A retired US Air Force general who led laboratories linked to UFO research has been reported missing from New Mexico.
William Neil McCasland, 68, was last seen around 11am Friday near Quail Run Court NE in Albuquerque, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) said.
The sheriff's office issued a Silver Alert, a public notification system used to locate missing seniors or individuals with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other medical conditions.
'Due to his medical issues, law enforcement is concerned for his safety,' the office said.
McCasland, a veteran of Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, previously led both the Phillips Research Site and the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson in Ohio.
Some UFO enthusiasts have linked those facilities to secret studies of advanced aerospace technology and unexplained phenomena, though officials maintain they focus on national security and experimental defense projects.
Col. Justin Secrest, commander of Kirtland's 377th Air Base Wing, told the Albuquerque Journal the base is working closely with local law enforcement.
'Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time,' Secrest said.
