Timestamp to skip to the case: (6:33)

Maj. Gen. William ‘Neil’ McCasland (68) had a very documented career within the US government. He headed up space weapons programs and served as head of research at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. That facility is rumored to house extraterrestrial debris from a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.

On February 27, 2026, Neil was seen by his wife and a tradesperson at their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His wife left for an appointment, and when she returned one hour later, Neil had vanished.

An extensive search has been carried out for Neil, to no avail. According to authorities, Neil’s gun and a backpack were also missing from his home.

Due to his career history, this case has captured the attention of conspiracy theorists online. Adding to the mystery, Monica Reza, a former colleague of Neil's, went missing during a hike in June 2025 and has never been found.
