Various social media posts have claimed that a young inventor from metro Atlanta has been missing for two weeks. Julian Brown, in his 20s, recently made headlines for his invention ‘Plastoline,’ which converts old plastics into usable fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Where is Julian Brown?

One Facebook post says, “Julian Brown, who has 1.3 million followers and 16 million likes on TikTok, has reportedly been missing for more than two weeks after claiming to successfully convert plastic waste into gasoline fuel. Share to get the word out.”
Another post reads, “Has anyone else been following Julian Brown. I thought that he just wasn’t popping up on my timeline but HE’S BEEN MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS!”
According to one Facebook post, Brown had shared some posts about how he was not going to live too long, and that someone was stalking him. Another post claimed that Brown had previously shared that “black helicopters where circling his house at night.” The post mentioned that Brown also said, “they have been following me. I know I don't have long to live.”
One post suggested that something may have happened to Brown for “pushing back against major oil/gas and electric companies.” “Hopefully they find him safe and well and hes hiding out somewhere but he was going places and working on nothing but good things,” the post reads.
