Notice, notice, this midweek mini was recorded several months ago and may not be up to date with current events.
For fresh minisode uploads with every episode, head to patreon.com slash Chaluminati pod.
To minisode.
Little Chulaminawit, Minnesota, too, whatever it is.
I don't know anymore.
I have stopped counting minisodes.
And soon, I think, stop counting main episode numbers, too.
Why does it remind you the passing of time?
Yeah.
You know,
I already deal with it.
I know,
our birthdays are coming up,
Jesse.
Our passage of time
memories is already
coming,
you know,
it's already thinking about the
passage of time.
You guys have the same birthday?
Same month.
My birthday is a reminder
of my
ageless grace.
It's true.
You are immortal.
Yeah.
My birthday's a reminder
of French independence.
Weirdly.
Strange.
Weird correlation.
I mean,
it's just,
it just has to do
with the,
date really more than anything. Yeah. I got one for you that I want to read that's so good.
I've been doing these. I've been pulling some crazy stories off Reddit lately and I've been having
a grand time and trying to top myself each time with something weirder and weirder and it has to
be from within the last few days. And I found a good one. It's pretty good. This is from Art,
nymphet. Sorry. This one is called, this is on our paranormal. It's called actually, I'm not even going to read
it because it basically tells the whole story in like one sentence and I don't want that to happen.
And I'll send it to you in a minute.
I'm posting this because I'd really like to hear different opinions about this.
A couple nights ago, my boyfriend was arriving home late at night.
His house is right next to a hillside, Mexico.
It's just in parentheses.
As he was getting close, he saw something in front of the hill that scared him.
He described it as a small white creature.
around 30 to 40 centimeters tall,
running on two legs that bent in a way similar to a goat's,
no visible tail,
and it moved quickly before disappearing into the hillside.
He's familiar with the area
and says he has never seen something like that.
We tried to rationalize it.
Dog, something sick, other animals, etc.,
but nothing really matched what he described.
The strange part is what happened the next day.
out of curiosity he went back to the exact same spot during daylight to look around and he found a stone statue photo attached
this statue was not there before at least not a few months ago he knows the area well and is sure
he would have noticed it now we don't know what to think it could be a coincidence somebody
placed there recently or maybe it's something cultural or symbolic we're not aware of has anyone
seen anything like this before
and does this statue look familiar
to anyone?
And so, of course,
I'm going to send you this image.
So you guys got to see this
first of all. I need to see it. Yeah.
Where? How do I get back?
I'll wait. I'll wait and save my questions.
I have so many questions.
Here's the object.
Okay.
So that's first things first.
That's some Cthulu video game
ass statue. Yeah.
Yeah.
somebody suggests that he consult with elders in a specific area
said somebody might know something about it
somebody else wrote like a huge thing that ties it to
this ink artifact here let me pull up this page
it is currently making sure I'm a human probably because I pirate so much
old video games uh you would never he says
it looks similar to stuff on this page
I don't know that I even agree
But they're trying to say that it's Inca in origin
I don't know
It doesn't look very inkin
That's what I'm saying
There's also some Mayan statues
That maybe he thinks it looks like on this page here
That you can see
Oh
That didn't work
There we go
And yeah
I think he at least believes it's Mesoamerican
Or something like that
This guy also then goes into that he like took his research and put it into chat GPT.
So I wouldn't get too much benefit of a doubt.
Never mind.
But I did want to share this comment with you guys because I thought this one was really good based on what we were just talking about in the Crendor episode.
Just because I thought it just reminded me of the melon heads.
It just reminded me the melon heads.
Little guys.
They're just little creepy guys.
Apparently they're from the ministry of latent places on TikTok.
Apparently it's AI generated.
They're little cuties though.
I'm just hanging out.
Unfortunately, yeah, like everything that appears now is just AI generated and it's just ruining everything.
I get I, it just, it's, it sucks to be like, I'm getting, there are there some videos I just can't tell unless it's specifically pointed out to me.
They are even infiltrating stuff that interests me.
Like, I found the other day, um, like early PlayStation RPG music, but jazz.
And I was like, no.
Oh, amazing.
I started listening to it.
And I was like, this is so good.
This album's fantastic.
