[NewsNation] The Feb. 27 disappearance of a retired Air Force major general with a vast institutional knowledge about UFOs is a "grave national security crisis," says investigative journalist Ross Coulthart.
William Neil McCasland, 68, was reported missing after leaving his Albuquerque, N.M., home on foot, according to local authorities, who have teamed up with the FBI to find the former military official.
To Coulthart, the way McCasland vanished — reportedly along a running trail without his watch and phone — suggests something nefarious.
He said McCasland was known to be mentally and physically fit. The retiree is also considered a trove of information about whatever secrets the government may be hiding about UFOs; "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAPs); and nonhuman intelligent life.
"This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head," Coulthart, NewsNation special correspondent, says in the latest edition of his "Reality Check" podcast.
During his tenure in the Air Force, McCasland oversaw classified space weapons programs and was head of research at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, Coulthart notes. That facility has long been rumored to house fragments of extraterrestrial debris from Roswell, N.M.
Coulthart said he finds it interesting McCasland’s disappearance comes shortly after President Donald Trump promised disclosure about whatever files the government holds on UFOs and alien life. In recent years, he said, McCasland was seen as being sympathetic to the idea of educating the public about those classified topics.
"The timing is screechingly relevant," Coulthart said. "The fact that Gen. Neil McCasland has disappeared off the face of the earth is a grave national security crisis for the United States of America. This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head."

The FBI's Secret Stash Finally Uncovered
[RacketNews] For a generation, the FBI has kept a second set of books called 'prohibited access' files. After a long fight, they're finally being examined.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible "prohibited access" file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.
"This is it — the deep state," one of the sources said.
Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.
"If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ’Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark," he said. "I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging — which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do — so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous."
Files given a prohibited access designation are not merely secret. They are "ghosts" which "do not exist," records rigged to return false negatives when searched for in the FBI’s SENTINEL system. They’re digital descendants of paper records that as far back as Richard Nixon’s presidency were kept in locked offices, accessible to just a few officials, typically at the deputy director level and above. Currently, the number of people with the ability to access the files can be counted on one hand.
