Retired Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland — who commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson and briefly worked with Tom DeLonge's UAP research group — has been missing for three weeks. The FBI is involved, clothing has been found in Colorado, and a US congressman says he 'has a lot to say' about UFOs.

NASA has fundamentally redesigned Artemis III — the mission will no longer land on the Moon. Instead, astronauts will dock with commercial landers in Earth orbit as a test run, with the first actual lunar landing now planned for 2028.
