Fresh details have surfaced in the June 2025 disappearance of rocket scientist Monica Reza, adding another layer to the expanding list of mysterious cases involving specialists in high-level aerospace and nuclear programs.
The development follows reporting on anti-gravity researcher Amy Eskridge, whose 2022 death was added as the eleventh such incident tied to U.S. space, nuclear and UFO-related work.
Podcaster and reporter Lauren Conlin posted the new information on X, writing: “NEW INFO on Missing Rocket Scientist Monica Reza, who co-patented high-strength burn resistant and metal alloys. Before her June 2025 disappearance, however… she was training to be a yoga instructor, per a source (involved with the studio). The yoga studio incorporated astrology and Vedic sciences into their practice.”
Conlin continued: “The source confirmed that Reza was hiking with a male and female companion from her yoga group when she vanished. The source then revealed that Reza and her male companion oddly began running on the terrain, which is uncommon given how steep and uneven it is, particularly on the downhill sections.”
She added, “The source again described this as unusual- this would not be a place to go running, even as a skilled hiker. The male companion confirmed Reza was behind him, reportedly running, when he eventually called out to her and received no response.”
“He later showed others the location where he last saw her. The source noted that from that spot, the road was both visible and audible, suggesting Reza was relatively close to a more accessible area when she disappeared. Strange,” the post concludes.

Reza, who worked with Aerojet Rocketdyne and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, co-patented advanced burn-resistant metal alloys critical for next-generation rocket engines. She was last seen on June 22, 2025, hiking near Mount Waterman in the Angeles National Forest.
Fox News, host Will Cain appeared onThe Storywith Martha MacCallum to examine the broader pattern, listing multiple cases including Reza, retired Air Force General William N. McCasland, and others linked to the Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA JPL and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
