Conspiracy theory over UFOs and missing scientists spreads from web to White House
A conspiracy theory alleging a nefarious link between the disappearances and deaths of at least 11 US scientists with space, defense, or nuclear research ties, UFOs, and hostile foreign actors has spread from social media to right-wing outlets, the U.S. Congress, and the White House, prompting calls for investigations from Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. Experts and family members of the missing scientists note there is no evidence supporting the claims, which align with longstanding UFO lore and are amplified by modern social media disinformation.
