Podcasts about Los Alamos National Laboratory

One missing nuclear scientist. One remote forest. One abandoned gun. And somehow that's only HALF of this week's weirdness.First, we head deep into the mystery surrounding a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who vanished without a trace, only to be discovered a year later in a remote wilderness area. Was it a tragic accident, something more sinister, or the kind of story that immediately makes the internet start drawing red strings across a corkboard? We dive into the strange details, unanswered questions, and why anything involving nuclear research instantly sends conspiracy alarms into overdrive.Then it's time for the future to arrive swinging. Detroit recently hosted a real-life robot fight club where metal gladiators smashed, crashed, and battled for robotic supremacy. It's part sporting event, part science experiment, and part warning label for humanity's eventual machine overlords. From AI-powered combat to flying debris and mechanical mayhem, we're asking the important question: are we witnessing technological innovation or just giving robots practice before they take our parking spaces and our dignity?Missing scientists, battling robots, and enough bizarre headlines to make reality feel like it was written by a sleep-deprived sci-fi author. It's another trip into the wonderfully weird world of Hysteria 51.Links & Resources

Not being much on conspiracies it was easy to ignore the recent reports of many scientists, astronomers, astrophysicists those employed by or associated with the scientific community going missing or being murdered. As the number kept growing the mystery deepened. The number can no longer be ignored and the details have become more disturbing. One of the missing has been found with unusual circumstances. Melissa Casias was a long time employee of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Northern New Mexico. Did Melissa Casias decide to end her own life or are other entities involved? Hear Melissa's story here. If YOU know anything about what could have happened to Melissa please contact 1-800-CALLFBI *Thank you Tip-Ster Jerry Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If it was possible to have a coin with three sides, this might be it. We discuss the Discovery of the remains of an employee of Los Alamos National Laboratory, who had gone missing 11 months ago. She reportedly performed a factory reset on both her phones and walked out into the desert. Melissa Casias is one of at least 11 people who have disappeared or died with connections to sensitive government programs related to the UFO phenomenon. Investigators say there is nothing to indicate foul play, but we remain skeptical. Meanwhile, the archbishop of Washington, D.C. removed a priest as an exorcist for the archdiocese after Monsignor Stephen Rossetti posted a video to his Facebook page connecting demons to the UFO phenomenon. While we don't entirely agree with Monsignor Rossetti's understanding, he's not entirely wrong. We also discussed a call by the cofounder of Anthropic, the developers of Claude, AI, for a pause on development of artificial intelligence because of his concern that Large Language Models are on the verge of full recursive self-improvement, meaning artificial intelligence could soon escape any restraints placed on it by humans. In other words, AI is closer to achieving the singularity than we think. Finally, we discussed strange news reports from New York City of men in full protective gear, wearing night goggles, descending into the sewer system at night and re-emerging several hours later. Police don't know what they've been doing down there, but they say at this point there is no threat to public safety. Again, we remain skeptical. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

A newly released independent review of Los Alamos National Laboratory's 2025tritium venting raises serious concerns about radiation risks to children and infants andhighlights major gaps in LANL's public reporting and decision-making process. The review also questions LANL's decision to proceed with venting despite nomeasurable pressure buildup in the waste containers — meaning the explosion riskused to justify the releases may not have existed.

On Thursday, June 26, 2025, Melissa Shirley Casias — a 53-year-old mother, avid hunter, devoted reader, thyroid cancer survivor, and administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory — vanished from Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. She dropped lunch off to her daughter Sierra at 12:57 p.m. By 1:38 p.m., her phone had been wiped. By 2:18 p.m., a witness spotted someone who looked like her walking alone along Highway 518 Eastbound in Talpa. She has not been seen since.In this episode, Gina and Amber introduce you to Melissa — who she was, what her life looked like, and why the people who love her are certain she did not choose to disappear. They then walk through the events of June 26th in chronological order, covering her last confirmed movements, the first hours of the investigation, and the early signs that something about her husband Mark Casias's behavior wasn't adding up.

Join hosts Gina and Amber as they deep dive into this compelling case and unleash new and never before shared exclusive case updates.

With 14 U.S. scientists missing or dead—and the number growing—what is really going on? And it's not just happening here. Scientists around the world are vanishing under mysterious and often unexplained circumstances. Is this coincidence… or something much bigger?In this episode, we're diving deep down the rabbit hole to examine a disturbing pattern connecting some of the brightest minds in fields like nuclear science, aerospace engineering, plasma physics, and advanced propulsion. From sudden deaths ruled as suicides, to disappearances without a trace, to cases that never received proper investigation—there are far too many questions and not nearly enough answers.We start with plasma physicist Amy Eskridge, whose work in experimental propulsion and anti-gravity research was as groundbreaking as it was controversial. Before her death in 2022, Amy claimed she was being surveilled, targeted, and threatened—recording videos detailing what she believed were attacks using advanced technology. Her death was ruled a suicide, but her own words tell a much more unsettling story.From there, we explore a growing list of scientists and researchers—many tied to NASA, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and other high-level institutions—who have died suddenly or disappeared entirely. Some had no known health issues. Others left behind no evidence, no trace, no explanation. A few were on the verge of publishing sensitive research or speaking publicly about what they knew.As we connect the dots, patterns begin to emerge:• Links to classified research and defense programs• Overlaps between institutions and individuals• Sudden deaths with little transparency• Disappearances that defy logicWe also examine several theories:– Are foreign adversaries targeting scientists for what they know?– Is the U.S. government silencing those who get too close to sensitive truths?– Could this be tied to suppressed technologies like advanced propulsion or fusion energy?– Or does this go even deeper… into the realm of UAPs, secret space programs, or something beyond our current understanding?This episode doesn't claim to have all the answers—but it raises serious questions that deserve attention.www.stayskeptical.comWise Wolf Gold: https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=jvujkwgsSources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jcwvgWpPz8GqLxNwpeJM7AHqBJL2O3JWVdE8ggKK7_8/edit?usp=sharing

