Representative Eric Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee, has called for an FBI investigation into what he describes as a pattern of deaths and disappearances among U.S. scientists with access to classified information.

The Missouri Republican's request follows reports of multiple incidents involving researchers and scientists, including antigravity researcher Amy Eskridge, who reportedly died in 2022. Burlison has characterized the circumstances surrounding some of these deaths as unusual or suspicious.

According to reports cited by Burlison, at least eleven scientists have died or gone missing in recent years. The individuals allegedly had varying levels of security clearance or access to sensitive government research programs.

Burlison argues that the FBI should examine whether there are connections between the cases and determine if any pose national security concerns. The congressman has not provided specific evidence linking the deaths or disappearances to criminal activity.

The FBI has not publicly responded to Burlison's request for an investigation. Federal agencies typically do not comment on potential ongoing investigations or requests for investigations from members of Congress.

Details about the specific circumstances of the reported deaths and disappearances, including verification of the claims and official cause-of-death determinations, remain unclear from available public information.
