Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is raising concerns about nearly a dozen scientists associated with top-secret space research who have recently died or gone missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very unlikely that this is a coincidence,\u201d he told Fox News on Monday. \u201cSo, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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 \u201cthere\u2019s a high possibility that something sinister is taking place here.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them were very important people, and we are going to look at it over the next short period,\u201d\u00a0Trump said<\/a>. \u201cI hope it\u2019s random, but we\u2019re going to know in the next week and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most recent of the 11 known scientists to go missing is retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, who vanished on February 27. McCasland was reportedly linked to top-secret government programs that involved information regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist. No stone will be unturned in this effort, and the White House will provide updates when we have them,\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week.<\/p>\n