Kimmy Igla discusses the draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) published by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) for the production of new plutonium pits for nuclear weapons at six different sites in the US, one of which is the Kansas City National Security Campus, which has a controversial history. You are invited to review the PEIS available at pitpeis.com and submit written comments up to July 16, as described in pwkc.org/Plutonium. Ms. Igla is a leader with PeaceWorks Kansas City and Physicians for Social Responsibility KC. She currently serves on the board of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability and is a founding member of the No Nukes KC Coalition. Ms. Igla was a leader in organizing a May 6 workshop to coach humans on the best way to write comments responding to this PEIS. Help with that May 6 session came in part from Dr. Chanese Forté of the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), who discussed their research summarized in their testimony at the May 7 public comment hearing in Kansas City concerning the draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the production of new plutonium pits for nuclear bombs. An expert in environmental toxicology, they discuss the history of toxicants found at the Kansas City nuclear weapons plant and what new pit production could mean for the future of Kansas City and humanity. Background Dr. C.A. Forté is a scientist in the Union of Concerned Scientists' Global Security Program specializing in environmental toxicology and epidemiology. Their work with UCS focuses on the health and well-being of communities affected by nuclear weapons mining, exposure, and the threat of exposure. Prior to this, they worked at the US Navy and Marine Corps as a deployment health epidemiologist researching active service member deployability and the environmental impacts of the US Norfolk Naval Hospital. Dr. Forté has a PhD in Environmental Health Sciences and a second PhD in Scientific Computing from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Prior to pursuing their doctorate, they earned a master's degree in Public Health from the University of Georgia, with a focus on epidemiology and biostatistics. They recently lent this expertise to Kansas Citians at a May 6 information session to help citizens prepare to give public comment on the draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the production of new plutonium pits, the softball-sized radioactive cores of nuclear bombs. On 2024-09-30 US District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis ruled that the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the DOE's semi-autonomous nuclear weapons agency, violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by failing to properly consider alternatives including environmental impact before proceeding with their plan to produce plutonium pits at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. This decision culminated several years of litigation. Written comments invited until July 16  Written comments can be submitted up to July 16 by email to PitPEIS@nnsa.doe.gov. Include the document number: DOE/EIS-0573 with your submission. Their draft EIS is available at "https://pitpeis.com". While DOE is officially required to respond to all comments they receive, their conclusion may not otherwise be impacted unless the US Congress decides to change the program, e.g., by enacting legislation changing the mission from producing new nuclear weapons to accelerating the transition to renewable energy, as discussed by Wallis (2023) Warheads to Windmills (Indispensable Press). This would simultaneously reduce threats associated with global warming while also reducing the power of Iran and the fossil fuel industry over the global economy. This is discussed further on pwkc.org/eis. In person hearings  Public comment hearings on the environmental impact are being held in five cities across the US with ties to nuclear weapons manufacturing, May 5, 7, 12, 14, and 20. Kansas City is one of those five. The Kansas City public comment hearing was May 7 at the Hillcrest Community Center. Eighty percent of the non-nuclear parts for US nuclear weapons are produced at the Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) operated by Honeywell. Dr. Forté was one of about 40 speakers who gave comments at the hearing. All opposed the NNSA's goal of new pit production. Dr. Forté explains their issues with the draft PEIS. This includes the lack of transparent information about Kansas City's involvement in the pit program and the cumulative impact to all sites concerned. Though there has been no mention of the Kansas City plant directly handling plutonium, there are still a number of other environmental toxins the final PEIS needs to and does not adequately address. It was revealed that over 2,400 contaminants were present at Kansas City's former nuclear weapons plant at the Bannister Federal Complex which was shut down and replaced by the National Security Campus on Botts Road in 2014. News reports have documented serious health concerns and premature deaths among former employees who were exposed to toxins while working at the Kansas City plant. The Kansas City Defender recently interviewed one of those workers, Maurice Copeland, who also testified at the May 7 hearing. With the NNSA's budget for the Kansas City plant being doubled and money appropriated specifically for "pit production" despite the DOE's claims Kansas City will not be directly involved, Dr. Forté and others who attended the hearing are rightfully concerned: what will this new plutonium pit program mean for KCNSC workers and residents in the surrounding area?

