‘Pretty serious stuff’: Trump names Biden and hints at foreign players in the missing US nuclear and military scientists case; 11th name linked to the list

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday, April 16, that his administration expects to soon address questions surrounding a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances involving US scientists and individuals connected to nuclear and military technology.

The remarks come as public attention intensifies following reports about an 11th person whose death has been linked by media outlets to the broader pattern. Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn before departing for Las Vegas, Trump said the administration is actively reviewing the matter of missing US scientists.

“I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump told reporters, noting he had just left a meeting on the subject. “Pretty serious stuff … hopefully a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it.”



Trump’s comments refer to growing speculation surrounding 11 individuals, including scientists, a retired Air Force general, and a government contractor responsible for supplying equipment related to the military's nuclear weapons, who have either died or disappeared over the past three years.

Foreign hands behind missing scientists? Trump blames Biden

Some even speculated without any evidence that these disappearances of US scientists and deaths are somehow related to foreign hands and Trump dragged his predecessor's name into it.


A reporter asked if any foreign adversary could be behind the disappearances. Trump objurgated, “Well, Biden had open borders; it wasn’t very hard to get here,” quoted the New York Post.

No official evidence of connecting these deaths and disappearances

Theories linking the cases have circulated online, but there is no official or known evidence connecting the deaths and disappearances. Despite this, public interest has surged following media coverage of an additional case that some believe fits the pattern.

The 11th individual reportedly died four years ago and was said to be working on anti-gravity technology, prompting renewed speculation about potential links to classified US programs.

Missing US scientist list inks 11th case: Amy Eskridge

Amy Eskridge was 34 years old when she allegedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022. However, neither police nor medical examiners have publicly released details of any investigation, as reported by Daily Mail.

Before her death, Eskridge had been openly researching anti-gravity technology, a theoretical concept many scientists believe impossible, that focused on controlling or canceling gravity.

Anti-gravity propulsion has also been widely discussed by UFO researchers, who claim such technology could allow spacecraft to reach extraordinary speeds. These theories, though unverified, have contributed to speculation surrounding the broader group of deaths and disappearances.

Other high-profile disappearances

Among the missing researchers and individuals, the disappearance of Air Force Gen. William McCasland, who retired in 2013, was considered one of the most high-profile. McCasland, who has been missing since February, was responsible for billions of dollars of military equipment and has been alleged to have connections to UFO-related work. However, his wife declined these claims.

Despite the growing theories, authorities have not confirmed any connection between the cases. Trump’s comments also come after press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that she hasn't spoken to relevant agencies regarding this.
