Monday on the social media platform X, NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens confirmed that the space agency has begun “coordinating and cooperating” with federal investigators looking into the recent deaths and disappearances of leading scientists and others with connections to their research.
“At this time, nothing related to NASA indicates a national security threat,” Stevens added. “The agency is committed to transparency and will provide more information as able.”
Last week, Fox News’ Peter Doocy raised the issue with White House press secretaryKaroline Leavitt.
“There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid-2024,” Doocy said in a short clip shared by Stevens on X. “They all reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material.”
Doocy then asked if the deaths and disappearances had caught the attention of President Donald Trump’s administration.
“Is anybody investigating this to see if these things are connected?” Doocy asked.
Leavitt replied that she did not know about an investigation, but would get Doocy an answer as soon as possible.