A growing number of cases involving scientists, engineers, and military personnel with ties to nuclear research, aerospace programs, and advanced defense projects have begun drawing public attention. While none of the cases are officially connected, the overlap in professions, and the unusual circumstances surrounding several deaths and disappearances, has sparked speculation online and even prompted discussion in political circles.Among the most notable cases is that of retired Air Force General William McCasland, who vanished from his Albuquerque home under unclear circumstances in 2026. Around the same time, aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza disappeared while hiking in California, and Melissa Casias, an administrative worker at Los Alamos National Laboratory, went missing after a routine day. In separate incidents, other individuals tied to national security research were either found dead or never seen again, often leaving behind personal items in ways investigators describe as unusual.Authorities have not confirmed any connection between these cases. The FBI, Department of Defense, and NASA have all stated they are monitoring or assisting where appropriate, but no evidence currently supports a coordinated explanation. Still, because many of the individuals worked in sensitive fields, including nuclear technology, propulsion systems, and aerospace research, the pattern has led some to ask whether these are unrelated tragedies… or something more complicated. Do you have any thoughts on these disappearances? #TrueCrimeRecaps #MissingScientists #WilliamMcCasland #MonicaJacintoReza #MelissaCasias #AnthonyChavez #JoshuaLeBlanc #MatthewSullivan #AmyEskridge #StevenGarcia #NunoLoureiro #CarlGrillmair

This episode includes discussions of the history of US immigration law and May 7 hearings on the environmental impact of the production of new nuclear weapons at Kansas City's nuclear bomb plant.    History of immigration law  William Jewell history Professor Daniel Kotzin gives a brief summary of a class he teaches on the history of US immigration law. This is excerpted from the April 6 Solidarity School of Resistance organized by Indivisible Kansas City, Boots on the Ground Midwest, and the Cross-Border Network for Justice & Solidarity.    Public hearings May 7 on environmental impact of nuclear weapons production in Kansas City PeaceWorks Kansas City encourages all to attend two events:  Public hearings May 7, 5-8 PM, in the Hillcrest Community Center Community Room, 10401 Hillcrest Road, Kansas City, MO 64134, regarding the Plutonium Pit Production Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). A comment prep workshop on May 6, 7 PM, All Souls UU Church, 4501 Walnut St., KCMO 64111, the evening before the hearing, with experts from environmental organizations to help you formulate your comments. Written comments can be submitted up to July 16 by email to PitPEIS@nnsa.doe.gov. Include the document number: DOE/EIS-0573 with your submission. The schedule of hearings and the draft PEIS is available at pitpeis.com.  BACKGROUND:  Since at least the administration of US President George W. Bush, the US has abrogated or failed to renew arms control agreements and has initiated production of new nuclear weapons that had previously been suspended by international agreements and after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Rocky Flats for violations of US law in 1989. On 2024-09-30 US District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis ruled that the US Department of Energy (“DOE”) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (“NNSA”), the DOEs semi-autonomous nuclear weapons agency, violated the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) by failing to properly consider alternatives including envirnomental impact before proceeding with their plan to produce plutonium pits, a critical component of nuclear weapons, at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. This decision culminated several years of litigation. In 2022, Nature Food published a report by a team of 10 leading experts in climatology, food production, and economics that summarized simulations of several nuclear war scenarios.1 They claim that the primary problem in a nuclear war is firestorms from cities lofting smoke to the stratosphere, where it would cover the earth, depressing surface temperatures and food production worldwide for several years, leading to mass starvation; over 90% of the deaths would be in countries not involved in the nuclear exchange. They estimated that after a relatively minor nuclear war between India and Pakistan, roughly 40% of humanity would starve to death if they did not die of something else sooner. Roughly 80% of humanity would similarly die after a nuclear war between the US and Russia with the death rate in the US, Europe, and Russia being roughly 99 percent.2  On 2026-03-03 the Military Religious Freedom Foundation reported that they had received over 200 complaints from over 50 US military installations that their commanders had ordered them to, e.g., share the good news that Jesus had anointed President Trump to initiate Armageddon in Iran -- thereby bringing on the Rapture -  second coming of Christ.3 Worse, Daniel Ellsberg, of Pentagon Papers fame, insisted that the "nuclear football", with top secret nuclear launch scenarios and codes carried by a military aide next to the President and Vice President, had to be a hoax: Otherwise a single nuclear detonation over Washington, DC, when both the President and Vice President were in town, could prevent a nuclear response.4 And Secretary of Defense Hegseth has been holding monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during working hours, with many expressing concern that they may be passed over for promotion or future DoD contracts for not attending.5 If Hegseth and, e.g., his appointee as head of the Strategic Command agreed that Jesus had anointed them to initiate Armageddon with a nuclear war with Russia, they might be able to do it.  Trump said, "A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody." In a 2026-04-23 State Department post to X, President Trump said, "A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody." (https://x.com/StateDept/status/2047416056902209908?s=20) How might that sentiment be used? _______  Lili Xia; Alan Robock; Kim J N Scherrer et al. (15 August 2022).

Raise your voice on Thursday, May 14th from 5 pm to 8 pm about the proposedexpansion of plutonium pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory, or LANL,annually from 30 to possibly 100 pits, or triggers, for nuclear weapons. The hybrid publichearing will take place at the Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute, located at 1507 Paseode Peralta, in Santa Fe.

