Would-be UFO whistleblower died of accidental drug overdose after agreeing to testify to Congress

An Air Force veteran who agreed to testify before Congress about secret government UFO programs died just months before the hearings of an accidental drug overdose, The Post has learned.

Matthew James Sullivan, 39, died at his home in Falls Church, Va., on May 12, 2024 from a lethal mix of alcohol, alprazolam, cyclobenzaprine and imipramine, according to the Northern District Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Alprazolam is generic Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication; cyclobenzaprine is a powerful prescription muscle relaxant that works on the central nervous system; imipramine is a drug for children used to treat anxiety and bedwetting.

The mysterious death is of “grave concern” to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), who referred the matter for investigation to the FBI due to “implications for national security,” according to a letter obtained by The Post.

“Mr. Sullivan’s death was a local Virginia medical examiner case, and the manner and circumstances of
his of death raise substantial questions, as he was preparing to provide testimony to Congress,” the April 16 letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel read.

“The sudden and suspicious circumstances surrounding his death raise significant concerns about potential foul play and the safety of other individuals involved in this matter.”

Trove of leaked documents prove US lab where missing scientists worked was studying UFOs, documentary claims

A trove of documents from the now-dead cybersecurity chief of Los Alamos National Laboratory — where two of the 11 missing or dead US scientists worked — purport to show that the US government secretly conducted UFO-related experiments for decades, according to a new documentary.

Reporter Jeremy Corbell claims in the upcoming flick “Sleeping Dog” that he received the valuable classified documents from the son of the deceased ex-cybersecurity chief at the highly secretive New Mexico lab.

“Throughout my work as a journalist, I have become a central clearinghouse for sensitive [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena] material in my reporting,” Corbell said to The Post.

“It is now routine for families of deceased insiders to contact me with hidden documents their loved ones left behind,” he said.

“This kid, after his dad passed away, starts going through [his effects] and realizes, ‘Oh, this is some heavy stuff,” Corbell said in the documentary, which was previewed by The Post.

“I start noticing, I know some of the names. I know some of the scientists personally. They’ve never told me that they did these studies on UFOs,” said Corbell.

UFO researcher’s chilling final warning before grisly death adds to growing conspiracy fears

The death of a prominent UFO researcher has triggered conspiracy theories after it was ruled he took his own life.

David Wilcock, 53, died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound outside his home in Boulder County, Colorado, on April 20, the coroner’s office confirmed on Wednesday.

Police responded to a 911 call about a man, reported at the time as being Wilcock, ‘experiencing a mental health crisis’ around 10.44am local time.

‘Within minutes of deputies’ arrival, he used the weapon on himself. He was pronounced deceased at the scene,’ the sheriff’s office added.

No other individuals were located inside the residence or on the surrounding property, authorities added.

Wilcock, who also tied his theories on UFOs to Christianity, previously posted on social media about not being suicidal and had spoken hours earlier about believing that a death from natural causes was the only acceptable way of dying. 

‘You don’t get to resurrect. If you lay down your life, you’re done. So, please don’t do that. Please don’t be stupid,’ Wilcock said in an April 19 livestream on YouTube.

‘It’s something you never want to have to go through. And uh again, you know, natural is the only way to go.’

In 2022, Wilcock, who also talked about humanity moving towards a spiritual enlightenment, wrote on X: ‘I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.’ 

That unearthed post has been flooded with new comments from skeptics alleging without evidence that he was murdered or coerced into taking his own life. 

Wilcock was a well-known figure within the growing community seeking full government disclosure on UFOs and extraterrestrials.

The author explored topics most people consider ‘fringe’ or alternative science, including the theory that ancient civilizations were influenced by aliens and used advanced technology that has been lost over the centuries.

He was a regular expert on the History Channel’s long-running show Ancient Aliens, making dozens of appearances.

Wilcock also promoted the idea that humanity was on the verge of a major positive spiritual ‘ascension’ that would likely coincide with the disclosure of alien life.

The UFO researcher and author’s reported suicide sparked immediate backlash from Wilcock’s supporters and even members of Congress, who found the timing of his death suspicious and claimed he may have been the victim of foul play. 

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett responded to a social media post announcing Wilcock’s death by writing ‘not cool.’

On Wednesday, Burchett told the Daily Mail: ‘I just don’t think there’s any chance that this is just all coincidental.’

Pentagon Spokesperson Christopher Sherwood Emails on UFOs, UAP, and more

A newly released collection of Department of Defense records centers on internal email communications tied to Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood and references to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The material stems from a targeted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking insight into how UAP-related terminology and issues were discussed within the Pentagon’s public affairs apparatus.

