“I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing. … Now, they're saying that they’re gonna investigate this. The president himself is saying they’re gonna look into this and see if anything is going on. It’s a little bit scary.”

These were the last words of David Wilcock, paranormal expert and New York Times bestseller author, in his livestream on YouTube shortly before he reportedly committed suicide on 20 April 2026 at his home under mysterious circumstances. This was in Nederland, Colorado, where a deputy sheriff apparently used a firearm as he tried to disarm him, reporting to a 911 call.

ASCENDING SPIRIT: David Wilcock, the rock star of the ancient astronauts community, passes away under suspicious circumstances aged 53.

Born 8 March 1973, Wilcock was only 53.

As for the aforementioned deaths, these cover everybody from his close personal friend and fellow UFO and paranormal researcher and co-collaborator Wynn Free – another apparent suicide, just two days before his – and the 11 missing scientists who have been making the headlines in the USA.

The story dates back to 2023 when a diverse group of scientists, engineers, professors and even former military men suddenly disappeared or were bumped off. They are: William McCasland, Monica Jacinto Reza, Steven Garcia, Carl Grillmair, Nuno Loureiro, Frank Maiwald, Melissa Casias, Anthony Chavez, Michael David Hicks, Jason Thomas and Amy Eskridge.

They worked in fields such as cutting-edge or classified anti-gravity, plasma propulsion systems, meta-materials, nuclear weapons, planetary defence and the search for extra-terrestrial life. Not to mention UFO research and advocacy, and the possibility that they were working on reverse engineering for extra-terrestrial craft.

Some worked for NASA, others at Los Alamos, and another was a MIT professor murdered at his home after the Brown University shootings done by an apparent lone nut who conveniently killed himself.

Reputable if non-mainstream news platforms like Breaking Points have reported this repeatedly, and now even Fox News is on the case, hardly a fringe news agency or conspiracy theorist haven. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) has spoken out for a thorough investigation from all the concerned federal agencies to see if a foreign power is implicated in this string of possible assassinations and abductions.

Previously, when the number was only eight, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn) had directly connected these inexplicable deaths and disappearances to the lack of disclosure over government UFO files.

The Representative also bemoaned how even the president is on a ‘need to know basis’. No wonder Wilcock had this on his mind in his last few online postings, insisting that he had no intention of following suit; willingly, at any rate.

The most prominent of these names was originally in charge of research at the notorious Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Amy Eskridge’s case is particularly disturbing. She had confided to a friend and fellow researcher that she was being harassed and that if she suddenly committed suicide, not to believe the original story. She also had access to research on top-secret directed energy weapons; see Kim Iversen’s review. Amy had also made videos before her death, talking about ‘exposure’ and her deteriorating health. Well, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has come out and connected David Wilcock’s sudden death to this long line of mysteries.

CASUALTY LIST: With David Wilcock 12 great minds, and hearts, have been extinguished since 2023.

This is the same Anna Paulina Luna who is in charge of disclosing the remaining JFK assassination files, someone who also became an advocate of the ancient aliens thesis. Wilcock was a New Age religionist as well as a long-time UFO disclosure advocate, like the UK’s Nick Pop before him. Like Pope, Wilcock was a regular on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and was a great believer in lost civilisations.

What is less well known about him, however, was that he was a severe critic of the Epstein class, among other cultists. He’d been at war with what he called the global occult economy at least since the publication of his book FINANCIAL TYRANNY: Defeating the Greatest Cover-Up of All Time (2012). He believed that the cosmos was a conscious but ultimately benign entity, with the proviso that there were dark, occult forces working against this through black magic and media brainwashing against the masses.

In short, he’d never allow such groups to gain the upper hand, especially in such trying times. Hence, his last video. The man was in high spirits in that last recording, dealing with every stressful, if downright insane, situation in the world with both courage and humour, including Trump’s famous Christ self-portrayal. He, the man, prayed for peace and the healing of God Almighty, for all people, from Hormuz to Cuba to Ukraine.

This is a personal tragedy to his family and friends, but also for the rest of us in these trying times. (See Corey Goode’s heartfelt farewell to his good friend of all these years.)  God lay within, he said, and so the path to personal salvation. The Universal Mind was something we can all tap into, regardless of creed or race, as he spelt out in his final video – see “David Wilcock LIVE: Pathway to Peace?”.

This isn’t just a loss to the ancient astronaut genre, but to humanism and the world’s fast-dwindling stock of genuine human beings – if you ask me.
