This week, the Cosmic Report looks into the disappearance of UFO expert William Neil McCasland, who has gone missing in New Mexico and whose past work links him to UFO research.

Former USAF Major General William Neil McCasland, 68, disappeared on February 27th in New Mexico. He was last seen in the Bernalillo County area, with no sightings reported since that date.

In 2016, Major General Neil McCasland was referenced in an email exchange between musician Tom DeLonge and former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta regarding UFOs.

While he’s not currently actively working on UAP programs, his prior involvement adds public intrigue and speculation to his disappearance.

McCasland formerly led the Air Force Research Laboratory and was Director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. He had top-level clearance and handled some of the most sensitive US military and intelligence projects, heightening concern over his disappearance.

The ex-General is known for his rigorous fitness and outdoor activities, including trail running and cycling.

A disappearance that raises many questions

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart describes him as extremely fit and mentally sharp. On his NewsNation podcast Reality Check, Coulthart declared “the timing is screechingly relevant,” particularly as “this is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head.”

The disappearance of someone with McCasland’s background sparks concern over national security and potential exposure to sensitive information. With Coulthart calling it “a grave national security crisis.”

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office has requested home security footage from some 600+ New Mexico residents. They hope to track his movements and gather clues from neighborhood cameras or dashcams.

Authorities say the alert may be precautionary due to prescribed medication needs rather than immediate danger.

Many online are speculating on possible foul play or secret government involvement, highlighting the UFO connection.
