[whimsical music] As a general rule, you need a minimum of three examples or data points of something before you could call it a pattern.
And the pattern in this episode is that people connected to the defense industry, space program, alternative technology studies, and even UFO research are going missing or being found dead, and nobody seems able to stop it.
The story blew wide open in this very year, right up to date on this one, 2026, unless you're listening in the future, in which case we were up to date when we made this episode, and we're not up to date because you're in the future and that's impossible.
And while the pattern started around 2022, it's possible to trace it back even further, with some people referencing a similar phenomenon in 1977.
There are at least 11 people tied to the deaths and disappearances, with some putting the number at 17 or even higher than that.
So do these scientists know something we don't? I mean, probably, they're scientists.
Are they being targeted for this knowledge? Well, the scientific community became alarmed, international headlines were made, and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer called the growing number of missing or dead scientists a national security threat.
The FBI began an investigation in April 2026, and the internet has been ablaze with speculation.
So let's look into some of the examples linked to the theory that people are being silenced for what they know.
There's some House Oversight Committee, which sounds really important, but I don't really know what it is.
