Missing Maj. Gen. William McCasland: Ongoing Albuquerque Search Amid Aerospace Legacy and UFO Conspiracy Theories

To the point

A high-ranking aerospace veteran, Maj. Gen. William “Neil” McCasland, 68, has been missing since February 27 in Albuquerque, with authorities urgently investigating after key items were left at home and clothing later tied to him surfaced 200 miles away, while his wife Susan Wilkerson urges caution about misinformation and confirms his mental sharpness and prior UFO‑community links; the case has spurred unverified theories about aliens and To The Stars, though officials warn against premature motives, as hundreds of tips, security footage checks, and searches with dogs, drones, helicopters, and ground teams continue in rugged terrain, amid a potential but unconfirmed connection to a 2025 aerospace engineer disappearance and with coordination between local law enforcement and the Air Force.
