7 scientists tied to NASA, Los Alamos, and defense research dead or missing — Pat Gray reacts
Conspiracy theories are swirling after several prominent U.S. scientists and defense researchers with ties to classified aerospace, nuclear, and UFO projects died or mysteriously vanished under suspicious circumstances in recent years.
Rumors about cover-ups, assassinations, and even stranger theories are ramping up, and now even mainstream outlets are beginning to take notice.
On a recent episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat, Keith Malinak, and Jeffy watched and reacted to a recent segment from Fox News host Will Cain, who laid out seven of the most striking cases and asked the obvious question: Are these incidents connected, or is this just a tragic coincidence?
Cain presented the following cases of scientists and defense researchers who died or disappeared under suspicious circumstances:
- Carl Grillmair: Caltech astrophysicist who worked on a NASA-supported space telescope project and infrared systems; “shot and killed at his home just two months ago.”
- Frank Maiwald: Senior scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab; “died nearly two years ago, but his cause of death has never been made public.”
- Monica Reza: NASA/JPL-connected aerospace scientist; disappeared while hiking in California last summer.
- William McCasland: Retired Air Force major general who formerly commanded the Air Force Research Lab and oversaw classified aerospace R&D; vanished from his home in February 2026. He had a direct professional connection to Monica Reza through funding her earlier materials research project.
- Melissa Casias: Worked an administrative role at Los Alamos National Lab with security clearances; has been “missing since last summer.”
- Anthony Chavez: Longtime Los Alamos National Laboratory employee; disappeared while out for a walk in May 2025.
- Nuno Loureiro: MIT plasma and fusion physicist; shot and killed in December 2025 at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, after answering the doorbell.
Cain noted the overlap in their sensitive research ties, pointing out the same handful of institutions — NASA, Air Force Research, Los Alamos Laboratory — and asked: “Could they be connected, or is this something else entirely?”
Pat calls the entire situation “bizarre” and reacts with his trademark skepticism. To hear his full take and what he thinks might really be going on, watch the episode above.

Public will soon be able to invest in ‘advanced or reverse-engineered alien technology’
An investment firm is banking on the theory that some companies have access to alien technology.
Firm Tuttle Capital calls itself “the antidote to Wall Street” and boasts a proprietary formula that strengthens its portfolio. Using the acronym HEAT — hedges, edges, asymmetry, themes — Tuttle might be leaning on its alleged proficiency in “big-picture trends” with its new exchange-traded fund, the UFO Disclosure AI Powered ETF.
Funds will also target materials and energy firms that could possibly benefit from ‘new energy sources or metamaterials inspired by alien technology.’
Tuttle’s new ETF — recently filed with the SEC — will invest at least 80% of its net assets in a “basket of companies” it believes have “exposure to advanced or ‘reverse-engineered’ alien technology, spurred by government disclosures about UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and alleged advanced technologies.”
While the companies are yet to be named, they are to include aerospace and defense contractors that “might have R&D programs rumored to work with classified technology, potentially leading to groundbreaking advancements.”

At the same time, funds will also target materials and energy firms that could possibly benefit from “new energy sources or metamaterials inspired by alien technology.”
For example, investments are set to be made in companies that work with semiconductors and electronics because they may “incorporate or license advanced alien-inspired components, driving innovation in the tech industry.”
The ETF will attempt to invest in companies that could take down more UFOs in the future as well. This is described in the SEC filing as companies that specialize in detecting unidentified anomalous phenomena, in addition to countering them.
The fund also plans on strategically shorting other companies that may become obsolete due to “alien-level” engineering emerging from their competitors. This includes, but is not limited to, “conventional propulsion firms and old-guard energy providers” that may fall behind due to advanced technologies.

“I’m a trader. I look at [UFOs], and I say that they’re using a power source that is light-years beyond anything that we have,” CEO Matthew Tuttle said, according to the Financial Times. “If our government has this technology and it’s released, that will be a game-changer.”
As described in the official documents, the entire “theme” the fund is banking on is regarded as “highly speculative and subject to rumor cycles.”
This comes with the stated risk that “government confirmation or denial of advanced alien tech is uncertain, and rumored breakthroughs might never materialize.”