And then I scrolled down to the description.
It was AI generated.
And I was like, no.
That's crazy, dude.
That's a cool ass statue, though.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I've never heard a story like that.
I thought that was pretty cool.
The idea of it that it's like a fucking demon inside of a rock statue.
Had to share.
Had to.
I was just so excited.
So there you go.
Another one from our paranormal files.
I've got a chunky one.
so I don't know, maybe Jesse, you want to start?
Sure.
Mine is mostly for you, Mathis.
Okay.
Because we have now updated for 2026,
the National UFO Reporting Center and Canada Sports Betting has released the highest likelihood of being abducted by UFOs based on state.
All right.
And it's back.
I love an updated list.
So apparently the frequency, missing time reports, and podcast.
population density are all factors.
There are many more.
But these are basically rankings on the states that if you want to go,
oh, I think this is based off 187,000 sightings and possible abductions.
And these are all odds of implied abductions based on this information.
So the number one place to get abducted according to Canada Sports Betting and the UFO Reporting Center
is Delaware.
That is not where I would have ever thought.
What the fuck?
Why?
I think because the population's so low
that everybody's just getting abducted
you have a higher chance of being abducted
because it's such a low population.
One abduction in Delaware
goes as far as a thousand abductions in California.
Pretty much it, yeah.
Number two, Washington State
frequent sightings in the North,
Pacific Northwest are huge factor in this one.
The next one, which is very surprised.
but maybe because the number of people who see things is higher, New York.
Yeah, I can see that.
If there's, if there's like a competition between what's the craziest place in America,
it's probably between New York and Los Angeles, right?
I feel like that.
Yeah, I absolutely would agree.
And I just feel like the fact that New York is like UFO capital, like,
I feel like a lot of people think they're seeing UFOs in New York, regardless of what they are or not.
Yeah.
And there's a lot of people.
special in the city who see it and if multiple people register it, that's, that counts as more than one.
Right.
Then back the Pacific Northwest.
Oregon is number four.
Then in a shocker that I don't think shocks anyone.
Number five, your favorite state in mine, Florida.
Oh, all right.
It's just actual drones that they're seeing, though.
That's a weird thing.
No, I'm just kidding.
And then we jump back to the northeast.
with New Hampshire. Then we jump back to the west with Idaho.
New Hampshire is so weird to me. Then we jump back to the east with Vermont. We stay in the east
with Maine. And then we go back to Montana rounding us out at number 10.
Damn. Not the, not the group that I would have expected, but I honestly don't remember how
similar it was to last year's. So basically what we're at right now is the northeast for sure,
the northwest for sure, and Florida.
Yep.
That's it, baby.
Damn, all right.
Well, mine's also alien related.
It's a bit of a chunky one.
We're good to move on to that for a quick.
Let's go, yeah.
So other than the bigger news of like, I don't have you seen, but J.D.
Vance on camera in an interview said he's interested in aliens and he thinks they're demons.
Like, great.
That's so embarrassing, man.
It's so embarrassing.
Bill Maher now is also out on Twitter and on his show saying, if you don't believe aliens are here and observing us, maybe you're the conspiracy theorist.
And he's like, super fending that shit.
That, like, discredits aliens a little bit.
A little bit.
I think Bill Maher is a fucking.
Oh, he's a fucking idiot.
But the thing that's like picking up, like, I don't say picking up steam because it's not becoming apparent.
The disappearing scientist thing has been.
This is weirding me out a little.
What do you mean?
Disappearing scientists.
We're going to go over it.
The number of scientists over the past year, a little over there now, has accumulated up to
eight with the most recent one from a month and a half.
a half ago. So let's just start the start. I'm not going to be huge or anything like that.
We have eight cases of missing scientists starting with one found or dead. One being found dead
July 4th of 2024, Frank Mywald. He was a prominent researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
since 99 and was working on multiple projects tied to advanced satellite technology that could
scan Earth and other planets. He died on July 4th, 2024 in Los Angeles at 61, but the cause of
death has never been made public and officials confirmed an autopsy was never performed.
He managed the development of the SBGVSWIR instrument and had previously overseen the
successful delivery of two instruments for the AMRC program, which was working on projects
including a bunch of letters that I don't know what they mean.
