Just a few days ago, on April 19, Wilcock wrote a worrying message on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The 53-year-old said he was going through “some pretty intense stuff”.

“I’m not sure yet if I’ll be performing tomorrow. I have some very nervous things happening this weekend. No matter what, I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you! Always remember the Creator is within – we live in a loving universe,” Wilcock wrote on Twitter.

President Trump described the matter as a “very serious matter” and noted that several of those involved were “very important people.” Asked whether the incidents were related, he said, “I hope it’s random,” adding that more clarity was expected in the coming days.

White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt confirmed that federal agencies are currently cooperating on the matter. “We will be working diligently on this and the White House will provide updates as they are received,” she said, adding that concerns surrounding the cases were “legitimate.”

House Oversight Committee member Eric Burleson has been outspoken on the issue, calling the incidents “too coincidental.” He believes the cases may be related to sensitive research areas such as aerospace, defense and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as unidentified flying objects.

“This is such a coincidence that we have to investigate this. We need to get our nation’s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this,” Burleson said in an interview.
