Abstract

Overview

The study investigates mysterious auditory and sensory symptoms reported by U.S. government personnel in Havana starting in 2016. These incidents, involving nearly 200 reported cases, have been dubbed as "Havana Syndrome."

Findings

• The primary symptoms described include hearing loud high-pitched sounds believed to originate from specific directions such as above or behind the individual's head.
• The phenomenon of these sounds stops when moving away from the source and is unaffected by covering the ears.
• Not all individuals in the same location experience the sounds, indicating a highly directional auditory effect.
• Scientific analysis suggests that the symptoms could be explained by the microwave auditory effect, which aligns with the use of high-power microwave technology capable of targeting specific locations.

Conclusion

The study supports the hypothesis that Havana Syndrome could be a result of exposure to specific high-power microwaves, which while aligning with current safety standards, still represents a significant health risk. This effect can be achieved through commercially available technology, emphasizing the need for revising safety guidelines considering such directional auditory effects.
