Disappearance of Former Air Force Major General William N. McCasland Triggers FBI-Led Search Amid UAP Ties
To the point
William Neil McCasland, a former U.S. Air Force major general who led sensitive science programs and was linked to UAP work, disappeared from his Albuquerque home on February 27, a Silver Alert was issued because he left without his phone or glasses and a gray Air Force sweatshirt was found about 1.25 miles away, the FBI is coordinating with local authorities to canvas neighborhoods and review footage for tips with no foul play suspected, Rep. Eric Burlison calling the case disturbing due to his UAP connections and WikiLeaks mentions, his wife Susan McCasland Wilkerson downplaying any special extraterrestrial knowledge while noting there is no sign of him, and the episode fueling congressional interest in UAPs after a 2023 hearing with searches possibly widening near the sweatshirt site and the multiagency effort continuing.
