一连串科学家死亡与失踪，引发“秘密行动与被封口机密”的讨论：“非常严重”
专家称，这些人可能因掌握知识而被针对，或被迫消失
美国各地近十起高阶科学家神秘死亡与失踪事件，引发广泛关注。有专家认为，这些人可能因为掌握关键知识而成为目标，或出于自身保护被迫消失。
自2022年以来，至少已有11人死亡或失踪，其中绝大多数从事核科学与航天研究，还有部分与不明飞行物（UFO）研究有关。
迈克尔·大卫·希克斯（59岁）、弗兰克·迈瓦尔德（61岁）、努诺·洛雷罗（47岁）、杰森·托马斯（45岁）、艾米·埃斯克里奇（34岁）以及卡尔·格里尔迈尔（47岁），均在2023年至2026年间死亡，这些人都在重要科学研究中扮演关键角色。
其中，希克斯和迈瓦尔德的死因仍不明，而格里尔迈尔则于2026年2月16日在家门外遭枪击身亡，29岁的弗雷迪·斯奈德已被控谋杀。

Frank Maiwald, 61, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, died July 4, 2024, authorities said. The cause of death has not been released. (Obituary)
Jason Thomas, 45, an associate director of chemical biology at pharmaceutical company Novartis, was reported missing in December 2025 after leaving his home in Wakefield, Massachusetts, late at night. (Wakefield Police Department)
洛雷罗也在马萨诸塞州家中遭枪击，并于2025年12月15日因伤不治。他的死亡与布朗大学的一起大规模枪击事件有关。
托马斯是制药公司诺华（Novartis）化学生物学副主任，他的遗体在马萨诸塞州昆纳波维特湖被发现，时间距他深夜离家外出后失踪已过去三个月。
位于阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的研究员埃斯克里奇，于2022年6月11日因自我枪击身亡。

莫妮卡·雷扎（60岁）、梅丽莎·卡西亚斯（53岁）、安东尼·查韦斯（79岁）、史蒂文·加西亚（48岁）以及退役空军少将威廉·尼尔·麦卡斯兰（68岁），在2023年至2026年间陆续被通报失踪，他们的失踪情况均带有可疑之处。

Monica Reza, 60, an aerospace engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was reported missing June 22, 2025, after disappearing while hiking in the Mount Waterman area of the Angeles National Forest in California. (Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department)
Steven Garcia, 48, who worked at the Kansas City National Security Campus, was reported missing Aug. 28, 2025, after leaving his Albuquerque home on foot carrying only a handgun. (New Mexico Department of Public Safety)
一些科学家是在家中失踪，另一些则是在登山步道或其他公共场所消失无踪。
尽管这些人的研究领域看似没有直接关联，但有专家指出，背后可能存在更为阴暗的因素。
Anthony Chavez, 79, was reported missing May 8, 2025, after he was last seen leaving his home on foot in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Chavez, a retired employee of Los Alamos National Laboratory, left behind his car, phone, wallet and keys, and his whereabouts remain unknown. (The Los Alamos Police Department)
Melissa Casias, 53, an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, was reported missing June 26, 2025, and her whereabouts remain unknown. (GoFundMe)
不明飞行物研究者、退休医生史蒂文·格里尔博士对福克斯新闻数字版表示：“这些人的失踪，可能与联邦层面正在进行的一些高度机密调查有关。在这些调查中，有些人可能因为知道太多而被带走，或者为了避免被审讯甚至被控罪，而选择让自己消失。”
格里尔还提出另一种可能性，即这些科学家可能成为跨国犯罪组织的目标，该组织试图阻止他们的研究成果被公开。
