Did the people on the list work on a common programme or share access to the same secret?

Asked 29 Oct 2026 by ·Part of Are the deaths and disappearances on the list connected?·3 answers·0·0 following
Three answers, none aheadNone is ahead yet. See what would settle it.

Where it stands

Three answers have been proposed. None is ahead on the evidence yet. Three are still possible.

Why it matters

The idea that they were silenced for "what they saw or discovered" needs something they had in common to see or discover. Each person's reported job, employer and clearance can be set against the links that are claimed: the Air Force Research Laboratory, UFO or "anti-gravity" research, Los Alamos, JPL and Huntsville⁠[1]⁠[2].

  1. Look for any document, contract or named colleague confirming the reported Reza–McCasland "close professional connection"; so far it rests on an unattributed post of 18 March and a New York Post report of 21 March 2026.
