A bizarre theory has surrounded the disappearance of a scientist who worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Anthony Chavez, a retired HVAC technician, was reportedly working on quantum physics experiments and went missing in May 2025. Quantum physics relates to "matter existing in two places simultaneously," and there is now speculation that he could have been sucked into sucked into a parallel dimension after something likely went wrong with the experiment. The 78-year-old is one of several scientists in the United States to have vanished under mysterious circumstances.&nbsp;NewsNation reported investigative journalist Lauren Conlin as saying that Chavez “specifically” worked on quantum physics, a branch of science that investigates “being in two places at once.” Even though there is no evidence that a failed experiment led to him ending up in another dimension, netizens seem to have picked up on the angle following Conlin's statements. Quantum superposition, a principle in which a physical system can exist in multiple possible states simultaneously, is still poorly understood by scientists. It is still working with only basic units of quantum information known as qubits. Hence, the claims and speculation that Chavez could have ended up in another dimension after travelling through a wormhole sound absurd.&nbsp;Chavez disappeared a month before Los Alamos administrative assistant Melissa Casias was reported missing. Her body was found in the McGaffey Ridge area of the Carson National Forest, New Mexico, with a handgun next to her. Both scientists were reportedly working with the US nuclear secrets or rocket technology.

Sucked into another dimension? Rumours swirl physicist vanished while working on science of 'being in two places at once'

One of the scientists who went missing has been found dead. The remains of Melissa Casias, 54, who worked at the nuclear lab, have been found by the New Mexico State Police 11 months after she vanished. Her body was found in the McGaffey Ridge area of the Carson National Forest, with a handgun present next to her. A hiker made the discovery six miles from her last known location. The area is part of a large US Forest Service restoration project. The New Mexico State Police are investigating the scene where she was found and trying to trace the gun's origin and whether it belonged to her or someone else. The cause and since when she had been dead are yet to be ascertained by the Office of the Medical Investigator in New Mexico.

Secret agent, who was about to blow the lid off UFO secrets, died 5 years ago. A whistleblower has now raised suspicion

Amid growing concerns over missing and dead scientists in the United States, some UFO researchers have claimed that this is not a recent occurrence, and mysterious suicides and plane crashes happened as far back as the 1940s. Nearly 12 people linked with the fields of space and nuclear research have either died or disappeared in the past four years. Congressman Tim Burchett and journalist Ross Coulthart are among those who first flagged the issue, after which more people started talking about it before it ultimately reached the White House. The FBI is currently investigating, even though other experts and the family members of some of these scientists do not think they are related. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists are now claiming that hundreds of such deaths happened when UFO sightings were initially reported, and they were made to look like accidents or suicides.&nbsp;UFO researchers Nigel Watson and Timothy Hood told The Daily Mail that one of the first such incidents happened at the start of the "flying saucer" era in 1947. Harold A Dahl, his son Charles and two crewmen were in a tugboat off Maury Island in Puget Sound between Washington State's Seattle and Tacoma when they saw six golden and silver doughnut-shaped objects flying above them. One of them wobbled and released thin metallic strips and black lumps. It hit the boy who was injured and the dog that died. A man in a black sedan confronted Dahl and warned him not to speak about the incident.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kenneth Arnold was another man who also saw flying saucers and asked Air Force Intelligence to investigate. Captain William Davidson and Lieutenant Frank M Brown went to Tacoma but found no evidence of a rain of molten lead. Both of them died when their B-25 crashed. Watson says the port engine of their aircraft caught fire. Later, someone called the local newspaper and claimed, "The aircraft was shot down by a 20mm cannon because there were fragments of a flying saucer."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/the-mondaloy-mystery-two-aerospace-experts-with-ties-to-special-projects-go-missing-triggering-security-concerns-1774248547608">The Mondaloy mystery: Two aerospace experts with ties to 'special projects' go missing, triggering security concerns</a><h2>Conspiracy theories on UFO researchers</h2>Arnold also escaped death as the engine of his plane failed after he took off from Tacoma.

Dahl's boss, Fred Crisman, who had collected debris from the site, was later investigated in a case related to the assassination of President Kennedy.

But it was later revealed that he was suffering from pneumonia and passed away after taking a combination of powerful prescription drugs.

The mystery of dead and missing scientists has led conspiracy theorists to claim that several such cases happened in the 1940s during the "flying saucer" era. Evidence was destroyed, people were warned to stay silent, and deaths were set up to look like suicides and accidents, as per claims.

Amy Eskridge, one of the scientists who died mysteriously, did not intend to kill herself. Yet, her death was ruled a suicide. She was the founder and CEO of the Institute for Exotic Science, a research organisation that focused on advanced propulsion, zero-point energy, and anti-gravity technologies. The 34-year-old died on June 11, 2022, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head being ruled as the official cause of death. Eerily, according to one of her friends, Eskridge told him she would never kill herself and warned not to believe any such reports. Franc Milburn told NewsNation that Eskridge messaged her, “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not." Meanwhile, a former British intelligence officer also told the outlet that Amy feared for her life. Milburn also said the same thing that Amy claimed she was being physically and psychologically attacked. She even gave him pictures showing her discoloured hands.&nbsp;Before her death, Eskridge claimed she and her research team were facing harassment and surveillance in connection with her work on electro-gravitational and anti-gravity technologies. Milburn believes someone could have targeted Eskridge as she was developing technology that could have affected conventional rocketry. “If you’re using, still, chemical rockets to go to the moon and you’ve got some young upstart scientist comes along and says, ‘Well, I’ve got a propulsion system that’s like much more efficient,’ then you’re going to lose a lot of money,” he said.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/the-mondaloy-mystery-two-aerospace-experts-with-ties-to-special-projects-go-missing-triggering-security-concerns-1774248547608">The Mondaloy mystery: Two aerospace experts with ties to 'special projects' go missing, triggering security concerns</a><h2>Families of scientists rule out foul play</h2>However, her father, who is a former NASA employee, maintains that her death is not suspicious despite the speculations.
