A DEAD NASA-linked scientist was allegedly blasted by a secret Pentagon “beam” after threatening to expose theories on UFOs and anti-gravity technology.
The bombshell claims have resurfaced after the Department of War publicly confirmed it uses futuristic “directed energy weapons” – or DEWs – in military operations.

The Department’s chief technology officer Emil Michael revealed the tech in a chilling X post on Monday.
“Directed energy weapons are a fine addition to our arsenal…” the post read alongside an image showing a laser-style beam firing as a soldier clutched his head in pain.
According to the post, DEWs use concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic and subatomic particles to disable drones, electronic systems and even enemy troops.
The announcement appeared to validate long-running claims that the US government had secretly been developing sci-fi style weapons for years.

One of the most high-profile figures to allegedly sound the alarm was scientist Amy Eskridge, 34, who researched anti-gravity systems, UFOs and extra-terrestrial life.
Eskridge, from Huntsville, Alabama, reportedly told associates she had been attacked inside her own home with a directed energy weapon shortly before her death in 2022.
She was not directly employed by NASA, but had several significant ties to the agency through her family and her research in Huntsville – a major hub for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
Authorities ruled she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
But retired British intelligence officer Franc Milburn has claimed she was actually targeted because of sensitive information linked to aerospace, defense and UFO research.

Milburn alleged Eskridge suffered burns, blisters and skin lesions after being struck by microwaves from a DEW attack, according to The New York Post.
He reportedly submitted evidence and findings to Congress in 2023.
The former paratrooper said Eskridge messaged him saying: “My ex-CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really badly a couple months ago.”
Milburn also claimed Eskridge believed an operative linked to a “private aerospace company” attacked her using an “RF k-band emitter run by five car batteries strung together from inside an SUV.”
The K-band is a range of radio frequencies that can reportedly be converted into targeted rays.
While the allegations surrounding Eskridge have never been proven, the US military has openly tested similar laser style systems in recent years.
The Pentagon has reportedly requested nearly $790million for DEW programs during the 2025 fiscal year.
Outside contractors are also involved in the technology – including defense company AeroVironment – which reportedly helped develop the Locust X3 anti-drone weapon, the Post reported.
The mounted system is said to fire beams at the speed of light to disable airborne drones.
Eskridge is reportedly one of 11 US scientists and researchers who have either vanished or died after studying UFOs, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena – known as UAPs – and classified national security programs.
Republican Congressman Eric Burlison said the disappearances were “too coincidental” and revealed his office had already been investigating some of the cases before President Donald Trump reportedly ordered a probe.
Burlison claimed the incidents could be linked to classified aerospace and UFO intelligence – or even hostile actors connected to China, Russia or Iran.