The request specifically sought “a copy of all emails, sent to and/or from (bcc’d and cc’d) Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood… with the following keywords/phrases,” including “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon,” “UAP,” and “UAPs” . The scope was narrowly defined, focusing on a single individual and a set of keywords that became increasingly prominent within Department of Defense communications in the late 2010s. Sherwood primarily responded to UAP related questions from the media, even those from The Black Vault, back around this time frame. He was later replaced in those duties by Susan Gough, for reasons unknown.

Sherwood served as a Pentagon spokesperson within the Department of Defense’s public affairs structure. In that role, communications involving Sherwood typically relate to media inquiries, official messaging, and coordination of public statements on defense-related topics.

Famous UFO Researcher David Wilcock Dead from ‘Apparent Suicide’ TWO DAYS After Posting Video Warning About How it’s ‘Scary’ that ‘Scientists Are Going Missing,’ Previously Posted About How He’s Not Suicidal

Prominent UFO researcher, Ancient Aliens personality, and bestselling author David Wilcock was found dead Monday in an apparent suicide outside his home in Boulder County, Colorado.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a press release that deputies responded to a 911 call to the 1400 block of Ridge Road, where Wilcock resided, around 10:44 a.m. on April 20, regarding a possible mental health crisis.

When deputies arrived at approximately 11:02 a.m., they encountered a male subject outside a residence holding a weapon.

The man then used the weapon on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The release did not name Wilcock, citing the need to notify next of kin, but many were quick to note that this is the exact block he lived on.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna subsequently confirmed Wilcock’s passing on X, writing, “We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock. We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted.”

Read the chilling texts UFO-linked scientist sent before being found dead that raise major questions over suicide ruling

The deaths and disappearances of eleven top scientists have mystified the nation, with President Donald Trump and senior members of Congress demanding answers and vowing to uncover whether the cases are connected.

Now, chilling claims have come to light about the death of Amy Eskridge, a 34-year-old researcher working on anti-gravity technology, who was found with a gunshot to the head.

She died in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022, and her death was ruled a suicide. But four years on, newly uncovered text messages raise chilling questions about what really happened.

Franc Milburn, a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer who claims to have been in contact with Eskridge before her death, shared messages he says she sent him. 

One dated May 13, 2022, read: ‘If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not.’

Milburn told the Daily Mail that Eskridge – as well as some of her colleagues involved in advanced propulsion and energy research – had been subjected to what he described as a sustained campaign of harassment and intimidation designed to derail their work.

He also said he spoke with the young scientist just four hours before her death and noticed nothing unusual.

‘She said, “Everything’s fine, Franc, I’m feeling okay.” She sent me, and others, emails and LinkedIn messages saying, ‘If anything happens to me – suicide or an accident – it wasn’t, it’s suspicious, treat it as such,’ Milburn claimed.

Eskridge also purportedly told Milburn she believed she had been the target of repeated physical and psychological attacks – claims he says he documented and is now making public.

Death of Air Force whistleblower set to reveal UFO secrets declared ‘suspicious’

A former US Air Force intelligence officer died before he could testify in a whistleblower hearing about UFOs, sparking demands for an FBI investigation.

Matthew James Sullivan was just 39 when he died on May 12, 2024 after reportedly taking his own life. However, his official cause of death has not been made public, nor was the case reported on by local media at the time.

Now, Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri has told the Daily Mail that Sullivan was preparing to be a key witness for congressional investigators looking into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs.

Burlison shared he had ‘grave concerns’ that Sullivan’s death appears ‘suspicious,’ suggesting that the veteran intelligence officer may have been targeted to silence him before revealing knowledge of non-human spacecraft and extraterrestrials. 

‘Look at Matthew Sullivan’s credentials and his experience. He certainly was someone who was read in at the highest classification levels and knew some of our nation’s most important secrets,’ Burlison explained. ‘And so did a lot of these other people.’ 

The congressman explained that an investigation by the Intelligence Community Inspector General uncovered ‘serious allegations of misconduct and potentially unlawful activities’ which pointed to the 39-year-old’s death not being a suicide.

Burlison said: ‘The fact that he had been scheduled by the UAP Task Force. That he had been scheduled to come and speak… After hearing about this tragedy, I felt it was worth looking into.’ 

On Thursday, he made a formal request to FBI Director Kash Patel to have agents investigate Sullivan’s death as a potential crime.

