Phone calls allegedly made by a young scientist researching technology that could revolutionize space travel have raised new questions regarding her reported suicide.
Amy Eskridge, 34, was found dead on June 11, 2022, with a gunshot wound to the head. While her death was ruled a suicide, new information has been unearthed that points to the scientist being spied on and threatened for years.
Franc Milburn, a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer who claimed to have been in contact with Eskridge before her death, shared phone calls with the Daily Mail, which exposed an alleged attempt to abduct or attack the researcher at a local airport.
A voice said by Milburn to be Eskridge’s detailed how US military and airport officials were monitoring her movements and allegedly thwarted an attempt to kidnap her while she was flying from Virginia to her Alabama home in 2021.
New videos and text exchanges shared with the Daily Mail also detailed how Eskridge had allegedly discovered someone trespassing on her property in Huntsville, Alabama, tampering with her car and threatening her with sexual violence.
Milburn said: ‘Going through messages and imagery and voice media from late 2021 Amy sent to me, it is clear that she was concerned for her safety and that there was malign activity occurring at her home and at locations she was visiting.’
Eskridge had publicly stated that she feared for her safety due to the nature of her work for the US government and on the development of technology, which has been linked to space-age propulsion allegedly used by extraterrestrial spacecraft.
The scientist had also repeatedly claimed she was not suicidal, and that she was physically attacked with a directed energy weapon -a device that fires dangerous rays, including microwaves, at a target.

Text messages allegedly sent by Eskridge to former British intelligence officer Franc Milburn detailed a campaign of harassment against her for years
Eskridge, a graduate of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, had co-founded The Institute for Exotic Science with her father, Richard Eskridge, in 2018, a company focused on ‘speculative research,’ including the creation of gravity-defying engines.
This technology has been linked to extraterrestrials by UFO researchers who claim anti-gravity propulsion has been responsible for the unexplainable sightings of aircraft moving at incredible speeds and in ways that defy the laws of physics.
The scientist claimed that her research on this technology and on new national security scanners for the US Department of Homeland Security set off a harassment and intimidation campaign aimed at stopping her company’s work.
This allegedly included break-ins at her home, attempts to drug her and her colleagues, threatening phone calls and even acts of sabotage on Eskridge’s car.
A newly unearthed incident shared by Milburn focused on a chilling incident while Eskridge was flying home after Thanksgiving, and the US military allegedly had to step in to prevent her from being abducted in two different states.
A voice believed to be Eskridge said: ‘My side obviously noticed immediately. When we got to the airport in Virginia to fly home, they just waved me through security, didn’t check my ID, didn’t check my ticket.’
‘They were like “leave your shoes on, don’t take your bag off, just walk through the scanner.” They just wanted me to get behind the f****** security barrier as quickly as humanly possible.’
‘We discovered what was up when we got back [to Alabama] and the car battery was drained, the pepper spray was emptied… but they just had a f****** colonel walk out of the airport behind me,’ she continued.

Milburn previously shared a picture, which he claims shows Eskridge’s hands burned and discolored after she was allegedly struck by a ‘directed energy weapon’
Eskridge added that this military colonel had no luggage, nor did she believe he was even a passenger at the airport in Huntsville.
Moreover, Eskridge said the colonel was parked right next to her at the airport and immediately offered to use his jumper cables once the scientist discovered her vandalized car.
‘So the colonel jumped my car, and then I went along my merry way, totally traumatized but also totally ok.’
Another call believed to be from Eskridge referred to the incident as a ‘snatch attempt’ and discussed how the researcher was warning colleagues to avoid attending scientific conferences over fears of an attempt against their lives.
Milburn, who conducted his own investigation and has claimed Eskridge was murdered, said: ‘I hope the FBI will conduct a thorough investigation of all the incidents leading up to her death, wherever the investigation may lead – to foreign actors or to domestic ones.’
A video allegedly shared by Eskridge on October 29, 2021 also revealed what the scientist considered a home invasion at her Huntsville residence, with an unknown suspect leaving a large boot print in the ground outside the home for Eskridge to find.
Eskridge can be heard tracing the individual’s path from her driveway to the outdoor garbage bins to an area near her home.
The 34-year-old had previously claimed that her home had been broken into on multiple occasions, with someone leaving clear signs that an intruder had entered to intimidate her.

Milburn also shared a series of text messages said to be from Eskridge, which detailed additional incidents where her or a loved one’s car was broken into and had the battery drained.
The late scientist reportedly told Milburn that she was uncertain if groups attempting to derail her work had been sabotaging her car or if it was an act of the US government to make her more aware of the alleged threats against her.
However, hours before appearing on a livestream interview to discuss her work, texts detailed how Eskridge allegedly received chilling voicemails claiming her research was being monitored and threatening her with sexual violence.
The ‘garbled’ also allegedly warned Eskridge that Twitter campaigns were being designed to discredit her work and link the research back to Russian websites.
‘That’s nothing new, I guess,’ Eskridge allegedly wrote during the text exchange with Milburn.
Eskridge’s father, a former NASA scientist, has publicly rejected claims that his daughter was murdered. The Daily Mail has attempted to contact Richard Eskridge for comment.
Key members of the House Oversight Committee, including Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri, have sided with Milburn’s assessment that the death warranted further investigation.
However, President Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday that a string of recent deaths and disappearances among scientists and nuclear officials like Eskridge did not appear to have a connection to an organized plot against US researchers.
‘Some of them we looked at were very sad cases. Some were sick. Some left this Earth self-inflicted. Some had other things. So far, we’re finding that there’s not much of a connection,’ Trump revealed.