A number of Scientists who have held high-level positions in government research programs, including NASA and Los Alamos National Laboratory have died or are missing has recently raised concerns about the circumstances of their deaths or missing statuses. Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett tells us more.

As questions mount over the mysterious disappearances and deaths among high-level researchers, national security concerns have been sparked, and the focus now shifts to whether or not these cases are directly linked to United States classified aerospace and weapons programs. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison joins to discuss why the suspicious suicide of a former intelligence officer and the unexplained vanishing of researchers from NASA and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have prompted a formal request for an FBI investigation into the occurrences. As AI-driven layoffs hit major firms from Amazon to Meta, a growing sense of anxiety is taking hold of the American workforce. Recent headlines have even turned violent, with attacks targeting tech leaders and local officials, allegedly over job automation and data center fears. Futurist and author Jamie Metzl joins us to explain why he dismisses the idea of machines fully replacing people, advocating for a collaborative "human-plus-AI" model and a global moral framework to ensure this rapid transition remains a creative force rather than a destructive one.

From booming migration in South Carolina to mysterious disappearances tied to Los Alamos National Laboratory—and rising global tensions involving China and Iran—this episode connects a wide range of explosive claims shaping today's headlines. We start local, breaking down why cities like Greenville are seeing massive population growth—and whether the “red state escape” narrative holds up under scrutiny. Then, we pivot to the viral “missing scientists” story, examining which cases raise real questions and which may be fueled by speculation—featuring figures like William Neil McCasland and alleged patterns tied to high-level research. Finally, the episode escalates into global stakes—exploring claims of military buildup, economic warfare, and whether the U.S. is already engaged in a larger conflict through proxy forces. Is this a collection of unrelated stories—or pieces of a much bigger picture?

Is there really a pattern behind the so-called “missing scientists”—or is the story spiraling into speculation? In this episode, we break down the viral claims surrounding disappearances tied to high-level research communities, including connections to Los Alamos National Laboratory. While some cases raise legitimate questions, others may be getting lumped in without evidence. We examine specific cases like William Neil McCasland and other individuals whose disappearances have drawn attention, separating what's unusual from what may simply be misunderstood. We also explore how online communities—especially those focused on UFO narratives—have amplified the story, and why critical thinking matters when evaluating claims like these. Is this a real pattern worth investigating—or a case of the internet connecting dots that don't belong together?

️ Episode Overview: The Ominous Reality of S4 In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the most controversial and enduring conspiracy in Ufology: Bob Lazar's claims about S4. Located near the infamous Area 51, S4 is alleged to be a hidden facility where the U.S. government reverse-engineers extraterrestrial spacecraft . Rather than simply rehashing old news, this episode focuses on the "ominous" and often frightening implications of this secret program—including the technology involved, the alleged government surveillance, and the psychological toll on the whistleblower. Key Discussion Points & Insights The S4 Facility & "Sports Model" Craft: The podcast details Lazar's description of S4, specifically the "Sector 4" location near Papoose Lake . It covers his work on a craft he called the "Sports Model," including its unique gravity wave propulsion system and the infamous Element 115 (Moscovium) used as fuel . The Human Cost & Threats: A significant portion of the episode addresses the "ominous" reality of coming forward. The hosts discuss the alleged threats made to Lazar, including tampering with his home, surveillance, and even a drive-by shooting . The Credibility Question: The podcast explores the dichotomy of Lazar's story: while his educational records from MIT and Caltech are missing, his employment at Los Alamos National Laboratory is verifiable via a 1982 phone directory . Modern Corroboration: The discussion connects Lazar's 1989 claims to modern science (the official synthesis of Element 115) and recent UAP disclosures by the U.S. government .

Joshua Neil, Co-Founder of Alpha Level, dives into a more sophisticated understanding of AI SOCs. Join the conversation about this industry change on Defender Fridays.Dr. Joshua Neil, has been a pioneer in applying machine learning to cybersecurity since 2000, starting his journey at Los Alamos National Laboratory. There, he co-developed Pathscan, a network anomaly detection system capable of spotting attacks that slip past traditional defenses. In 2014, he and CEO Mike Pozmantier took that innovation to market by licensing Pathscan to Ernst & Young (EY), turning deep research into enterprise impact.That experience exposed a hard truth: anomaly detection is powerful at catching unknown threats - but on its own, it creates too much noise. Josh went on to tackle the other half of the problem, alert overload, through leadership roles at Microsoft and Securonix, gaining firsthand insight into the real-world struggles of security teams.In 2023, Josh and Mike launched Alpha Level to bring both worlds together: pairing the depth of anomaly detection with the precision of behavioral threat signals. The result? A platform that reduces false positives, adapts to your environment, and lets teams focus on real threats—before they become breaches.

