During World War 2, the United States conducted a secretive operation - Operation Paperclip - where they recruited German scientists who were experts in the fields of aero medical treatment, rocket propulsion, and armor innovators. While many of the scientists worked on projects like the Saturn modules for NASA, some were sequestered in bases surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by military police. These scientists essentially vanished from public view as they worked on a top secret research program: The Manhattan Project.
A recent string of missing and dead scientists in the United States seems eerily similar to Operation Paperclip. Could the United States be working on a new secret operation? And if so, what conclusion can be drawn from the data available?
