Notes
- Missing since 27 Feb 2026. Disappeared from his home near Albuquerque, leaving his phone, glasses and wearables; a .38 revolver was also left behind. Silver Alert; FBI coordinated the search. His wife rejected suggestions it relates to UFO knowledge. (Liberation Times)
- Listed in the Missing scientists pattern inquiry. Sheriff: "no evidence indicating foul play."
- Status as of 2026-09-26: unresolved per that source. Check for updates before relying on this.
- Wright-Patterson is where Roswell debris was reportedly sent, which is why his name draws attention.
