Online Newsweek coverage of General McCasland’s disappearance quotes US military veteran and UFO witness Jason Sands referring to security procedures of “legacy program” without explaining that this refers to crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs. I wonder whether that explanation was removed by Newsweek editors. Excerpt from article
“McCasland’s disappearance has fueled rumors on social media. Air Force veteran Jason Sands told Red Panda Koala, a UFO-focused YouTube channel, that McCasland might have gone into hiding on his own accord.
“There is a protocol within the legacy program that if you are one of the people they consider a key personnel and something is happening and they think you are at risk or you are a risk they will come and take you to their facilities and hide you away or if they think you are a threat they will come murder you,” Sands said.
“I think he is in hiding with friends, safe. He left his cell phone behind because he didn’t want to be traceable. Good for him, I hope he stays hidden until it’s safe for him to come back. That’s my feeling that this is of his own accord.”
Jason Sands we should remember is a contact experiencer who has decribed having a UFO sighting when he was age 10. Joining the US Airforce in 1985 he worked at the Nellis Air Force Range where the infamous Area 51 is located. His job involved analyzing phone taps on personal at the base checking for security violations and he was shocked to hear conversations indicated that “Tall Whites and Greys” were allegedly working there.
In a 3/18/25 Spotify “That UFO Podcast” interview with Richard Dolan, Jason described how a video of a flying saucer maneuvering at the Range was leaked to the internet in 1994 . This was when Sands claimed that he saw a non-human being that ran up to his truck in freezing cold as his team was moving between radar/radio stations on the base. The being reportedly had enormous eyes, practically no ears and requested assistance from Jason via telepathy as Jason comrades were in a kind of trance like altered state of consciousness.
