Scientist Dead or Alive and the UAP Problem

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2140536/fan_mail/new] The news of top scientist missing, or dead is a very concerning and a peculiar bit of a media frenzy right now.  The deep take on these stories is both mysterious, and ripe with conspiracy theories abound...what is the take?   It this episode we tackle many different angles, from news headlines, conspiracy theories, and connections to the UAP foray happening.  How, why are some of our top minds vanishing and or dying...not only in the US, but other countries say they are also experiencing strange scientists casualties...should we be worried or is it just a mere coincidence.   Latest news is the US Government is launching an investigation...wait to find out!!! So, please keep in mind, this information may be sensitive to some people, please take care of yourselves, and each other.  If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, in the US call #988, if you are in other parts of the world seek out resources!!!!    Thank you for listening to our podcast, we really appreciate the listens!!  Please share the show!  Thank you!!!