Something dark is going on inside America's defense and aerospace community — and the mainstream media is almost completely silent.In just the past nine months, nine top-level scientists tied to NASA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and highly classified special access programs have either died under suspicious circumstances or simply vanished without a trace.These were not ordinary researchers. They were the brilliant minds developing next-generation rocket propulsion, planetary defense systems, nuclear fusion technology, advanced sensors, and the classified programs that keep America ahead of China and Russia.In this hard-hitting 14-minute episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings lays out the chilling facts, names every scientist, maps the disturbing geographic and timeline patterns, and connects the dots no one else will touch.From the disappearance of Monica Jacinto Reza in California's Angeles National Forest to the vanishing of Air Force Research Laboratory commander William Neil McCasland in New Mexico, the pattern is unmistakable — and the institutional silence is deafening.Doug delivers the strong, unique conservative analysis you expect: what this means for America's technological edge, the possibility of foreign sabotage or domestic resistance targeting President Trump's America First agenda, and why proud conservatives must demand a full congressional and FBI investigation.This is the kind of story you won't hear on legacy media. This is the kind of story that only appears on The Right Side.If you care about national security, American technological superiority, and protecting the brilliant minds who defend our Republic, this episode is a must-listen.Share it. Demand answers. Support the leader who puts America First.Stay vigilant. Stay strong. Stay proud.The Right Side with Doug Billings – Strong conservative analysis you can't find anywhere else.#MissingScientists #DefenseScientists #NationalSecurity #SomethingDarkIsGoingOn #Trump2026 #AmericaFirst #DeepState #ClassifiedPrograms #Aerospace #LosAlamos #AirForceResearchLab #NASA#fypSupport the show

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: AI vs. Vulnerabilities: Who Really Wins?Pub date: 2026-03-26Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationArtificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity but not in the way many expect. While defenders are using AI to accelerate detection, triage, and threat hunting, adversaries are leveraging the same tools to scale reconnaissance, automate exploit development, and dramatically increase the speed of attack. In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joe Saunders and Joe Slowik, Director of Cybersecurity Alerting Strategy at Dataminr, to discuss one critical question: Does AI actually reduce vulnerability risk or just accelerate the conflict? With a background including MITRE ATT&CK, Dragos, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and U.S. government offensive operations, Slowik offers a dual-lens perspective on how AI is reshaping both sides of cybersecurity. Together, they explore: How AI is increasing the velocity of vulnerability discovery and exploitationWhy attackers may benefit from “good enough” AI outputs, while defenders require precisionThe rise in CVEs and why more vulnerabilities doesn't necessarily mean worse securityThe growing risk in OT, IoT, and unmanaged edge devicesWhy AI is a powerful tool—not a magic bullet—and what that means for defenders From enterprise security teams to critical infrastructure operators, this episode breaks down what security leaders must understand to stay ahead in an AI-accelerated threat landscape.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Why have top military and scientific personnel recently gone missing, or in other cases been mysteriously murdered? What connections do these cases have with UFOs? From the Air Force to Los Alamos National Lab, Cal Tech and MIT, a pattern has emerged. Are foreign governments involved, the US Government, or private companies? Are the people involved willingly participating in their own disappearances or are they being blackmailed or kidnapped for information and access? Monica Jacinto Reza – Co-inventor of "Mondaloy" rocket superalloy; missing since June 22, 2025.Melissa Casias – Administrative Advisory Board Member, Los Alamos National Laboratory; missing since June 26, 2025.Nuno Loureiro – Director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center; murdered December 15, 2025.Carl Grillmair – Senior Caltech/NASA-IPAC Astrophysicist; murdered February 16, 2026.William Neil McCasland – Retired USAF Major General and former AFRL Commander; missing since February 27, 2026.Reza Pahlavi – Rocket Propulsion Scientist and BlueHalo/Sandia associate; missing since March 21, 2026.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A retired U.S. Air Force general vanishes without a trace. A rocket scientist disappears mid-hike. And a series of deaths and disappearances begin to form a chilling pattern. One that leads back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a site long linked to advanced aerospace research and enduring UFO lore. In this special episode of Somewhere in the Skies, Ryan and the Sentinel Network investigate the disappearance of William Neil McCasland and a growing web of scientists and defense personnel connected through the Air Force Research Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. All operating at the intersection of national security, advanced technology, and the unexplained. As the cases unfold, unsettling connections emerge between propulsion research, detection systems, and individuals working at the highest levels of classified programs. Featuring original reporting from the Sentinel Network, this episode explores whether these events are tragic coincidences, or part of a deeper, hidden struggle over next-generation aerospace technology and possibly UFO/UAP materials themselves. This is more than a mystery. It's a pattern. And the search for answers is only just beginning. Based on original investigation and reporting by The Sentinel Network.