The JPL and NASA connection to Monica Reza, which is another case, is something that kind
of lumped him into this.
So that's one, dead in July 4th, 2024, NASA scientist.
May 4th, 2025.
A former employee at Los Alamos
and National Laboratory
until he was working there
until his retirement in 2017,
Chavez vanished without a trace
on May 4th, 2025,
just seven weeks before another key employee
at the same lab disappeared.
He was a 78-year-old man
described as, quote,
very fit and slender, healthy and clear-headed,
last seen leaving his home
on 37th Street in Los Alamos on foot.
Chavez did not carry a cell phone
and records from his landline showed
he may he last made calls from his house on the evening of may 5th his banking activity also ceased
around that time and a friend described him as quote extremely mentally stable and a fair weather
hiker unlikely to have ventured out during the spring storms that hit the area
cadaver dogs and search teams that were sent out also found nothing the third person monica jacinto
raza missing since june 22nd 25 raza was a 60 year old aerospace engineer and former technical
fellow at Arrowjet Rocketdyne vanished while hiking near Mount Waterman in the Angeles National
Forest.
She was last seen around 9-10 a.m. waving to a companion on the Upper West Ridge Trail shortly
before disappearing.
She had recently moved to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Her significance is that Raza co-invented Mondoloy, a family of nickel-based super
alloys, now built into the engines replacing Russian-made rockets for American National
Security launches.
She held the patent.
Prior to the 1990s, U.S. engine makers couldn't develop oxygen-rich combustion cycle engines because
high-pressure gase oxygen would burn components.
She solved this with the nickel-based super alloy that could withstand gaseous oxygen without
excessive weight.
This alloy is a strategically critical alloy.
It's what's meant to end U.S. dependence on Russian RD-180 rocket engines.
A little weird detail that people point out is on June 26, 2025, four days after,
as it disappeared and three days before the official search was even suspended,
someone created a memorial page for her on Find a Grave listing,
on Find a Grave listing a Definitive Death Date of June 22, 2025,
and quote, green burial as the remains status.
A green burial requires a body to have been recovered,
placed in a biodegradable container, and put into the earth.
But nobody was ever found in the page was created by a contributor identified as Lillian,
whose profile is no longer publicly accessible.
An extensive search involving dozens of agencies, helicopters, dogs, and drones found no trace of Raysa.
This is like corner fest all over again.
Then two days later, Melissa Cassius, June 26, 2025 was an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory,
a facility founded by the Manhattan Project.
She has not been seen since January 26, 2025, when her family said she uncharacteristically decided to work from home,
but was last spotted miles from her house walking alone without her wallet, phone, or keys,
like the other guy.
She went missing just four days after Reza vanished.
Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker pointed to Kasi's role at LANL as a potential vulnerability.
Quote, in a classified lab or just a high clearance lab, they would basically be in the know on what's going on.
And it wouldn't be the first time their administrative assistant has been targeted.
Yep, I don't know what I mean the fuck take with that.
Then you have Nuno Liorero, who was murdered December 15th, 2025.
He was a Portuguese plasma physicist, the Herman Feshbach professor at physics at MIT,
and director of the MIT Plasma Science Infusion Center from 2024 until his murder.
He was shot at his residence in Brookline, Massachusetts on December 15, 2025.
His work was focused on nuclear fusion, potentially revolutionary and unlimited energy.
The killer, Claudio Manuel Neves Valenti, a Portuguese national, first committed a mass shooting at Brown University on December 13th, killing two students and wounding nine, then drove to Brookline and assassinated Lornero two days later.
We covered this one. Yeah, we covered this one.
Yeah, yeah.
He attended the same university program in Portugal as Lorero from 95 to 2000.
The killer went to the same school as him.
The killer.
graduating first in his class ahead of Lerreau.
Belente spent a full 12 hours in Lerero's neighborhood before the killing,
conducting what police described as, quote,
pre-operational surveillance, circling the street multiple times.
He disguised himself as a delivery driver with a yellow reflective vest.
He was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound
in a storage unit in New Hampshire.
