The case of a missing Air Force General named William Neil McCasland has taken a bizarre turn, with his wife debunking theories relating to UFOs.
Susan McCasland Wilkerson posted a lengthy note on Facebook on March 6. As of March 14, McCasland was still missing. In her post, she confirmed that he associated with the “UFO community,” but added, “Neil does not have any special knowledge about the ET bodies and debris from the Roswell crash stored at Wright-Patt. Though at this point with absolutely no sign of him, maybe the best hypothesis is that aliens beamed him up to the mothership. However, no sightings of a mothership hovering above the Sandia Mountains have been reported.”
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office in New Mexico has released a detailed timeline around the mysterious disappearance of 68-year-old William “Neil” McCasland, “last known to have been at or near his residence in the area of Quail Run Court NE on the morning of Friday, February 27, 2026. A Silver Alert remains in effect, and Mr. McCasland remains missing.” Some have compared McCasland’s disappearance to that of Nancy Guthrie, but there is no known connection.
McCasland is a retired U.S. Air Force general, the Sheriff wrote, adding that the FBI is assisting. Maj. Gen. William McCasland was the Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. There, he was “responsible for managing the Air Force’s $2.2 billion science and technology program as well as additional customer-funded research and development of $2.2 billion,” his U.S. Air Force bio says.
