New video casts doubt on suicide ruling in scientist Amy Eskridge's death.
Amy Eskridge, a 34-year-old scientist working on technology capable of revolutionizing space travel and energy production, died on June 11, 2022. An official investigation ruled her death a suicide following a gunshot wound to the head, yet a newly surfaced video has ignited fresh doubts about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
In an interview conducted in May 2020 with fellow researchers, Eskridge described a terrifying campaign of harassment that she believed threatened her safety. She revealed that her team had been repeatedly drugged at social gatherings. "I've been roofied multiple times. Like my extended team has been roofied multiple times, like it's the f***ing roofie party over here," she stated.
Eskridge explained that she feared conducting her work in public spaces because of what she termed a "social engineering" operation. Strangers would approach her with intimate details about her personal life and aggressively question her about her research. "Then all of a sudden the people in the bar around me are like, 'What do you do for a living? Tell us, do you work for the government... you're sitting there at your laptop, it looks cool, tell us what you're doing,'" she recounted.
She specifically detailed an incident where she arrived at a bar near her Alabama residence feeling extremely intoxicated despite consuming little alcohol. "Like twice or three times it's like I'm really f****** drunk, I shouldn't be this drunk, I didn't drink enough to be this drunk, what's happening? Why am I so messed up?" Eskridge asked.

Franc Milburn, a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer who claimed to have maintained contact with Eskridge, shared distressing messages she sent him in the weeks before her death. One message, dated May 13, 2022, explicitly denied the official narrative: "If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not."
Following Eskridge's death, Milburn told the Daily Mail that individuals claiming to know her approached him anonymously. These contacts alleged they were also targeted by the same forces, reporting incidents of suspected drink spiking, break-ins, and slashed tires.
Eskridge was a graduate of the University of Alabama in Huntsville and co-founded The Institute for Exotic Science with her father, Richard Eskridge, in 2018. The organization focused on speculative research, including the development of gravity-defying engines. UFO researchers have linked this anti-gravity technology to extraterrestrial propulsion, claiming it explains unexplained aircraft sightings that defy the laws of physics.
Richard Eskridge, a former NASA scientist, has publicly refuted claims that his daughter's death was suspicious. The Daily Mail has attempted to contact him for further comment on the controversy. The case highlights the severe risks faced by scientists exploring controversial technologies and the potential for targeted harassment to silence critical voices in the community.
Are you sitting at your laptop? It looks cool; tell us what you are doing," the inquiry began. This question was part of a disturbing pattern of intimidation that Amy Eskridge endured for four to five years. By 2020, she revealed that the harassment had escalated so severely she could no longer visit bars alone, fearing for her safety.

Eskridge, a graduate of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, co-founded The Institute for Exotic Science with her father, Richard Eskridge, in 2018. The company specialized in "speculative research," including the ambitious goal of creating gravity-defying engines. She described her work environment as once being her most productive zone, but that changed dramatically.
"I don't go to bars by myself anymore," Eskridge stated, explaining the shift in her behavior. "In the past 12 months, if I sit down at a bar by myself, some dude will come, like some 50-year-old dude will come and sit next to me and turn to me and say 'do you want one roofie in your drink or two?'" She noted that these individuals would then drop buzzwords relevant to her life before she would flee. "Then he'll like drop buzzwords that are relevant to my life, and I'll be like I'm getting the f*** out of here," she said.
The threats grew increasingly invasive and dangerous. Eskridge detailed a plan to disclose the existence of UFOs to the public, driven by the fear that she needed to act quickly due to a surge in threats and break-ins at her home. "Over the past 12 months, it's been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats," she recounted.
In 2018, Eskridge and her father presented findings on behalf of their company, HoloChron Engineering. Their presentation covered historical and modern experiments in gravity modification, including alleged black projects developing triangular anti-gravity craft known as the "TR3B." During this period, Eskridge alleged that she and her colleagues became targets of repeated physical and psychological attacks. These assaults reportedly aimed to isolate the 34-year-old scientist from her staff.

Following Eskridge's death, her colleagues and friends came forward anonymously to share their own traumatic experiences. Milburn told the Daily Mail, "After she died, her co-workers and her friends, people she'd worked with, they came forward anonymously and said to me, 'yeah, look, we were attacked, we were roofied, my house was broken into, my car tires were slashed.'"
The scope of the alleged conspiracy extended beyond the immediate team. The intelligence officer reported that some co-workers claimed their food had been poisoned, causing illness throughout their entire families. One specific piece of evidence highlighted the reach of the alleged operation: a bag marked with "Amy Eskridge" was found, containing items belonging to the scientist despite the perpetrators living hundreds of miles away out of state.
This wasn't just random events; this was happening to her and people around her," Milburn claimed regarding the mysterious incidents.
Documents shared online suggest Eskridge's now-closed research company was developing anti-gravity technology allegedly used in UFO-inspired aircraft.

Milburn shared a picture he said showed Eskridge sitting in her home near a window she claimed was scorched by an energy weapon.
In 2022, Eskridge reportedly told Milburn, whom she had befriended online and asked for help regarding alleged harassment, that she was working on a highly sensitive project for Homeland Security when the attacks against her turned physical.
Eskridge was reportedly working from home on a project designed to detect chemical or biological threats in the nation's subway systems when she was struck by a directed energy weapon.
This device fires rays of energy, such as microwaves, at a target, causing severe damage to exposed skin and electronics.

Eskridge shared images with Milburn, apparently showing her hands, feet, neck, and back with burns and lesions after the alleged attack by this weapon.
Milburn told the Daily Mail the images even appeared to show a scorch mark on Eskridge's home window, where the energy weapon allegedly passed and struck her in the hands and head while she was working on her laptop.
On May 19, 2022, Milburn said Eskridge messaged him to report that a member of her research lab with advanced weapons experience was convinced a directed energy weapon had caused her injuries.
"My ex-CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really badly a couple months ago, and he saw that window pane in person," she wrote in her message.
"He said he had built things like that, and that it was most likely an RF k-band emitter run by five car batteries strung together from inside an SUV," she added.

Less than a month later, the 34-year-old was dead, reportedly by her own hand.
Milburn has disputed the official report and conducted his own investigation into the case, concluding that Eskridge was murdered by a private aerospace company in the US because she was involved in the UAP conversation.
While the claims have not been proven to be true, Milburn's findings were presented to Congress in 2023.
Representative Eric Burlison has noted that he and other lawmakers consider the case suspicious given the potential risks to communities working on sensitive technologies.
