Retired American general and UFO expert missing
March 11 2026: A retired American general and UFO expert who sought UFO disclosure has been missing since February 27, 2026.
The disappearance comes shortly after President Trump announced the declassification of UFO material.He was once commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
This base is historically linked to Project Blue Book and UFO investigations.
McCasland held very high security clearances and worked with advanced military technologies.
He is considered by many to be a true UFO/UAP expert within the military.
His wife, Susan, and friends have ruled out mental health issues or suicide.
Coulthart calls the timing "alarming" and a possible "major national security issue."
There is also speculation about internal American involvement in preventing disclosure.
McCasland previously appeared in leaked emails concerning UFO declassification (2016 Clinton campaign (Podesta)).
The FBI and multiple agencies are conducting searches, but the approach is remarkably low-profile. He emphasizes that this is no ordinary disappearance, given the general's background.
The case has received little attention in mainstream media, which makes many viewers particularly suspicious.
