In this foundational first episode of my new 7-part investigative series, I break down the growing pattern of dead and missing scientists from 2022–2026 — who they were, what they were working on, when they vanished, and why the timing matters.This isn’t just a list of names. It’s a forensic timeline.We examine how these disappearances overlap with major political events, including:• The 2023 Congressional UAP hearings• SpaceX and Blue Origin receiving billions in contracts during 2024–2025• Advanced programs built downstream of research tied to individuals now dead or missing• Donald Trump and renewed UAP declassification pushes• The death of General McCaskill just eight days later• The reported disappearance of 3.8 billion files from The Black Vault hours after the announcementMost importantly, I break down each scientist individually:What they specialized in, the circumstances around their disappearance or death, and the bigger pattern hiding in plain sight.If top minds in aerospace, defence, physics, and strategic research keep vanishing… the real question is not if there’s a pattern. It’s who benefits from it.This is Part 1.Part 2 drops Monday: the eerie parallels between The 3 Body Problem and what may be unfolding right now.
