MISSING U.S. GENERAL LINKED TO UFO RESEARCH GOES MISSING

Of all the stories I sorted through this past Sunday, I decided, after many minutes of deliberation over this (and even a short walk outside with Shiloh) or the Tucker Carlson story which will appear in tomorrow's "Honourable Mentions" review, to blog about this one because something does not pass the "odor test" here. Many of you sent this story, so thanks to all of you who did so. I will be using the following two versions in this blog, the first shared by S.D.G., and the second by L.S.:

Who is William Neil McCasland? Ex-US general linked to UFO research missing

As the first article makes clear, the disappearance of Maj. Gen.(USAF, Ret.) William McCasland follows mere days after the brutal murder of California astronomer and astrophysicist Carl Grilmair was discovered shot to death at his remote home. I've already blogged about this strange murder and my suspicion that we're not being told anywhere near the full story about the murder. For one thing, as the first article makes clear by including an overhead picture of Dr. Grilmair's home, his home was very isolated and remote, and this raises questions about how the murder was discovered, and by whom it was reported. Such a remote location raises questions, particularly about the alleged suspect and his possible motives. Dr. Grilmair was noted for being the first astronomer to have discovered water on a planet outside of this solar system.

Which brings us to Maj. General McCasland. According to the second article, General McCasland was intimately involved in all sorts of UFO-related research oversight for the US Air Force> Firstly, one notes that General McCasland apparently simply wandered away from his New Mexico home, and is apparently dealing with unspecified medical issues:

McCasland was last seen on February 27, 2026, at approximately 11 a.m. in the area of Quail Run Court NE, Albuquerque. According to the alert, McCasland’s direction of travel is unknown and deputies have not yet determined what clothing he may have been wearing when he disappeared. Because he is dealing with unspecified medical issues, BCSO says officers are increasingly worried for his safety and are urging residents to stay alert and report any potential sightings.

McCasland is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with blue eyes and white hair. While investigators continue to canvas the surrounding neighborhoods and review available information, they emphasize that community assistance is critical in cases like this—particularly when the missing individual may be confused, disoriented, or unable to seek help independently.

While the article does not explicitly state that General McCasland is suffering from mental health issues, the second paragraph clearly implies that he is, and this fact alone bakes him a security risk for the very simple reason that a kidnapper with the requisite medical knowledge might be able to get the general to disclose information in his impaired state that he otherwise would never have disclosed, particularly if drugs were used to facilitate the "disclosure". This prospect becomes a serious possibility when one considers what General McCasland did during his active service:

McCasland held several high‑ranking and influential positions within the U.S. Air Force, particularly in science, technology, and space research. As commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base, he oversaw a $2.2 billion science and technology portfolio, along with an additional $2.2 billion in customer‑funded research and development.

His leadership extended to managing a global workforce of approximately 10,800 personnel, including the AFRL’s technology directorates, the 711th Human Performance Wing, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

Commissioned in 1979 after earning a Bachelor of Science in astronautical engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy, McCasland built a career spanning diverse roles in space research, acquisition, and operations within both the Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office. He served as commander of the Phillips Research Site at Kirtland Air Force Base and later became vice commander of both the Ogden Air Logistics Center and the Space and Missile Systems Center, positions central to Air Force logistics and space system development.(Italicized emphases added)

It goes without saying that Wright Patterson Airbase has long been associated in the alternative research community with exotic technologies and UFOs; it was the location for many of the postwar Nazi paperclip scientists; it was the base that headquartered the Air Force's various UFO related projects including Blue Book; it was even the air base where the crashed Kecksburg UFO was first allegedly moved (See my books Reich of the Black Sun, and The SS Brotherhood of the Bell). The National Reconnaissance Office is, of course, the agency handling and processing all of the USA's spy satellite data 9which would presumably include a lot of UFO material). And Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque is also a home of reputed UFO activity, including the infamous case of Paul, Bennewitz, alleged USAF intelligence officer Richard Doty, and the alleged "UFO communications" Bennewitz claimed he was intercepting. Whatever one makes of that case, it is intriguing to note that at the time it was occurring, Kirtland was also home to claims of invisibility experiments, and was also testing the first technologies phase conjugation to enable directed energy to propagate through the atmosphere with little diminishment of energy, a crucial step in the then "Star wars" Strategic Defense Initiative of President Ronald Reagan.

Summing all that together, General McCasland likely knows (or knew) a great deal of highly sensitive and secret material.

But there's more.
