They worked on asteroid deflection missions. Nuclear weapons components. Plasma fusion that could change the world's energy supply. Anti-gravity propulsion. And one by one, since 2022, they have vanished or turned up dead — leaving behind phones, wallets, glasses, and more questions than anyone in Washington wants to answer. As of April 2026, at least 11 individuals connected to America's most sensitive nuclear and aerospace programs are dead or missing. The FBI has now confirmed it is leading a coordinated investigation. The House Oversight Committee has demanded briefings from NASA, the Department of Energy, the Pentagon, and the FBI by April 27. President Trump called it "pretty serious stuff." Here is every confirmed case, what each person was working on, and why the pattern — particularly in New Mexico — is so difficult to explain away.

Some context for non-Brits:
This is taken from Prime Ministers Questions: a weekly event that takes place in the House of Commons (the lower chamber) where Members of Parliament ask the Prime Minister, David Cameron, questions. Questions are fielded from all parties, and are selected randomly from a list prior to the start, and also you'll see Members stand up during the session and some will be chosen to ask off-the-cuff questions which the PM hasn't prepared in advance for.
The highlight is generally when the Opposition Leader, Ed Miliband, get's to ask six or so questions that are designed to ruffle the feathers of the PM on policies, or on events happening in the country or world that week, and the PM get's to snarkily reply and defend whatever it is is being mocked or criticised.
You notice that no one actually speaks to each other directly; they all refer to each other as "My Right Honourable Friend". The questions and answers are all directed at the Speaker of the House John Bercow or Deputy Speakers when applicable. Talking directly to the person asking the question is seen as a breach of Parliamentary customs.
It sounds rowdy, and it is. Questions and answers from all sides are booed and cheered accordingly. It's seen as a chance for MP's to let off steam, somewhat, and show verbal animosity or praise for various policies or decisions.
Again; this only happens once a week and it lasts around half an hour. All the other sitting sessions of the House of Commons are nowhere near this exciting or loud. [Explanation source]