Above Photograph © Donald Pettit, NASA At its best, photography draws from both science and art, to give resulting images a dual purpose—aesthetic innovation and scientific merit. And when that photography happens from the windows of the International Space Station, capturing star trails, city lights, and our blue planet against the void of space, it becomes something truly transcendent.  In today's show, we're privileged to chat with NASA Astronaut Donald Pettit, a scientist, inventor, and photographer who has spent nearly two years living, working, and making pictures in orbit. Some fun take aways from our chat include:  How photographing in a microgravity environment can turn a traditional group portrait      into bodies scattering like bowling pins when the photographer tries to join the shot. The vast perspective when viewing out a window of the ISS—on the order of half a continent—rather than a 50-to-100-kilometer horizon on earth. The stratospheric volume of imagery captured during a mission, and the discerning Lightroom workflow Don uses to retrieve individual photos from his archive at home.  The importance of a humble synch cord to connect two cameras and render the "many decades of brightness" on an EV scale as a single HDR image to illustrate the rapid transition from day to night that occurs in orbit.  And, finally, how Don has taken the concept of synchronized imagery to a cosmic level by pairing the same phenomena he captures from orbit with a complementary view recorded from earth, in collaboration with astrophotographer Babak Tafreshi. As Don explains towards the end of our chat, "I'm a big proponent of the concept of a frontier. My frontier happens to be space, but there are frontiers all around us." He then shares this parting advice: "So just explore the frontiers that present themselves to you, the frontiers that you're motivated to go to. And just open your eyes and collect data, and then record or write about it, because you could make an observation and if you don't somehow share that with others through publications or imagery, it's almost as if it's never been done." Guest: NASA Astronaut Donald Pettit Episode Timeline: 2:06: Donald Pettit's introduction to photography, plus connections between his love of science and his creative vision. 5:51: Don's first space flight in 2002 - 2003, using both film and digital cameras, plus the learning curve on the ground to prepare for photographing in space.  10:36: The success rate when shooting with film and challenges to photographing in orbit. 13:42: From photographing with a barn-door tracker to Don's recent use of an orbital sidereal tracker. 19:07: Advances in digital camera technology, Don's relationship with NASA photo trainers, and challenges to capturing group shots in microgravity. 23:43: Don's most memorable photos from space, the advantages of pro-level camera technology, plus his personal everyday camera—the Nikon Z9. 29:38: Episode Break 30:33: The benefits to fast glass for nighttime images, plus Don's reluctant transition to mirrorless technology.  33:57: Capturing the colors of city lights, plus the spread of cosmic fireflies—commonly known as Starlink satellites 37:54: Changes on Earth that affect a view from space, plus the extra gear list for Don's next flight. 42:10: The volume of images captured during a mission, Don's Lightroom workflow at home, plus taking notes on the ISS for future reference on Earth.  49:32: Don's Antarctic expedition to hunt for meteorites, and the creative potential of a frontier environment. 53:17: Don's project From Above and Below with astrophotographer Babak Tafreshi, plus the unicorns in space he hopes to capture on future missions. 57:52: Parting advice about chasing your dreams—Explore the frontiers that present themselves, open your eyes, record your observations, and share them with others. Guest Bio:  Donald Pettit is NASA astronaut and a veteran of four spaceflights, logging more than 590 days in space, primarily on the International Space Station. Currently NASA's oldest active astronaut, Don's missions have focused on scientific research into topics that include microgravity, 3D printing, water purification, and plant growth. He's also known for his remarkable in-space inventions, stunning astrophotography, and engaging educational content that makes space science engaging and fun.  A native of Silverton, Oregon, Pettit was selected as an astronaut candidate in 1996. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State University and a doctorate in the same field from the University of Arizona. Prior to joining NASA, Pettit worked as a staff scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.  Stay Connected: Donald Pettit on the NASA Website: https://www.nasa.gov/people/donald-r-pettit/ Donald Pettit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astro_pettit/ Donald Pettit on X: https://x.com/astro_Pettit Donald Pettit's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Pettit# Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

Wednesday, March 25, 2026   In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six major stories from the last 24 hours in space and astronomy — including two landmark NASA announcements that could reshape the future of human space exploration.   Story 1: NASA Cancels Lunar Gateway — Pivots to $20 Billion Moon Base NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced at the agency's 'Ignition Day' event that the Lunar Gateway orbital space station has been paused, with resources redirected toward a phased $20 billion base on the lunar surface. The three-phase plan runs from 2026 to beyond 2032 and involves international partners including JAXA, the Italian Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency.

We welcome Army intelligence veteran Bethany Redmond to share her story. She didn't grow up aiming for the military. She was a language and humanities student from Los Alamos, New Mexico — not the stereotypical path into national security — until an Army recruiter's call at the end of high school nudged her into service. From there she found herself in Army intelligence, where listening, pattern recognition, and human judgment mattered more than guns or glory. After her military service, Bethany continued on a path that few Americans ever see up close: counterintelligence. She worked protecting critical research and personnel at Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the nation's premier science and national security institutions. Today she is a leader in protective intelligence, helping organizations understand how ordinary activities — travel, publication histories, personnel movements — can create vulnerabilities exploited by foreign actors and insider threats. In this Veterans Breakfast Club conversation we'll explore the real work behind national security “behind the scenes,” what counterintelligence looks like in the 21st century, and how the habits veterans learn in uniform translate to protecting the nation in new arenas.

Geoffrey West didn't set out to explain work. He was a physicist trying to understand why living things grow, age, and die. But when his questions expanded into biology, cities, and organizations, they offered a way to think about why growth changes how organizations behave and why success often brings new constraints. In this episode, Dart and Geoffrey discuss why work feels different as organizations scale, why cities keep renewing themselves while companies tend to burn out, and what these hidden constraints mean for the people doing the work.Geoffrey West is a British theoretical physicist and Distinguished Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is a former president of the Institute and the author of Scale, which explores how size shapes growth, innovation, and lifespan across living and social systems.In this episode, Dart and Geoffrey discuss:- Why work changes as organizations grow- How simple scaling laws shape complex systems- Why larger animals live longer- Why companies die younger than cities- How scale speeds up innovation- Why bureaucracy grows with success- How innovation gets crowded out over time- Why cities tolerate difference better than firms- What keeps work alive inside organizations- And other topics…Geoffrey West is a British theoretical physicist and Distinguished Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, where he previously served as president.

