38 years of service. The wrong universities. The right physics. A 1998 observation from the cockpit of a military tanker. And a two-page document that might be the key to everything.
Really enjoying your reporting on this. Keep up the great work. On the notebook page image, the item in the top left is a holiday gift sticker that was published in Highlights Magazine, a children’s magazine. Not sure which year, but it caught my attention as an oddity.
Thank you for confirming that someone I know was actually interacting with the general on X! His analysis of timing etc and scope of work posted, left little room to speculate but ya'll just destroyed whatever doubt remained!
Dr. Ning Li (1943–2021), a Chinese American physicist whose "disappearance" from public life in the early 2000s sparked widespread conspiracy theories.
Who was Dr. Ning Li?
Scientific Research: Dr. Li was a researcher at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, renowned for her pioneering work in anti-gravity and high-temperature superconductors.
The "Disappearance": In 1999, she left the university to found a private company, AC Gravity LLC, and received a Department of Defense grant in 2001. Shortly after, she stopped publishing papers and speaking at conferences, leading to rumors that she had been "disappeared" by the U.S. government or had defected to China to work on their space program
The Truth Behind the Mystery
The mystery was largely clarified by her son, George Men, in a 2023 interview with the Huntsville Business Journal:
Top Secret Work: Dr. Li had obtained a top-secret security clearance and continued her research for the U.S. Department of Defense in total secrecy, which is why she "vanished" from the public scientific community.
Tragic Accident: In 2014, she was struck by a vehicle on the University of Alabama campus, resulting in permanent brain damage and Alzheimer's disease.
Death: She passed away in Huntsville, Alabama, on July 27, 2021, at the age of 78.
The TMB account feels like it’s breadcrumbing insider info. Like the poster is letting us know what is not only possible but what DoD/DoE is already capable of…a warning perhaps. Have you seen the bizarro song his wife produced in 2020?!
Curious, physics and engineering is very foreign to me but I’d like to see a popular commentator pick this up. What about that young Netflix guys who creates amazing STEM project shows with physics, engineering to win arcade fair games, pools of jello, and sky high balloons & elephant foam? He’ll know someone to bring it into the limelight.
What do we think about the suicide speculation? That he took a handgun when he left. That he knew the terrain well enough to pick a concealed location where his body could not easily be located. That he may have been under duress for reasons we can only speculate on. This is a narrative was being pushed in an article I read recently as a "reasonable" explanation. However, nothing else I've read indicated that he had been experiencing aby reported psychological stress prior to his disappearance. It has me wondering but I'm m very far from convinced.
Also, can you elaborate on the date the account was created on X versus the date he left the military for private defense contracting please?
We don’t want to speculate on the situation because we have such little evidence but: Suicides produce a body. BCSO had FLIR in the air and 600+ homes canvassed. A body in the foothills gets found. The institutional response tells us what they think they're looking for, and it doesn’t seem to be remains.
On the timeline: the account was created November 2022. McCasland left active duty in 2013. Nine-year gap. He went straight into private defense contracting and was still embedded in the Kirtland ecosystem when the account appeared.
Only 96 likes? This world is done for. Bring on regulus A and the Sphinx at Easter… asap. It’s coming. No one can stop it. Not even THEM. excellent page and twitter. Thank you for your service to humanity 🙏🏽
So he leaves behind his tracking devices and heads into the wild. After several days there is no trace of him, despite low odds he would survive in that environment.
What makes most sense is that he turned around and went back to civilization to be picked up by a car. Driven by humans.
AFIT: Air Force Institute of Technology is a venue for Officers to complete higher education (MS, PhD, Post Doctoral) while on active duty and being paid by the United States Air Force. Most attend AFIT at Wright Patterson AFB but not all do. Many complete their work at MIT, Oxford, etc… a friend did his MS/PhD at MIT before heading off to what became Space Force.
What was General McCasland up to(where was he, what general info about his life is available, what was happening in the physics, aerospace, military circles, etc.)in 2022 when the account was created/began posting?
Good shit. Ashton's here, too. Been hella overhead late night and early morning choppers doing grids over the house and foothills the last couple nights. I really hope the general, turns up alive for the good guys.

Connection to the recently killed MIT scientist, Nuno Loureiro?

It’s a Hi-K dielectric, not a “thick” dielectric. Hi-K means high dielectric constant (K).

Maybe he got tired of the 'classified' bullshit.

Excellent question
Gotta say his wife’s statement about all these theories did not make me less suspicious as I’m sure she was hoping.
Suspect a related incident of the December 2025 murder of plasma physicist Loureiro is somehow connected to this one?