In recorded confessions found an electronic device,
he admitted to planning the brown shooting for a long time,
but did not provide a motive for targeting Lerrero.
That's just one.
Then you got, we only two, three more to go.
Then you got Jason Thomas, who has found dead March 17th, 2026.
This was like literally a few weeks ago.
But he has been missing since December 12th, 2025.
Thomas had been the assistant director of chemical biology at Novartis,
a global pharmaceutical company before disappearing on December 12th, 2025.
The most evil sounding company.
Yeah, Novartis.
His work reportedly focused on using chemistry and biology
to discover and create new medicines,
including potential treatments for cancer.
Novartis has active contracts with the U.S. Department of War.
A body recovered from Lake Winna Powitt in Wakefield, Massachusetts on March 17th,
is believed to belong to Thomas.
The Wakefield Police Department said no foul play is currently suspected.
His wife said he'd been struggling with both his parents dying before he disappeared.
Then you have Carl Grillmare, who was murdered February 16, 2026.
Grillmare was a Canadian astronomer and astrophysicist, a research scientist at Caltech since 1997,
who studied exoplanets, galactic structure, and dark matter.
He worked on NASA telescope missions, including Hubble, Spitzer, and Wise, and discovered water on multiple exoplanets.
He was found shot on the French porch of his home in Lano, California, at 6.10 a.m.
A 29-year-old local man named Freddie Snyder was charged with the murder.
Snyder had been arrested in December after trespassing on
grill mayor's property while carrying a rifle.
Snyder lived two miles away and had a history of trespassing on his property.
No clear motive has been established.
And then the last one, which is the most recent one, the thing that kind of kicked all
this off, William Neal McCasland, who has been missing since February 27th, 2026.
What number is this now?
Eight.
This is the eighth one.
Hell, dude.
He is an astronautical engineer, retired USAF Major General, and former commander of the Air Force
Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
where he oversaw a 2.2 billion science and technology program.
He was last seen at his Albuquerque home at 11 a.m. on February 27th.
His phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices were located as residents,
just like the other two who walked away.
His hiking boots, wallet, and a 38 caliber revolver with leather holster were missing.
So like from here, in the 2016 WikiLeads Pedesta email dump,
Tom DeLong wrote to John Podesta about McCaslin,
saying, quote,
I've been working with him for four months.
He just has to say that out loud,
but he is very, very aware,
as he was in charge of all the stuff.
When Roswell crashed,
they shipped it to the laboratory
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
General McCaslin was in charge of that exact laboratory,
end quote.
Republican Congressman Eric Burlinson
said on the weaponized podcast
that, quote,
General McCaslin definitely is connected to the UAP topic.
We believe that he has a lot to say about the topic.
And then McCasland's disappearance came just six days
after Trump announced plans to release the government UAP files.
And that's it.
It's actually,
it's actually kind of fucked,
right?
It's all fucked.
What?
Okay.
People died mysteriously.
People,
uh,
so there's some new details all the time.
I guess I'm,
I'm wondering what the-
So there's ones that have died mysteriously and the ones that walked away.
What's interesting is in some new details came out,
uh,
saying the following that their Cassius personal and work phones were both found inside the home
and they were factory reset.
Like she had factory wiped them all and reset them before she left.
So she kind of walked away.
And then NASA JPL would neither confirm nor deny that Malwald had been employed there for decades,
despite records of his achievements listed on their website.
And a major research institution won't even acknowledge a dead employee existed.
Like they just won't even acknowledge that he was even there.
And then Malwald's final research in June of 2023, just 13 months before his death,
He was the lead research on a breakthrough that could help future space missions detect clear signs of life on other worlds, including Jupiter's moon Europa, Saturn's moon Enceladus or the dwarf planet Ceres.
And he was basically working on life detection tech before he disappeared as well.
And the Grill Mayor McCaslin has a connection apparently.
But again, the Grillmare one just seems like an upset neighbor that showed up to shoot him because he was crazy.
So what is the, like, what is the implication?
They all, they all, they all, the all the ones that walked away and disappeared worked for NASA.
And we're working in the same, like, group of research areas, like, propulsion, technology.
And they all, like, one of them factory set their phone and walked away.
The Casselin, who walked away, like, two and a half weeks ago was not, like, mentally ill.
