McCasland Search: 600+ Homeowners Asked for Security Footage – No Sightings to Date

As the disappearance of retired Maj. Gen. William McCasland entered its 11th day, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office reported that investigators have contacted more than 600 homeowners in the neighborhood near McCasland’s residence to request security camera footage or information. A BCSO spokesperson told the New York Post: “To date, no sightings have been reported.” Dozens of tips have been received – none have yielded a confirmed sighting or led directly to his location – and the FBI continues to assist local authorities. Journalist Ross Coulthart, on his Reality Check podcast, called the case a “grave national security crisis,” noting McCasland’s access to highly sensitive information and his knowledge of what the U.S. government might be hiding regarding UAP. No official connection has been established between the disappearance and any UAP-related activity. NY Post · Full article · Case file

Eric Weinstein to Pentagon Scientist: ‘You Can’t Engineer Your Way Out of a Science Problem’

In a nearly four-hour episode of Jesse Michels’s American Alchemy podcast, mathematician Eric Weinstein sat across the table from astrophysicist Eric W. Davis – one of the few credentialed scientists who claims direct knowledge of a U.S. crash-retrieval program – and pressed him on a question no one in UFO disclosure has adequately answered: if the U.S. government really recovered craft that defy the laws of physics, why was there never a single theoretical physicist on the program?

Davis confirmed that none of David Grusch’s approximately 40 firsthand witnesses were physicists. He described asking a senior aerospace executive directly: “Where are your physicists?” The answer: “We don’t have any. We never did.” Weinstein called it internally absurd: “It’s like saying we’re having trouble performing Beethoven’s fifth, and we have the finest accountants, optometrists, boxers, and cardio trainers.”

Davis also made his clearest public statement on the Wilson-Davis memo – “They’re real. They’re legit. They’re 100% accurate” – and stated his conviction on Roswell at “100%,” specifying the crash occurred at the Foster Ranch in Corona, New Mexico. The Pentagon’s official position remains that no evidence of extraterrestrial technology or reverse-engineering programs has been found. Full article
