On June 11th, 2022, Amy Eskridge, a 34‑year‑old scientist working on anti‑gravity technology, was found dead in Huntsville, Alabama, from a single gunshot wound to the head.
- Amy Eskridge, a plasma physicist who studied anti‑gravity tech, texted "I did not kill myself" a month before her death in 2022 – a warning that now fuels the mystery.
- She claimed directed energy attacks, including burn marks on her hands and an "RF k‑band emitter" powered by five car batteries inside an SUV.
- Her family rejects conspiracy theories, insisting she suffered from chronic pain and that her suicide ruling is accurate.
- The FBI is now investigating 11 scientist deaths – and Eskridge's case is being treated as part of that wider pattern.

At the time, the authorities ruled her death a suicide, but a text she sent to business partner Samuel Reed a month before has increased speculation that there could well be other factors at play.
Dated May 13th, 2022, the message reads: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not.”
She also warned in the texts: “If anything happens to me – suicide or an accident – it wasn’t, it’s suspicious, treat it as such.”
Who was Eskridge?
Significant for co-founding the Institute for Exotic Science in Huntsville, Eskridge was a plasma physicist who specialized in aerospace and military research.
However, in the years before and after her death, there is a stream of evidence, such as the text message conversations, along with various interviews, which point to mental instability.
Conspiracy theories point to the fact that Eskridge could have been embroiled in something larger, perhaps even an institutional silencing.
In a 2020 podcast with Jeremy Rys, she warned that going public with her research could be dangerous:
If you stick your neck out in private... they will bury you, they will burn down your house while you're sleeping in your bed, and it won't even make the news. That's why the institute exists.
She believed her work could help force the disclosure of secret anti‑gravity technology, and she told friends she was on the verge of a major breakthrough before she died.
“Burned to hell and back”
Eskridge’s friend, former British intelligence officer Franc Milburn, says she claimed to be targeted by a “directed energy weapon” that left burn marks and lesions on her hands.
In fact, a recent video has been unearthed, showing Eskridge stating her “hands have been burned to hell and back.”

She shared photos of the injuries and said a colleague with weapons experience identified the device as an “RF k‑band emitter,” powered by five car batteries inside an SUV.
Congressman Eric Burlison has stated publicly that there is “SIGNIFICANT evidence Amy Eskridge was targeted by a Directed Energy Weapon” using microwave energy.
And with Burlison being left, right, and center in UFO disclosure recently, his comments have escalated the tension even further.
Other commentators have linked her case to “Havana Syndrome,” the unexplained health incidents reported by intelligence officers, suggesting a pattern of non‑lethal harassment against sensitive researchers.

A rejection of a cover-up
The Madison County Coroner officially ruled Eskridge’s death a suicide by a self‑inflicted gunshot wound, and local police closed the case without further investigation.
Her family has consistently rejected conspiracy theories, describing her as a “marvelously intelligent person” who suffered from chronic pain.
Her father, Richard Eskridge, previously a NASA scientist himself, dismissed the speculation, saying simply: “Scientists die also, just like other people.”
The family has urged the public not to read too much into the circumstances, insisting that the official ruling is accurate and that no foul play was involved.
Eskridge’s name has resurfaced because the FBI and Congress are now investigating the deaths and disappearances of at least 11 scientists since 2022, many linked to nuclear, aerospace, or UFO‑related research.
Her chilling final text has become a rallying point for those who suspect a coordinated cover‑up, and she is often listed as the “eleventh” mysterious death.
No official link has been confirmed, but the timing of the federal probe and the resurfacing of Eskridge’s warnings have turned her story into a key piece of the “mysterious scientist deaths” phenomenon gripping the internet.
