The Marconi Mystery: 22 Scientists Die Mysterious Deaths in Britain

from Conspiracy Theories · host Spotify Studios

In 1986, two young British defense scientists died under mysterious circumstances, sparking theories of foul play. Not only because both specialized in underwater defense systems; they also worked for the same company, Marconi Electronic Systems. Which was one of several defense contractors working with Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. As journalists sought out connections between the victims, more unexplained deaths piled up – until as many as 22 deaths were ultimately linked to the so-called “Marconi Mystery.” Help us reach 10k followers on Instagram! @⁠theconspiracypod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
