Chilling tweet UFO expert sent resurfaces after he took his own life aged 53 raising concerns

A UFO expert made a chilling post on social media prior to his death.

David Wilcock died on April 20 at an address near to Nederland in Colorado, with preliminary investigations indicating that he died by suicide.

Wilcock, 53, was a big name in research into UFOs, and had written books on the subject, as well as posting on YouTube where he had over half a million subscribers.

Police arrived at the address following a report of a mental health crisis.

A report has said that when authorities arrived, Wilcock was 'holding a weapon', and during the course of the incident, he 'used the weapon on himself'.

When officers examined the home and surrounding properties, no other people were found.

His death has been met with an outpouring of conspiracy theories, in large part due to his books about UFOs some of which have made the New York Times bestsellers list.

A post on X has since emerged that Wilcock made on December 11 2022 in which he said that he had no suicidal intent.

He wrote: "I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real."

The post has now re-emerged following Wilcock's death, and is at the center of a flurry of social media posts speculating about the manner of his death.

One person wrote: "The people that know the truth are being knocked off."

Meanwhile, a second person posted: "This is a bit weird, isn't it?"

David Wilcock's final livestream before his death

Two days before he died, Wilcock streamed for three and a half hours, touching on Donald Trump's depiction of himself as a Christ-like figure and the war in Iran.

He also opened up about his own health, admitting he was suffering from 'low motivation', 'low energy' and 'anxiety', and even wondered if he was 'getting some type of pre-diabetic symptoms'.

He added: "It's been very difficult, lots of stuff that's going on that is challenging."

Earlier in the livestream, he said: "Every day on Earth is a gift and a blessing. And I'm very grateful for that because frankly, people are going missing. Scientists are disappearing now."

This is in reference to the recent deaths and disappearances of a number of top scientists, including retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, who previously oversaw the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, who went missing in February 2026.

Monica Jacinto Reza, the director of the Materials Processing Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also went missing in June 2025, along with a number of other senior researchers.

The White House have confirmed the FBI will investigate if the deaths and disappearances are connected.

Wilcock said: "I got to say, it's a little bit scary, but you guys knew that I might still show up [on the livestream] even though it was last minute and I've had a really rough week.

"That's kind of like every week, but we somehow keep on making it through all this."

Wilcock's books include The Source Field Investigations, The Synchronicity Key, and The Ascension Mysteries, in addition to his social media following.

He frequently called for more openness from the US government about the existence of UFOs and alien life.

His death was confirmed on April 21 by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who wrote: "We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock.

"We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted."

In addition to his books and his social media channels, Wilcock also regularly contributed to the History Channel, both on camera and as a consulting producer.

This was in his work on the 2009 series Ancient Aliens.

The series, which is named after the conspiracy theory that early humans were granted knowledge by an encounter with aliens, examines alien life, the supernatural, as well as investigating other conspiracy theories.
