I can’t pretend to take credit for this research. I found it on a comment to an article elsewhere. Just interesting the amount of possibilities there are for McCasland’s disappearance. What would the case below look like in the social media driven world of today?
The case of this woman, Dr. Ning Li. She was a Chinese American physicist who disappeared from the public eye, leaving many to believe that she had been “disappeared”. In reality she was working for the DOD in complete secrecy, according to her son.
Not only was Dr. Ning-Li from Huntsville, she was also a trailblazer in the field of anti-gravity research. After migrating to America from China in 1983, Li began working at the
University of Alabama Huntsville’s (UAH)Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research.
She became famous and somewhat controversial for a series of papers she co-authored from 1991 – 1993.

In 1999, Li left UAH to start her own company, AC Gravity, and commercialize a device based on her theories. Her colleagues obviously believed in her work as the chair of UAH’s Physics Department, Larry Smalley, also departed the university to join her.
Public records show that in 2001, the
U.S. Department of Defense gave AC Gravity a grant for $448,970 to research the technology. However, these results were never published.
In fact, Dr. Li never published anything again. And even though the business license for AC Gravity was updated yearly through 2018, there is no record of any further work done by the company.

As the years passed, the conversation regarding Li’s whereabouts started to amplify along with the conspiracies around it. In July of 2008, a scientist named Jack Sarfatti provided a rather alarming update during an interview that was later posted on
YouTube and included in the video from Barely Sociable.
During the interview, Sarfatti claims that Li was no longer working for the DoD and had moved back to China to continue her work. The transcript of the interview conveys the seriousness of this accusation.
“This is very important from a national security and political point of view. One of the key scientists ….. is a Chinese woman named Ning Li. She has disappeared and gone back to China,” said Sarfatti.

George was vaguely aware that people were still interested in his mom but he didn’t understand just how interested people were. I played Barely Sociable’s video for him and his two children in his living room along with showing him some of the online discourse and he was able to clarify some things people have speculated on over the years. Most importantly, Dr. Li never left the DoD and never left the country to work for the Chinese government.
