11 American Scientists and Nuclear Insiders Are Dead or Missing. The FBI Just Got Involved. Here's Every Name and What They Knew.

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.

What they do have however is a technology for touch-screens that is far advanced and costs less than the technology Apple uses on the iPad. What this means is this.