He was going on weekly workout rides.
Like, he was, like, a normal, like, none of these people, like, seemed to be, like, like,
I guess going insane.
I don't know what the right word to use is.
And they're just vanishing.
Now,
other people are pulling in these other deaths and looping them in
and creating this string of eight scientists all within the NASA world
who were working or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and we're all working on the same stuff.
It's an unsettling notion.
Eight,
I'm,
I'm almost concerned it's a causation correlation situation.
I'm sure for some of these are.
There are people that die mysteriously all the time.
and eight people in all of NASA
that have many, many, many, many, many people in it
isn't a lot of people?
Yeah, would that be enough to cover it up?
Why are they being?
Like, there's a lot of, there's zero answers here.
You're just saying eight people died and like, isn't that weird?
The one that's, there's about three or four that are weird.
The eight in a, in a year, all from the same place is weird enough.
But like, I think the four of that, the one where the CIA director is like,
she discovered an alloy and like, they, they, people,
have gotten been gotten targeted for that shit before i don't the ones that are weird to me are the
ones that like put their phones down left their phones and like just walked out of their homes
like completely no indication from their family living normal lives in connection talking
with their families like the families just had no indication that these people were going to like
walk off and leave and they just did and nobody knows why and they all like that that is weird
that there's these multiple cases within under a year of these people leaving their phones and
leaving their house without telling their family all coming from the same place, NASA.
That's weird.
That, to me, is weird.
That speaks to weirdness.
Like, of, like, I'm not saying it's all necessarily connected, but it is bizarre in the
sense that three higher up people, including a general, were like, just vanished into the
fucking night.
That's all, that's like, that's, like, the story that's kind of running in, like, the UFO
circles at the moment with these people.
And I gave the briefest of, like, descriptions as I could.
but McCasteland is the one that's like the one that sticks up the most is like the weirdest one.
I find that fucking.
It's strange.
Scary.
And again,
yeah,
it's not really about like what does it mean specifically.
It's just that we do know that.
But it is though.
I mean,
he's not saying it means anything.
I don't know.
He's not saying it means.
implying it means something sinister.
What we're reporting on is just simply that something sinister.
That that people are noticing this pattern.
That's all.
or people are creating a pattern.
It's very possible that they're creating the pattern,
but I think that it's not unlikely to imagine
that at least one of these people was taken out
in an unsavory manner.
Yeah.
I would ask why, for what purpose?
And that's exactly.
Why and what purpose is like,
that's what leaves people grasping to like see what the pattern is.
And like I said,
there's only three that walked down.
out. Anthony Chavez, Melissa Cassius, and William McCaslin. These are all people who were just like left their
home, left their keys, left their phone, grabbed like basic belongings and a gun in one case,
38 revolver and just left all three from New Mexico. All three connected to nuclear research or the
facilities that around them, and all three walked out. Like those three all from the same area,
working on the same things, left the same way within six months of each other. That is like the weird
pattern that I'm like, I don't know if there's a reason for it, but it did happen.
And it's all from like New Mexico, whatever.
And they're all working in the same area and they all left.
It's a compelling statistic.
That's it.
Yeah.
Does correlation equal causation?
No, obviously not.
But it is a very, very unique thing of three people all working in the same field,
all living in the same area, all leaving and disappearing in the same way.
Right.
It's bizarre.
And so other people started pulling in all the other people over the past year and being
like, well, this person,
died and this person got shot and then this person now we have this list of eight scientists but
really three of them are where i think the pattern is interesting does what does it mean who fucking
knows nothing we'll never know we will never know but it's there and it's it's just a data point
right who fucking knows that's it i don't know what the fuck to say about it other than that i just think
it's interesting and i don't know i hate you leave off on this i agree i agree it's that's all it is
right now. Right now, it's just eight different guys that are dead that is weird. Yeah, it's bizarre.
Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, that's it for us here at the minisode, everybody. Uh, if you have
thoughts on that, but let us know either on Patreon or the subreddit. We'll be back next week
with a brand new minisoup for everybody. Appreciate your support at patreon.com.com slash
and onipod. Appreciate your love you. Goodbye. Bye. Bye.