‘The sudden and suspicious circumstances surrounding his death raise significant concerns about potential foul play and the safety of other individuals involved in this matter,’ Burlison wrote in a letter to the FBI shared with the Daily Mail.

Trump Promises Major UFO File Releases ‘Very, Very Soon’ After Finding ‘Many Interesting Documents’

President Donald Trump teased the imminent release of government documents on UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) during a speech on Friday at a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trump said he recently directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to begin declassifying the files.

“I recently directed the Secretary of War … to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena,” Trump told the crowd. “And I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people–– you’re really into that, I don’t know if I am.”

The president added that the review process is already well underway and has uncovered notable material.

“This process was well underway, and we’ve found many interesting documents, I must say, and the first releases will begin very, very soon,” the president stated.

UFO cluster spotted over mysterious base tied to missing Air Force scientist

A massive cluster of unknown flying objects was spotted near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a military installation long rumored to be linked to UFO activity.

Witnesses near the Ohio base captured the craft on April 8, showing a silent triangle of glowing lights moving in perfect formation before splitting apart mid-flight.

The lights appeared to drift slowly downward, flickering, pulsing and changing brightness individually as they hovered in the night sky.

Reports described the sighting as having ‘no sound, no standard navigation lights, movement unlike any known aircraft, drone swarm or satellite.’

The video was reportedly taken from Rainbow Lakes, a 60-acre outdoor recreational retreat in Fairborn, about four miles from the base.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) has drawn renewed attention in recent months, as its research laboratory was previously led by retired Major General William Neil McCasland, who disappeared earlier this year.

McCasland, 68, went missing from his New Mexico home on February 28, reportedly leaving with only hiking boots and a .38-caliber revolver.

He led the Air Force Research Laboratory from May 2011 until his retirement in 2013, a facility long associated in UFO lore with alleged materials recovered after the 1947 Roswell incident.

WPAFB leads development in aerospace technology, advanced materials, sensors, human performance and AI.

The Daily Mail has contacted WPAFB for comment on the video.

The clip has flooded social media, where users are debating whether the lights are extraterrestrials or parachutists with flares.

One user on X claimed the lights were ‘non-human intelligent orbs,’ while another user on Reddit shared: ‘This is exactly what it looks like when parachuters have flares attached as they’re falling.’

‘I agree that is what this looks like. A free-fall team, whether it be military or civilian, gets into their final descent stack after their chutes have already deployed,’ a Redditor shared.

‘My issue with this is that the cloud ceiling is super low. If this is a training jump, this low a ceiling would cause it to get pushed or canceled. 

‘Obviously, it is hard to get an ideal grasp on everything since the video is short and in low light. That said, it looks like we lose visual on the flares intermittently as they pass through the clouds.’

Another Redditor joked, saying, ‘They’re coming for more scientists,’ likely referring to McCasland, who managed the Air Force’s $2.2 billion science and technology program along with additional customer-funded research.

Scientists Can’t Seem To Stop Going Missing Under Mysterious Circumstances

Ten U.S. researchers and scientists have reportedly died or disappeared over the past 33 months amid increasing speculation about the cause of some of the disappearances.

Steven Garcia, a 48-year-old government contractor who allegedly had top-level clearance at a key nuclear facility disappeared in August 2025 after reportedly leaving behind his phone, wallet and keys, taking a gun and leaving his home in New Mexico on foot, NewsNation reported Thursday. Moreover, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland similarly went missing on Feb. 27 after leaving his home in Albuquerque on foot, the outlet reported.

Eight other well-known scientists and researchers in the U.S. have reportedly died or gone missing over the past few years, raising questions about whether some of these cases might involve suspicious circumstances. However, U.S. officials have not identified any definitive connection between the cases, according to an April 9 Newsweek report.

Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), who Garcia served as a contractor for, produces 80% of the non-nuclear material part of the U.S.’ nuclear weapons, The Daily Mail reported, citing an anonymous source.

“Over the past year, 10 different US specialists, ranging from scientists working on aerospace, nuclear and UAP research have all gone missing. Most of the cases have been labelled as old person wandering off, or disappearing when hiking,” professor and independent journalist Adam Cochran wrote in a Tuesday X post responding to the Daily Mail’s story. “But it’s way too many to be a coincidence especially when many of them worked together, and all happened to work on top US secrets…”

During a Wednesday press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about whether the U.S. government is planning to investigate the spate of reported disappearances and deaths.

“There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid-2024,” the reporter said. “They all reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material. Is anybody investigating this to see if these things are connected?”