A black leather jacket, black hoop earrings, black T-shirt and pants. You may visualize a rock star, and Colin Hemez is a rock star of sorts, but he actually works in a white coat, a doctors coat. Yes, he's a scientist.Dr. Hemez brings a remarkable blend of science, creativity, and purpose to the fight against cystic fibrosis. Colin was born in France and raised in the high-desert town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, an environment steeped in scientific discovery. Summers interning at Los Alamos National Laboratory sparked his early fascination with how innovation can change lives.At Yale, he explored the intersection of engineering and art, studying biomedical engineering alongside art history to understand both the precision of science and the elegance of design. But it was a research trip to the Arctic University of Norway that set his path in motion. While building mathematical models of antibiotic resistance, a challenge many people with cystic fibrosis face, Colin discovered his true calling.Today, he's a PhD student in Dr. David R. Liu's renowned laboratory at Harvard, working at the cutting edge of gene editing for cystic fibrosis. Every day, Colin is pushing boundaries, imagining a future where science doesn't just treat CF but has the power to rewrite its story.We had to so much fun talking in this podcast. Born in France we talk about Colin's wonderful siblings and parents. They're all incredibly smart and making a huge difference in our world.Outside the lab, Colin reflected on the grounding role of art, music, and outdoor exploration, coping mechanisms that keep him connected to the world he's trying to impact. Looking ahead, he's both hopeful and driven: gene editing for cystic fibrosis is no longer a distant dream but a rapidly approaching reality with global implications. His aspirations are bold, but so is the science.In his view, the future of CF research depends on collaboration, imagination, and staying rooted in why the work matters: to bring healthier, longer lives within reach for every person living with this disease. We sure love his passion for science.

On 09/20/1988, 19-year-old Tara Leigh Calico left her home in Belen, New Mexico, for her daily bike ride along Highway 47. She never returned. Nearly four decades later, her disappearance remains one of the most haunting and controversial missing persons cases in American history.This episode of The Guilty Files traces Tara's life from her childhood and active years at Belen High School to her studies in psychology at the University of New Mexico–Valencia Campus. We examine the morning she vanished, including her final conversation with her mother and witness reports of a light-colored 1953 Ford pickup truck following closely behind her pink Huffy bicycle.We explore  the infamous Polaroid photograph found 9 months later in Port St. Joe, Florida, showing a bound young woman and a boy in the back of a white cargo van. Conflicting expert analyses—from Scotland Yard, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the FBI—only deepened the mystery. We examine long-standing local theories, allegations of a cover-up involving prominent families, and former Sheriff Rene Rivera's 2008 claim that Tara was accidentally struck and killed by local teenagers. We also explore a disturbing deathbed confession alleging Tara's body was hidden by the son of the sheriff in office at the time.The episode honors the tireless efforts of Tara's parents, who died without answers, and highlights the work of investigators and advocates who continue to push for the truth. It concludes with the 06/2023 announcement by Valencia County authorities that the case has been submitted for prosecutorial review. As of 2025, no charges have been filed, and the identities of those believed responsible remain sealed.

Catherine (Katie) Ulissey, wife and research partner of geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, found her early years shaped by dance. Conservatory trained, she turned professional at the age of 16, performing with classical ballet and contemporary dance companies, and later transitioning to musical theater, performing on Broadway in a number of productions including the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to her husband's research, including connecting Easter Island's previously undeciphered rongorongo script to global “plasma petroglyphs” first identified by renowned physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This discovery shifted her husband's research toward our Sun as the probable cause of the end of the last ice age. Related to this, she noticed giant Lichtenberg patterns emanating from beneath the Great and Second Pyramids on the Giza Plateau (dendritic patterns would be consistent with plasma ejected during massive solar outbursts). More recently, she has offered an hypothesis regarding the potential “Ancient and Intentional Burial of Ancient Egypt” (in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe). She holds a B.A. from Emerson College (2002) and stays connected to her dance roots by teaching ballet at Wellesley College. She is the author of a children's book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. The subsequently excavated 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey confirmed these assertions.Dr. Schoch's more recent research has focused on the cataclysmic events that ended Earth's last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, simultaneously decimating the high civilizations of the time. The overwhelming evidence drawn from varying disciplines, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), points to enormous solar outbursts as the cause.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), Origins of the Sphinx (2017), and the 2nd edition (revised and expanded) of Forgotten Civilization, subtitled New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.It was at the instigation of the late John Anthony West (1932—2018) that Dr. Schoch first began studying the age of the Sphinx. The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch, working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki, discovered in the early 1990s and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records" remains unexplored.In 2010 (and grateful to the dignitaries who made it possible), Dr. Schoch married former ballet and Broadway dancer Catherine Ulissey in both civil and traditional Rapanui ceremonies on Easter Island.Dr. Schoch's website is www.robertschoch.com.- - - - -Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

This week's guest says, “ The purpose of science and technology research, in the military, is to make the fight unfair.” So what's standing in our way? Laura Winter speaks with Richard Joseph, the 36th Air Force Chief Scientist, who has a CV that includes the Strategic Defense Initiative, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and NASA.

