Missing Air Force general with ties to UFO community ‘planned not to be found,’ wife says in chilling new 911 call

The wife of retired Air Force general William “Neil” McCasland who disappeared without a trace from his New Mexico home in February told 911 dispatchers she feared her husband “planned not to be found.”

Susan Wilkerson called 911 three hours after her husband, who has strong ties to the UFO community, vanished from their Albuquerque home on Feb. 27 with hiking boots and a revolver.

“My husband is missing. It’s been about 3 hours and I have some indication that he must have planned not to be found,” Wilkerson warned 911 dispatchers in newly released audio obtained by the Law&Crime Network.

Wilkerson told dispatchers that her alien-expert husband suspiciously turned his phone off and left it at  home alongside his prescription glasses before he vanished. 

“He turned it off and left it behind which seems kind of deliberate because he’s always got his phone. He has a smartwatch. I don’t know if that’s with him or not,” she said.

The worried wife told dispatchers that her husband had changed his clothes and left on foot in the middle of the day while she was out at an appointment.

“I think he’s on foot. All of our cars and bicycles are in the garage,” Wilkerson said.

Local authorities and the FBI have been searching for the 68-year-old since late February but have come up short.

Prior to his retirement, McCasland worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, overseeing classified space weapon programs.

The base is also rumored to possess fragments of extraterrestrial debris allegedly from a UFO hotspot in Roswell, New Mexico.

Since news of his suspicious disappearance broke, many people have been speculating whether McCasland’s deep knowledge of classified UFO information has had anything to do with the mysterious circumstances.

“This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head,” journalist Ross Coulthart said on his podcast, “Reality Check,” adding that McCasland possesses deep knowledge about what the US government might be hiding regarding extraterrestrials, The Post previously reported.

Coulthart believes the mystery surrounding McCasland’s disappearance suspiciously coincides with the President making overtures about the US government’s UFO knowledge and that the retired general was supportive of giving the public more information about those classified topics.

“The timing is screechingly relevant,” Coulthart said. “The fact that Gen. Neil McCasland has disappeared off the face of the earth is a grave national security crisis for the United States of America.

“This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head,” he hauntingly said.
