Some of the people on the list shared work on, or access to, a secret aerospace, UFO-related or nuclear programme, which is what connects them.

**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Two pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- A named programme, contract or compartment with several of them on it.
- Confirmation from an employer or the Air Force that Reza worked under McCasland.

## What would rule it out

- The employment histories of the people on the list, set side by side, show no common programme.
