Dead UFO researcher allegedly attacked with Pentagon’s futuristic ‘weapons.’ Department of War confirms they do use these weapons

It’s not a great time to be a space expert in the United States. Over the past few years, as many as 13 individuals who worked in space technology, nuclear research, aerospace, advanced materials, anti-gravity, UFOs/extraterrestrial tech, or clean energy have either turned up dead or just disappeared.

This could, of course, be a mere coincidence. Or… it could be something more.

Attention has now focused on Amy Eskridge, founder of the Institute for Exotic Science, who died by apparent suicide aged 34 in June 2022. Her father, Richard Eskridge, was a NASA plasma physicist and propulsion engineer, and she took up his mantle with self-described expertise in electrical engineering, physics, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology.

“If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not”

Eskridge’s sudden death raised eyebrows. After she was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, there was no investigation, no detailed autopsy report is available, and she was quickly cremated. The plot thickened further when alleged texts from her to a friend a month before her death said:

“If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not.”

She also claimed that she’d been targeted by some kind of energy weapon, claims that were dismissed as crazy talk at the time of her death but have now become more credible after the Trump administration outright confirmed their existence earlier this week:

This isn’t science fiction; officials have all but confirmed these weapons were used by US forces during the January 2026 raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Trump himself praised what he dubbed the “Discombobulator”, with guards and security personnel at Maduro’s location reporting sudden nosebleeds, vomiting, disorientation, an inability to stand, combined with a sensation of intense pressure or sound inside the head. As one person involved explained:

“At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

…

Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”

The experience is clearly excruciating, so if you wanted a device that could drive an otherwise mentally well person to suicide while leaving little evidence of your involvement, it’d be hard to do better than this.

Even so, Eskridge’s family has repeatedly underlined that they don’t consider Amy’s death suspicious. They point out that she had been suffering long-term chronic pain and was going through personal struggles, emphasizing that they did not view it as suspicious and urging people not to overinterpret it. Her father said, simply, “Scientists die also, just like other people.”
