Authorities in Huntsville, Ala.
are reviewing the death of a 34-year-old aerospace researcher who worked on experimental anti-gravity propulsion, adding to a growing list of scientists with ties to advanced physics programs who have died or disappeared in recent years.
Over the past 33 months, 10 U.S.
researchers and scientists have reportedly died or disappeared, including government contractor Steven Garcia, 48, who allegedly vanished in August 2025 in New Mexico after leaving his home on foot and leaving behind his phone, wallet and keys.
The reported total now stands at 11 deaths or disappearances, including Amy Eskridge, who authorities say died on June 11, 2022 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, though officials have not released a full investigative report or explained why detailed case files remain unavailable, according to the Daily Mail.
Eskridge focused her research on anti-gravity technology aimed at manipulating or canceling gravitational forces, a field she said could transform space travel and energy systems.
She previously warned in public discussions that her work carried personal risk due to its sensitive nature.
Before her death, Eskridge co-founded The Institute for Exotic Science with her father, retired NASA engineer Richard Eskridge.
She publicly promoted the group as a platform to explore unconventional propulsion theories, including concepts linked to experimental aerospace programs.
In a 2020 podcast interview, Eskridge said she planned to move forward with public disclosure of UFO and extraterrestrial research but warned that she felt increasing pressure and intrusion.
