A retired US general who previously oversaw a UFO research project has mysteriously disappeared.


Retired US Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland, 68, formerly the head of a research laboratory studying unidentified flying objects, left his home on February 27 and has not returned.



It is reported by the American television channel CNN.

Thus, a retired US general, who previously oversaw a UFO research project, mysteriously disappeared. When he left his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he forgot his phone. He hasn't contacted his family since. The Bernadillo County Sheriff appealed to local residents for help in finding the missing general. He issued a missing person's notice the day after his disappearance. Nearly 600 local homeowners were interviewed and a thorough search was conducted, but these efforts yielded no results.

As the sheriff noted, the retired military man did not suffer from dementia and was in excellent physical shape, regularly exercising.

McCasland previously commanded a military base suspected of being involved in unidentified flying objects. However, since he retired long ago and worked with ufologists as a private citizen, his value as a bearer of state secrets is highly questionable.

General's wife Susan said about this:

It's true that Neil had some ties to the UFO community. This connection is not a reason for someone to abduct Neil.

Despite these assurances, FBI agents joined the search for the missing former high-ranking military officer.

      No, no, aliens haven't been visiting the planet since the 60s – they're afraid. But the reptilians, they could. They'd probably torture you and then eat you.

      You're completely clueless! He can't be from Alpha Centauri; he doesn't have a meter-long tail and horns! He's most likely from Epsilon Tucanae. But there won't be any scheduled flights from there for another five years; check the schedule! wassat

        Most likely he is from Epsilon Tucanae.
        Or Betelgeuse. wink
        Sometimes he would be overcome by melancholy and absentmindedness: he would raise his gaze to the sky and stand there, as if hypnotized, until someone inquired as to what he was doing. Then the Prefect would sheepishly joke, "Just looking for a flying saucer!" Everyone would laugh and ask what kind of flying saucer he was looking for. "A green one!" he would declare with a wry grin, burst into wild laughter, and generously buy everyone drinks at the nearest bar.

        Evenings like these usually ended badly. Ford would get drunk on whiskey until he squealed, drag some girl into a corner, and slur his words, explaining to her that the color of the flying saucer—really!—wasn't crucial. Then, hobbling through the night streets with his last strength, he'd pester the police, asking for directions to Betelgeuse.
        The police responded something like this:

        — Isn't it time for you to go home, sir?

        “That’s what I’m trying to do,” Ford always replied.

        In reality, as he gazed detachedly into the sky, he was looking not for any particular flying saucer, but for any flying saucer. Green was simply the traditional color of Betelgeuse's scouts.

          “And I have always believed that UFOs are red by definition.
          - Red is from Mars. And the green one is from Venus.
          - No, red is not from our galaxy.
          - But I guessed. Somehow it does not come right into the landing. Not our way.

              A single teleportation between two planetary systems drains two stars of energy. If there's a less energy-intensive method, let me know—we'll definitely consider it! wink

                    Even four, the galaxy is big, there are enough stars, the main thing is to make a profit and get regular kickbacks. Overall, a tunnel is a useful thing. Two ends, and light shines in both. You can go through it from here to there and from there to there. You can pay for it, or for nothing at all. So, for a good shovel, five stars isn't a shame, especially if the stars are XO or VSOP. smile

    On February 27, he left the house and has not returned since.

    As soon as negative information appears in the media, for example, that the Persians are defeated, but they are still breaking everything and everyone, or that the US is having problems with fuel and fertilizer prices... topics about UFOs are sure to appear. laughing Do the Americans have anything else "mysterious"? laughing

      Saturn's orbit is closed to UFOs. It has rings, and UFOs can break them! You have to understand! laughing
      I personally saw a UFO... but I can’t say what it was.
      In '87, while serving in the Soviet Armed Forces, I was sent on a mission to a separate helicopter regiment supporting the Strategic Missile Forces. For a month. I spent almost a quarter there, but that's not the point... All the facilities were undergoing major repairs, we were sleeping in tents near the runway. And the pilots deigned to conduct night flights... We were snoozing, and then there was a roar. We crawled out of the tent, and a flying saucer was approaching us. It was approaching so slowly... At first, it was shocking. Holy cow, there it was, a UFO!
      Mi-8. The tail light isn't visible, but the main rotor light, mounted on top, illuminates only the blades. It's as if the helicopter itself isn't there, just a "flying saucer" above it. Indescribably beautiful! wink

        Mi-8. The flashing light on the tail is not visible, but on the main rotor,

        My ball was about a meter in diameter... a height of about a hundred or two hundred meters... no sound, no flashing lights, no MI-8... it was flying against the wind, with a barely noticeable wave-like movement... strictly to the southeast. smile
        Then I came across a description of the same object in the media...our civilian pilots in the Chita area saw something similar.
        By the way, these balls regularly appear in reports in foreign media... according to the description, they are the same. what
        This is some kind of devilry...as if someone is surveying the surface of the Earth using aerial instruments.
        There are a lot of questions.

          2.
          flew against the wind, with a barely noticeable wave-like movement... strictly to the southeast.

          Another possibility: a probe. A meteorological one. Well, the kind the Americans destroyed with great difficulty; they had to lift a Raptor; none of their other craft could reach it. It could be alien, of course. But a meteorological one! (Another possibility, an American one, is that it was a Chinese weather balloon. Why was it flying against the wind? The Chinese don't even have letters, just hieroglyphs. That's why it was flying against the wind!) wink
          There are truly many questions. We don't know our planet, not at all. We don't know it at all. Ships sail the seas and oceans, but if you go just a kilometer lower, there are nothing but mysteries. We plow the land, grow grain, turnips, but what's underground—we don't even know. Subways and mines don't count. They know where we're going underground, and they manage to clear the space... And take a simple ant, for example. How the hell do they live like that? We don't even know that. hi

    The Yankees have it all figured out: they need to start a war—they open the "Epstein folder" or "Powell's test tube"; to distract from domestic problems, they send an intern to the BD; if that doesn't work, they "send" a fairy tale about a UFO...; they want to end the war—they just need to loudly announce victory...

    The yellowing started creeping up on his forehead. But who knows what could have happened to him, he's still at his age.

    In Russia, about 28 thousand people went missing last year, which were not found. and in total, about 200 thousand missing persons reports were received.

    In 2005, Major General E.Ya. Lebedev, the former head of the Kostroma Chemical Defense School, went into the forest near the test site to pick mushrooms and disappeared without a trace. All the surrounding woods were combed, and divers examined all bodies of water—no trace of him. A more extensive search was then conducted, but it too was inconclusive.

    It's always like that with Americans. One was washing windows on the 21st floor and fell, the second crashed in the desert and they searched for him for two months, the third fell asleep in a bowl of soup and drowned. They're all handsome men, athletes, but they die in strange ways, especially when the dates of death coincide, like when a Russian missile hit the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters.

    It's impossible...the Chinese probe was at an altitude of 20 km...and it was the size of a bus.
    Here, many small similar balls fly around the planet and practically nothing is known about them... absolutely nothing... except that they fly. request
    How so ???
    Why aren't they detected by numerous radars...why aren't they seen by amateur and professional astronomers?
    Why don't the intelligence services of various countries advertise them???

    Most of these disappearances are criminal or natural in nature... human remains are found many years later in the most bizarre places.
    There was a case... a man suddenly wanted a drink... ran to the store and disappeared... they found him a few years later in the same store... somehow managed to get into the gap between a stationary refrigerator and the wall... suffocated... his body mummified.
    We found it by accident... when we started repairing the ventilation in the store... it was a real pain... how could it be? request
