President Trump weighed in on the troubling story of a growing number of top scientists and researchers who’ve gone missing or mysteriously died.

There have been 11 reported deaths or disappearances of scientists and researchers with ties to space and energy technology within the past several years.

President Trump didn’t brush off the growing story as a conspiracy but rather called the strange number of untimely deaths among a specific group of high-level professionals “serious stuff.”

“I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump told the press on Thursday.

“I just left a meeting on that subject.”

“Pretty serious stuff… Some of them were very important people, and we’re going to look at it over the next short period.”

One incident involved the death of aerospace researcher Amy Eskridge, who authorities at the time said died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in June, 2022.

In a 2020 podcast, Eskridge had said she planned to disclose UFO and extraterrestrial research, but signaled that she felt she might be in danger.

“I’m scared, I’m tired. I need to disclose soon, man. I need to publish soon because it’s like escalating. It’s getting more and more aggressive. This has been going on for like four or five years, and over the past 12 months, it’s been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats,” Eskridge said.

Eskridge’s podcast testimony has bolstered the widely held suspicion that something nefarious is going on.

If multiple scientists are turning up missing or dead, that’s not something to “hope is random.”
That’s something that needs transparent, urgent investigation.

This is deeply concerning. 10 scientists with access to classified nuclear, aerospace, and advanced tech programs from NASA, Los Alamos, JPL etc. don’t just vanish or turn up dead by coincidence. Glad Trump is treating it seriously and pushing for answers quickly. Transparency on…

Bottom line, this comes down to UFO tech. Everyone who knows, knows. Its time for the US gov’t to come clean on this topic and stop playing where’s waldo with the truth.

Although not everyone was encouraged by Trump’s announcement that there will be some sort of investigation.

“don’t worry, the government will look into it”

Basically, he just said nothing will be done. Because nothing was being done prior to Peter Doocy mentioning it during a Press Conference. Which is why they weren’t concerned about it prior, which means they don’t care & is why nothing will be done.

Let’s hope the naysayers are wrong and America gets answers.
