that her husband was being treated by a doctor for physical and mental health problems before his disappearance. She said he had suffered from anxiety and short-term memory loss, as well as insomnia. The general even expressed concern that his brain was being "punished."
In the 911 call, Wilkerson confirmed that McCasland had a gun safe at home with several pistols and rifles, but she was unaware that a gun had been taken. She also stressed that she thought her husband had no serious plans to end his life.
The Bernalillo Sheriff's Office issued a Silver Alert for McCasland, a common alert for finding a missing senior, usually with Alzheimer's, dementia or other mental disorders. However, there have been no developments since his disappearance near Quail Run Court NE in Albuquerque around 11 a.m.
McCasland's disappearance is not isolated — since mid-2025, three other people associated with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory (LANL) have similarly disappeared. This includes NASA engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, and two LANL employees, Anthony Chavez and Melissa Casias.
Chris Swecker, a former deputy director of the FBI, told the Daily Mail that the disappearances should be investigated as being linked to each other, including the possibility of espionage by hostile foreign services. He warned that scientists working on advanced technology, such as missile systems and nuclear programs, could be targets of such interference.
According to experts and former government scientists, McCasland was a key figure in the US's secret research into UFOs and extraterrestrial technology. He commanded AFRL at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a base linked to UFO conspiracy theories, and had previously served at Kirtland Air Force Base near the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory.
His disappearance remains a significant mystery and has raised concerns about the safety of scientists and US government secrets. /GazetaExpress/
