Top Republican Says 11 Dead, Missing US Scientists ‘National Security Threat’

“It’s very unlikely that this is a coincidence,” he told Fox News on Monday. “So, Congress is very concerned about this. Our committee is making this one of our priorities now because we view this as a national security threat.”

At least eleven U.S. scientists have gone missing or died over the past several years, each involved in highly secretive space research. Comer stated that “there’s a high possibility that something sinister is taking place here.”

Americans and U.S. lawmakers have raised concerns about recent disappearances, bringing the issue to public attention. President Donald Trump addressed these concerns on Thursday, stating he attended a meeting regarding the disappearances and promised to investigate the matter.

“Some of them were very important people, and we are going to look at it over the next short period,” Trump said. “I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half.”