The advocacy group, Tewa Women United, is warning nearby Pueblo citizens and other local residents about Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico releasing gas containing the weak radioactive substance, tritium. The group says, despite assurances by lab experts and regulators that the substance is safe in relatively small doses, it is a dangerous substance and could pose a threat to pregnant women and others. Tritium is a naturally occuring substance, but is also produced in quantities during nuclear power generation and is a key component in nuclear weapons. LANL says it is forced to release the radioactive gas because the containers they've been in for decades pose a risk. We'll discuss what tritium does and whatever threat, if any, it poses. GUESTS Marissa Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo), deputy director of Sovereign Energy and a board member for Honor Our Pueblo Existence (HOPE) Pat Moss, deputy manager of National Nuclear Security Administration's Los Alamos field office Arjun Makhijani, Ph.D. in nuclear fusion from the University of California at Berkeley and the president of the Institute of Energy and Environmental Research Martha Izenson, a tribal attorney for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/myriad-uranium-csem-60-boost-to-potential-100-mlbs-wyoming-project-7466Recording date: 4th September 2025Myriad Uranium (CSE:M) represents a compelling investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving uranium sector, where technological advancement and market dynamics have created significant value creation potential. The company's flagship Copper Mountain project in Wyoming has undergone a transformative resource upgrade through modern measurement techniques, with CEO Thomas Lamb reporting that advanced gamma probe technology and laboratory assaying have delivered 50-60% grade improvements over historical estimates established in the 1970s.The technological advantage stems from replacing outdated Delayed Fission Neutron probes with modern gamma probe technology, revealing substantially higher uranium concentrations than previously recognized. Laboratory assays have confirmed these improvements, with grades above 1,000 ppm showing 60% boosts and those above 500 ppm demonstrating 50% increases. This upgrade positions the project's resource estimate significantly above the historical 15-30 million pound baseline, with expansion potential to 65 million pounds through surrounding prospects and ultimate potential of 200 million pounds according to US Department of Energy assessments.Market dynamics have shifted decisively in Myriad's favor as operational challenges at high-profile ISR projects have created investor skepticism toward in-situ recovery methods. Fund managers are now explicitly seeking conventional mining projects, with Lamb noting that sentiment has transformed from questioning conventional approaches to actively pursuing them. This preference shift provides Myriad with a significant competitive advantage, as the Copper Mountain project's geology supports conventional mining in the northern section while maintaining ISR optionality in the southern portion.The company's strategic consolidation through its planned merger with Rush Rare Metals will eliminate joint venture complexity while adding complementary assets. Currently holding an option to earn 75% of Copper Mountain, the merger will provide 100% ownership while incorporating Rush's high-grade Boxy project in Quebec, which contains 11% uranium and up to 27% niobium grades. This transaction exemplifies the "1 plus 1 equals three" value creation potential in the current uranium market.Myriad's Red Basin project in New Mexico has emerged as an unexpected value creator following the state's emergence as a nuclear technology hub. Acquired for just $525,000 Canadian, the project now attracts significant attention from major technology companies including Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, which are pursuing uranium supply partnerships to support data center and AI computing infrastructure. The convergence of Los Alamos National Laboratory expertise, state-level funding initiatives, and private technology investment is creating a unique development ecosystem.With $2.5 million in cash, Myriad maintains sufficient capital for immediate strategic objectives through a capital-efficient validation strategy. The company plans to conduct approximately eight targeted infill holes in Copper Mountain's central pit area to establish grade upgrades definitively before expanding to peripheral prospects. This methodology provides maximum leverage from limited drilling while building investor confidence in broader resource potential.The company's positioning as a US-focused uranium producer with assets in Wyoming and New Mexico aligns with domestic supply chain security objectives, positioning for potential strategic partnerships or acquisition scenarios. Management's plan to migrate toward US exchange listings could unlock significant valuation multiples while providing enhanced liquidity for investors seeking exposure to the uranium sector recovery.View Myriad Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From October 2024. Today's 2 topics: - To discover what would happen if an asteroid were to strike a large body of water, Dr. Galen Gisler led a team of scientists who used high performance computing facilities at Los Alamos National Laboratory to calculate and visualize a 3-D model of an asteroid entering the Earth's atmosphere over one of the world's oceans. These efforts won them the Best Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase award at Supercomputing 2016. Reality is that what happens depends upon the mass, size, speed, angle of approach, and composition of the impacting object. Galen's group of scientists documented the hunch that since an asteroid strikes the water at a single point, it only effects the immediate region around the impact point, whereas to create a tsunami, you need something like an under water landslide which disturbs an entire water column from the ocean floor to the surface.   - The ALMA radio telescope located in the Atacama desert of northern Chile is able to see the faint millimeter wave length glow emitted by gas molecules and dust particles in the disk of material surrounding the very young star named HD 163296. This solar system in formation is located about 400 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. HD 162396's age compared to our Sun is like that of a 3 day old human baby compared to a 65 year old adult.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
