A nuclear physicist and MIT professor fatally shot outside his Massachusetts residence. A retired Air Force general missing from his New Mexico home. An aerospace engineer who disappeared during a hike in Los Angeles.

These are among at least 10 individuals connected to sensitive US nuclear and aerospace research who have died or disappeared in recent years, prompting concerns whether they are connected and fueling speculation online about the possibility of nefarious activity.

Every one of these posts has someone or multiple people insisting there's nothing to it and everything is fine... that in itself is a little suspect

Let them investigate if there's nothing to it, then they will find nothing. Until then people need to stop pretending they already know everything and spouting off about it

Thanks a lot, you've ruined my cover of being an undercover operative attempting to shield the public from an alien plot to halt the scientific progression of the United States.
